The 32 Best Outfits for a Virtual Bridal Shower

With social-distancing standards in place, you've likely faced many changes when it comes to your wedding as a bride-to-be. Your date, venue, vendors, honeymoon, or all of the above might be effected thus far as well as pre-marriage celebrations like your bridal shower. If your shower was planned to a T, your preference might be to postpone until a later date. If a delay is not your ideal, virtual bridal showers and even virtual weddings are a new trend embraced by brides-to-be. Is it the ideal scenario of your dreams? Surely not. But as we roll with the times, it's the new normal and a way to still feel the love without sacrificing everything (i.e., canceling the event entirely).

Though you'll be embracing guests with virtual hugs and glass clinks, you can still wear the bridal shower dress of your dreams, whether your bridal aesthetic is leaning bohemian, black-tie, or laid-back. Your bridal shower outfit is the one way you can maintain a sense of normalcy during this time and feel that dress-up excitement you would have felt in-person alongside your family and friends. So, why not select something that makes you feel your absolute best? You'll still take plenty of photos via virtual group shots, mirror selfies, or an at-home photo session, which makes a stylish look incredibly necessary no matter what type of dress you choose.

From budget-conscious finds to designer styles, keep scrolling for the best outfits for a virtual bridal shower. Each one will have you looking and feeling your bridal best – cheers to that!
