Whether you grew up watching Cinderella twirl in that gorgeous blue dress or you had one treasured storybook (or three!) with wonderful illustrations, those beautiful ball gowns had us dreaming of fairytale weddings. And who could ever forget those glass slippers?
Want dreamy wedding shoes that capture the essence of those iconic heels? This week’s See Jane posts feature ideas for finding the perfect pair to wear to every event from your Engagement Party to your After Party…
EMBELLISH YOUR STORY
While wearing glass slippers isn’t outside the realm of possibility...you can capture the light (and a few gasps from guests!) by focusing on options with stunning crystals, a shimmer of glitter or a whimsical yet sophisticated detail.
One of our favorites is a strappy black Gucci sandal with crystal embellishment (pictured above via Jane's polyvore account). They combine a classic design, black-tie appropriate color and an element of the unexpected – which is exactly what you want in a show-stopping look! We love these paired with a little black (or black and white!) dress like our Morgan.
Seeking something whimsical? We love the idea of slipping on stunning sandals with floral or butterfly accents á la Valentino, Rene Caovilla or Sophia Webster (all pictured above) for your Bridal Shower or Bridesmaids’ Luncheon. This look is perfect when worn with a clean, modern silhouette like the Della.

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.
