Whether you’re sipping champagne with dear friends or enjoying that first bite of dinner, an oh-so-familiar chime is sure to ring through the room. While we love that classic *clink,* we can’t help but enjoy a few charming kissing alternatives.
A kissing “menu” on every guest’s plate is one of them. Instead of raising a utensil to their glasses, friends and family members are encouraged to follow a prescribed list. A La, an entire table of guests must serenade the couple with a classic song or a guest may share their best marriage advice. These actions are sure to create a few memories and are nothing short of charming!
Other couples have personalized the game even further with a love letter. A custom card by the centerpiece tells guests to choose a task from a jar if they want the couple to kiss. These tasks are written by the couple so no one else knows what to expect. Retelling a memory about their childhoods or sharing a moment in the photo booth would definitely be on our list.
Whatever the option, each card shows off the couple’s unique style and shares a few unforgettable moments with their guests.
Now, we want to know what would be on your list! Share your pick with us using #JaneSummersBride. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The formal introduction of the wedding weekend — the practice walk down the aisle, the magical sound of champagne flutes celebrating the couple, the first glimpse of the bride the guests fall in love with all over again. The dress she chooses for it should feel less like a decision and more like a small, thrilling secret: fabric, silhouette, and style, orchestrating one unforgettable entrance.
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.
