I am getting married in June. Different rehearsals have different levels of how formal you need to dress. I have been to some that are formal and some that aren't. That is up to the bride and it is totally normal to ask her what she wants. Mine is semi-formal and we are even putting it on our rehearsal dinner invitations. Just ask she bride and she should be able to tell you. Good luck!

At my rehearsal, I am having everyone dress hawaiian. This is because we are having it in a cabana bar type thing that has sand on the floor and all that good stuff (funy thing is is that this is in Wisconsin, lol). But I am having tropical flowers for my wedding and it kind of went with the whole theme. If your bride has a theme, maybe you all can dress with the theme. Otherwise just wear some dress pants and a nice shirt The rehearsal is supposed to be pretty informal because everyone is just having a good time and joking around. But ask the bride if she has any ideas.

Just find out if the rehearsal is going to be formal or casual first...and for either..just wear something nice..a pretty but simple dress or some slacks and a nice shirt..Save the bridesmaid dress for the ceremony

Brides can be very cranky a few days before the wedding. Try to dress nicely without being the center of attention. If she is use to seeing you wear a casual dress, like for church, wear a dress. It is a special occasion. Or if she is use to seeing you in dress pants that would be good too. Try to not wear anything that might be considered tacky by her parents or his parents or that might offend the preacher, ie: shorts or clothing that is too revealing.
And you can always ask the bride but don't be surprized if she says I dont care and then have her feelings hurt because you wore jeans and a teeshirt.
Brides are cranky, better to err on the safe side.

It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed. Based on her wearing a dress and saying "business casual" I would go with dress pants, a nice top or sweater and nice dress flats or heels. Last year I was a bridesmaid in a summer wedding. I was told by the bride that the rehearsal was "casual dress" so I wore dress pants and a sleeveless top with sandals. When I arrived, the bride, the MoH, the readers and the cousins were ALL wearing sundresses - they had decided to after telling me to dress casual. One other BM and I were wearing pants - nice. So, just be prepared! Good luck!

ask the bride how dressy the rehearsal is, some people will have a ultra casual bbq type thing since the next day is so formal, and some people will go full on semi formal, some will say what you would wear to church would be fine, its really according to the formality of the rehearsal dinner that will set clothing choices...ask and see, or when all else fails, a simple black dress is always appropriate and you cna dress it up or down!

I am assuming that after the rehearsal you will go to a rehearsal dinner which is normally done. To be safe, I would wear a lovely dress, with a nice short jacket over it. High heels; simple clutch handbag, understated jewelry and get your hair done in a simple style. You should be perfectly dressed for this occasion.
Good Luck

You shouldn't wear the dress to the rehearsal. Any sun dress will do just fine. Jeans and a sweatshirt would be inappropriate, but wear something you are comfortable in ... dress like you're going to a luncheon or an afternoon tea.

Anything you feel comfortable in. It's not a dress rehearsal, and doesn't really last that long. All attention is on the bride and groom, to make sure things are clear to them. It's a very casual thing. Hope you all have a very happy day

Where is the rehearsal and where is the rehearsal dinner? They range from picnic groves and churches to parks and banquet halls. I'd say where your "sunday" clothes. That way you are safe either way...throw a pair of jeans in the car in case they get the idea to go out later (recently went to a rehearsal dinner that ended at a go-kart place with mini-golf, marguaritas and a lot of laffs).
