Find Your Dream Centerpiece Dress For Your Dinner Party Wedding
Written By Fawnia Soo Hoo
The food, the drinks, and the overall vibe at your favorite restaurants express quite a lot about you — and it's a joyful experience you love to share with your friends and family, right? So, no wonder some couples are forgoing the traditional ceremony and reception for dinner parties to celebrate their nuptials.
Instead of a whirlwind of people, music and events, an intimate gathering over a celebratory meal — and maybe cocktail hour first — allows you to engage in meaningful conversation with your cherished guests, partake in delicious cuisine and select beverages, really commit to a meaningful theme and curate your own décor down to the name cards — if you’re even that formal. You do you, which is the beauty of a self-expressive dinner party wedding! Maybe it's the restaurant where you and your soul mate first met, your go-to, the hottest eatery at your destination locale or an outdoor feast at sunset. There are no rules!
Need some inspo? Take a look:
A glittering mini-dress — complete with dynamic fringed-beading — matches the soundtrack and spirit for a jazz-themed banquet. A power-mesh built-in bodysuit will keep you comfortable, and secure from dinner straight into dancing.

Float into cocktail hour in a one-shoulder slip dress with the most delicate strap. The playful asymmetrical neckline and low-plunge back help create the most perfect seated photos at the dinner table, too. https://www.galialahav.com/products/courtney
A cowl-neck mini-dress, covered in brilliant sequins and beading, easily transitions from dessert to dancing on the table — all night long. https://www.galialahav.com/products/lottie
An edgy, but polished cropped, power-shoulder blazer paired with a longline, sculpted crepe skirt feels very “I planned a VIP gathering at that one restaurant where it’s impossible to score a reservation.”

Personalize a ‘90s-referential scoop-neck crepe gown with accessories that exemplify you and your personal style — be it an heirloom pendant or chunky statement necklace or towering strappy platforms or easy stacked-heel sandals. You get the idea!

Opulent hand-beading and dainty straps evoke the formality of an evening gown. But a jumpsuit silhouette feels more relaxed and unconventional for a non-traditional wedding. Plus, you really could rewear it for future special occasions.

Speaking of pieces you’ll want to restyle, a cropped jacket — hand-beaded with sequins and crystals, and trimmed with exuberant fringe — immediately amps up an easy slip dress or tailored trousers you already have in your closet. But it is your wedding day, after all, so consider pairing it with a matching miniskirt. Salut
