We love seeing a hint of a bridesmaid's style at the wedding. Here are a few ways to let your best friends show off their individual tastes and look stunning while doing so! After all, their personalities are why you love them.
CUSTOM BOUQUETS
Customize their bouquets or boutonnieres. Give each bridesmaid (or bridesman!) his or her own flower arrangement that differs by color or flower composition—think about each one’s personality and select signature colors or flowers to create a bouquet. We also love sewing a miniature monogram into the bouquet sash. Swooning about these striped tulips with their delicate ruffled petals against a chic Gunmetal or Navy dress...
STYLISH ACCESSORIES
Another option is to collaborate with your bridesmaids on accessories, shoes or hair ideas. Pinterest is a fantastic way to do this, especially if your bridesmaids don’t all live in the same city. Simply start a board with a few beautiful inspirational images, invite your bridesmaids to pin and voilà. Many brands also offer a buy feature on their pinned items making purchases quick and easy (we love checking off our wedding planning to-do list with the help of our gal pals!). Your bridesmaids will be lovely in (and love you for choosing!) a sophisticated Little Black Dress. The Madeline (with our signature Melon lining peeking out) is one of our favorites especially when styled with chic Christian Dior Stilettos and a Gatsby-inspired vintage necklace...
BRIDAL MANIS
A third idea is a selection of stylish manicure or pedicure colors for the bridal party. We also love a modern manicure with a pattern--think floral or stripe motif in soft neutral hues. Bridal manis are an easy way to personalize any look. Plus, it’s on trend!
It all comes down to what works best for you, your wedding style and your beautiful bridal party. Whatever you choose, we know it will be stunning!

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.
