    I am curious about this!  I have seen some brides do it and others not.  I don't need to decide for a bit, but the wheels in my brain are already in motion : )

    I'm planning on wearing some sort of sundress that's predominately white, but probably not solid. I just love the idea!

    I wasn't set on white but since i have a lovely white eyelet sundress already i figure why not. But now i don't want to wear it until the RD b/c i don't need to stress about finding a replacement just in case something ruins it.

    I'm not wearing white, only because I don't really find it flattering on me and I haven't found any white dresses that I like. I'll probably wear a dress that at least sort of fits into the wedding color scheme.

    I'm wearing a BRIGHT dress! I found something fun and beautiful and totally appropriate for my venue, so I already purchased it.

    Nope, no white for me before the big day. I thought about it, but decided to wear a cute strapless pink dress. It has a cute lil bodice and has a bigger, rounder bottom - Sex and the city-esque, totally! Our colors are pink and platinum so I'm playing up that theme. Plus, I found it at The Rack for $30!!

    Bright, vibrant teal I think. I almost wore color to the wedding, so certainly will be wearing color beforehand, if I get an opportunity!

    I just happen to have a white dress with grey flowers and I really like it. It has a pink accent around the neckline. It's not exactly white.

    I love the idea of wearing a little white dress to the rehearsal but for me personally, it's not practical -- I don't usually wear white dresses...they always seem a little bit too nice =). instead I'll be wearing a deep blue J.Crew dress. And while we're the first of our age to get married, we have a LOT of friends who will probably get engaged within the next year or so, so getting a dress in a color that's rewearable to weddings is a big plus for me!

    I had not thought of the rewearability factor before - good point!

    I have a dress that my Grandfather bought me, but I have never worn. I want to wear that (even though its teal) to my rehearsal dinner since he is no longer with us.

    I knew I'd be wearing some pale dress be it white or not.  I ended up in a great pale yellow and wouldnt have changed it!

    I was totally going to, but the ivory dress i bought for my bachelorette party was a little too risque for a rehearsal dinner. Better for a date or night on the town. I just fell in love with a black dress from white house black market and was totally sold. Now i'm doing black dress, a colorful necklace, and hot pink heels. I wore white to all my showers/bachelorette party though!

    Every time I wear white, I inevitably spill on it.  So no white for me at the rehearsal dinner!

    I'm still undecided on this. I am planning to wear my mom's veil at the rehearsal since it doesn't go with my dress, so I"m not sure if white will look TOO bridal-ly.

    I'm not sure what I'll be wearing since my wedding is still a year away, but I don't see anything wrong with wearing white/ivory/creme/off-white/whateveryouwannacallit.  I've seen girls wear white to their rehearsal dinners, to bachelorette parties, to bridal showers, and they look totally cute!

    I'm wearing a white strapless dress with black trim, black flowers at the bottom, and a black belt, from White House Black Market.

    I hadn't even thought about wearing white for the rehearsal dinner, actually. I really love colorful dresses and so I think I'm going to try to go for something green (my favorite color) and sexy (but still in good taste - I'll be with family, not in a club!) I would feel like I was taking something away from my wedding dress if I wore white beforehand - but that's just me. If you want white, go for it!

    I love the idea of a white dress for rehersal dinner- since looking for wedding dresses I have seen so many adorable shorter white dresses not appropriate for my wedding but perfect for the R.D.
