We've seen vintage mismatched place settings grace both luxurious and understated Bridal Showers. This idea is also perfect for Bridesmaids' Luncheons as you share the moment with your best friends and inject your personal style.
Gather your bridesmaids for a sunlit luncheon complete with charming tea cups and delicate patterned tableware. Making this celebration uniquely yours is as simple as a trip to your grandmother’s China Cabinet. Hand-pick every piece from your mother's, aunts' or grandmother's serving pieces. These items, each with beautiful (and sentimental) vintage flair will complement your own uniquely modern style.
Once you have the main décor, it’s time to surround each bridesmaid with something a bit more modern in the same hues. Take a note from Kara Anne Paper and incorporate custom calligraphy escort cards or patterned menus.
Don’t forget the flowers! Whether your favorites are peonies, roses or dusty miller, simply pick them in hues that match the day’s color scheme and put each one in a clear glass vase. Now you have chic Bridesmaids' Luncheon décor worthy of an English tea party!

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.
Minimal design meets architectural intention in the Josette, a white strapless rehearsal dress and minimal wedding dress designed for modern brides. This style guide explores how to style a civil ceremony dress with purpose — transforming clean structure into a refined statement for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, and intimate wedding receptions.
Who says the magic has to begin at “I do”? For today’s modern bride, every event leading up to the wedding is a moment worthy of sartorial celebration. From the engagement party to the rehearsal dinner and every toast in between, creating a beautiful and unique assortment of little white dresses is an opportunity for each bride to showcase her personal style. One of our favorite options is to choose a little white dress with a subtle amount of sparkle.
