Instagram is full of proposal announcements RN, but while a grid post is enough for some brides-to-be, a big celebration in one of the best engagement party dresses is what’s on the minds of others. Hey, if you can’t go all-out when you’re recently betrothed, then when can you?
Often just as important as ‘the day’ itself, an engagement party is where all eyes are guaranteed to be on you – so you want to look (and more importantly, feel) good. Plus, not only are they the perfect receptions for receiving all those lovely engagement gifts, but, as the first of many wedding-related events, they’re also the one which will set the tone for your future bridal style. So you want to impress.

Everyone’s favorite dress label, Needle & Thread, knows exactly what you’re looking for with its Regal Rose Gloss Strapless Micro Mini Dress. At a treat-yourself price point (though you deserve it), the strapless design captures all the elegance and sophistication you could wish to exude, while the sequins add a fun and sparkly slant.
Looking for something more simplistic? Ghost’s enchanting Mari midi design is certain to bring an influx of compliments your way. Or, on the lower end of the price spectrum, ASOS’ selection of the best engagement party dresses and other pieces for your special occasion – white suits included – are spot on, especially for those of you who want to save your money for the wedding dress itself.
I didn’t end up having an engagement party myself (regrets), but if I had, then either the Olivia dress from Nadine Merabi or the Gaia dress from Nobody’s Child would have been my silhouettes of choice for the occasion. Both could easily be worn again to a lavish date night dinner with the other half, too.
