Spring is just a few weeks away, which means Macy's is about to cover the country in beautiful blooms for their annual flower shows! While we're waiting, we've fallen in love with these incredible paper flowers blooming in the Carolina Herrerra windows on Madison Avenue. Want to incorporate these unique details into your wedding? Here are a few ideas...
It all starts with making a chic entrance. Mark your ceremony space with soft floral and calligraphy wedding signs. These delicate details bring in the natural look from your favorite blooms without taking away from your color scheme or overall decor. Want an extra-sophisticated touch? Add a chic metallic frame.
After the ceremony, welcome guests with something unique and extravagant. One of our favorites: sculptural escort cards by Bohemian Bloom. Shown below and designed by Tana Leigh Gerber, these accents are absolutely stunning! They add a sense of texture that you can’t get from a standard card. Your guests will love having their own personal keepsake bloom.

Craving even more unique florals? Just add water (color!). We love the idea of taking hand-painted fabric (like the one in this lovely link from Momental Designs’ Kristy Rice) and turning it into a special clutch or bouquet sash for your bridesmaids. These elegant floral prints are the perfect sophisticated accent to your decor.
Check our Instagram feed closer to the show for some standout blooms and colorful inspiration.
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.
