Celebrate Love in Times Square
The red steps in Times Square are for much more than just people-watching. Say “I do” for the first time surrounded by couples and the city that brought you together or renew your vows on the red steps of Duffy Square at 6 p.m. This annual event will be sure to become part of your yearly romantic rituals. For new couples, there’s something for you as well. Surprise proposals pop up on the big screen throughout the day. (Perhaps one may be your own!)
Discover your favorite works of art with a Valentine Tour at MoMA. If artistry by some of the world’s masters takes your breath away, this may be the perfect event. A glass of wine as well as Caviar-and-Dill-Topped Salmon Rillettes Crostini and other incredible hors d’oeuvres will greet you and your sweetheart when you enter the museum. Once you’ve mingled with the other guests, an art historian will take you through multiple rare pieces including the original “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. Get ready to lose yourself in one of the world’s most impressive collections.

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.
