Rehearsal Dinner
I am so excited about our rehearsal dinner! It will be the night before the wedding at Maggiano’s Little Italy. I just love their food and their service is amazing. We have been to two rehearsal dinners there in the past and the service is so great. The food is endless, so I don’t doubt that I will be gaining 5-10 pounds that night. I better watch it if I want to fit into my dress the next day!
YUM!
The dress I selected for the rehearsal dinner is much dressier that the tone of our overall wedding weekend. I wanted one opportunity to dress up in a cocktail dress and satin shoes and this is the perfect chance for that.
My dress is a Maggie London mesh tiered dress from Macy’s.
How cute!
And the shoe, which I haven’t decided if I am going to wear this or keep looking, is a bright purple satin shoe from Dillards:
Kind of sassy, right?
The food for the evening is going to be AMAZING. We are going with the following menu:
Appetizers: Calamari Fritte & Stuffed Mushrooms
Salads: Maggiano & my favorite- Tomato Caprese
Pastas: Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli & Penne with Marinara
