Award season was full of gorgeous inspiration to help you channel the most glamorous Hollywood style icons for your pre-wedding events. We combed through the season's key moments and have ideas for sophisticated looks perfect for each of your events.

SELECT A SLEEK SILHOUETTE

During the Oscars, countless celebrities opted for a sleek, form-fitting dress versus a traditional ball gown. We love this idea (although to be completely honest, we will always love the iconic silhouette Jennifer Lawrence presented as she prepared to accept her Oscar in that inimitable Dior gown a few years ago). A streamlined sheath silhouette with a textural floral motif is perfect for rehearsal dinners and engagement photographs à la our Catherine Halter Dress. Stylishly accessorize with brilliant Pink Diamond studs and a delicate diamond bracelet.

WHITE NOW

A surge of celebrities chose to wear white dresses with elegant details to the Golden Globes. Ruffles, pleats and custom designs were all on display. Your wedding weekend is an ideal opportunity to do the same. Select a modern all-white look with a sleek sophisticated detail. A delicate silver ribbon gracefully tied at the back neck creates the ultra feminine mark of our Lisa Sheath (pictured above).  As evidenced by the above image, this style photographs beautifully.  Subtly highlight the beautiful ribbon back with an artfully styled top knot and brilliant Pink Diamond earrings. 

ELEGANT EMBELLISHMENTS

Whether you were watching the SAG awards or the Golden Globes, we’re sure you noticed this one. Nominees were not afraid to show off their glamorous side with bold details, lace accents and sequins. If you’re looking for something more daring, take a hint from your favorite actress and incorporate additional shimmer.

Pearl sequins cast subtly sparkling reflections in our Sydney Silk Sweetheart Dress.  A delicately sequined Georgette bodice married to a feminine Blush Silk skirt to create a breathtaking and picture perfect image for your Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding Reception or After Party. Underscore with minimalist jewelry...a delicate diamond bracelet, pearl and diamond earrings...

We know that choosing the perfect attire for your rehearsal dinner, wedding weekend and even bridal showers merits additional inspiration.  Select this lovely link to visit our Pinterest boards for chic looks, sophisticated style and gorgeous wedding and little white dress inspiration.

THE JANE EDIT | The Modern Bridal Mini

by Jane Summers

The hemline has risen—intentionally.

The modern bridal mini has shifted from an after-party alternative to a ceremony-ready statement--the Little White Dress redefined. It has become city-hall appropriate, rehearsal-dinner definitive, and wedding-reception essential. Structured, abbreviated, and deliberate, it signals confidence rather than compromise. The short wedding dress was once a radical departure; today it is simply a sophisticated choice for a white rehearsal dinner dress, a wedding reception second look, and an after party wedding dress. The bridal mini dress honors the heritage of 1960s couture and makes an equally compelling case as the second look.
