Stick to refined silhouettes with subtle details that won’t feel over the top. Look for midi and tea length hemlines that are a bit more formal but not as elaborate as a full gown. Comfort is key, so make sure to choose a shape that flatters your figure and you can breath in should you face a case of last-minute jitters.

Find our top 12 dress choices below that are casual but elegant enough for that intimate moment you will remember for a lifetime.
