Getting showered with roses doesn’t have to end with Valentine’s Day! Turn those beautiful blooms from your sweetheart into bouquets of inspiration for your wedding. Not sure where to start? We have a few unexpected design ideas.
FLOWER WALL BACKDROP
Photo booths have become a staple at weddings over the past few years. One way to ensure your celebration stands out is by having a grand rose backdrop. Bring the outside in with various shades of red, white and pink or mix things up with different-style blooms. (Garden roses, Peonies, Dahlias and Hydrangeas are a few of our favorites). Guests will be lining up to take their picture with such a gorgeous display. Imagine all of the beautiful picture-perfect memories that will be created.
POMANDER AISLE DECOR
Tissue Rose Pomander
We love this whimsical twist on classic floral décor. Instead of draping your ceremony aisle with garland or mini bouquets, attract the eye of every friend and family member with rose pomanders. These charming floral clusters delicately dancing throughout the ceremony will put dozens of roses at guests' fingertips in a chic and surprising display. Simply transfer to the reception for stylish accents blooming by the dance floor.
LUSH FLOWER CROWNS
Whether you are leaning toward a bohemian wedding or simply prefer a fashionable alternative to a bouquet, this will do the trick. Infuse floral elements into your look (as well as your bridesmaids!) with a stylish crown of roses or smaller monochromatic blooms. The burst of color and delicate petals adds an elegant touch of romance.

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.
