15 Engagement Dresses To Set The Style Tone For Your Upcoming Nuptials

If your significant other has popped the question and you’ve relished in all the ensuing excitement—posting the perfect ring pic to the grid, squealing over facetime to family and friends—the official planning can begin, starting with the engagement party, of course.

While there are plenty of places you could start your planning—venue, guest list, decorations—there’s one that we firmly believe takes precedence over all others: the dress.

In a nod to the special day-to-come, the bride-to-be traditionally wears white.

So, we’ve rounded up some of the chicest dresses to wear to your engagement party below—and, if you’re not one for tradition, you can always shop them in a different colour.
