Chic St. Louis Wedding Rehearsal Dinner with Personalized Touches
This modern St. Louis wedding rehearsal dinner at The Hall at Olive + Oak, perfectly blended elegant style with a relaxed restaurant setting. Erin and Matthew celebrated the night before their wedding surrounded by friends and family in a bright, airy space filled with natural light, industrial details, and cheerful florals.
The private event space at this chic downtown St. Louis farm-to-table restaurant made the perfect backdrop for a stress-free, hands-off rehearsal dinner at a restaurant. As guests arrived, they were greeted with a modern black and white sign directing them to which portion of the hall was the space for them to attend the rehearsal dinner.
Today’s real rehearsal dinner was a contemporary yet relatable celebration that kicked off the couple’s wedding weekend. Complete with a cocktail hour in cocktail attire, guests enjoyed an open bar with craft cocktails in the warm modern atmosphere, think polished concrete floors, sky-high ceilings, and lush greenery.

This bride and groom’s rehearsal dinner outfits were perfectly coordinated for the occasion. Erin’s chic all-white rehearsal dinner dress featured a short underlay with a long floral lace overlay for a timeless and trendy look. Matt’s groom’s attire complemented Erin perfectly with navy slacks paired with a crisp white shirt and light blue blazer.
When it comes to hosting a wedding rehearsal dinner at a restaurant, this couple did it perfectly. They took advantage of the restaurant’s beauty and expertise to craft a customized menu for both food and drinks. Using the venue space to their advantage, the couple opted for a long table for their guests to sit down for the meal.
For the rehearsal dinner decor, the couple chose long family style tables lined with colorful floral centerpieces in glass bud vases. Bright yellow mums, coral carnations, purple irises, and green hydrangeas added pops of color against the restaurant’s modern industrial backdrop. Simple lit candles in tall hurricanes added warmth and glow to the space.
Personalized details made this modern rehearsal dinner truly special! First up, guests were greeted with a cute rehearsal dinner welcome sign in coordinating colors to the fun flowers. Next, each place setting featured a coordinating place cards personalized for the guest and a menu with the featured foods for the evening. The welcome sign, place cards, and menus all tied together with a hand drawn border design that added a cohesive, creative touch. We also loved that the couple incorporated personalized cocktail napkins for a fun touch!
