Thanks to the ultra-fashionable low block heel, you have multiple heel heights from which to choose. We suggest taking advantage of this for your reception and After Party!
PLAY WITH HEIGHT
We love the idea of entering the reception - and stepping into your first dance - in a pair of gorgeous stilettos (Christian Louboutins are among our go-to’s for their exquisite craftsmanship and style). If you’re comfortable in extra-high heels, they can make those much-practiced moves even more photo-worthy.
As the reception continues and it’s time to celebrate with all of your guests on the dance floor, switch into a pair of lower block heels. The glitter detail and modern, low block heel of the Miu Miu sandals shown above will ensure you can stylishly dance the night away without the need for a break. They also perfectly transition to an After Party look--especially if you’re planning on changing into a shorter dress, along the lines of the Mary Harper shift...how can guests resist a new outfit to compliment? In addition to the shimmer effect of a glitter or metallic detail, an airy feather or stylish bow can also provide an element of sophisticated whimsy.

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.
