When it comes to planning your wedding, an area that is often overlooked is the rehearsal dinner. Today’s rehearsal dinner inspiration at Greencrest Manor shows how it can actually be curated as an extended experience of your wedding day.

This pre-wedding celebration design consists of an outdoor setup that infuses the garden-like vibes of the venue. With candlelight, pink peonies, and the prettiest stationery the table scape is one that I adore. It’s so good it could easily pass for an intimate wedding itself.

Additionally, no rehearsal dinner is complete without a little white dress. In this case, the model bride-to-be wore a midi-dress. The sleeves, complete with billowing and lace are effortlessly beautiful.

Although this rehearsal dinner inspiration is more formal, the setting is so calming that it feels like an upscale picnic. Furthermore, we typically see rehearsal dinners taking place in the evening, but a brunch style soiree with the sun shining is also beautiful.

I think these photos by Sarah Stip really do a great job of representing a fresh approach. I hope you’re able to take something away to invest into your rehearsal dinner too!
