Little white dresses are for front porch pictures, greeting guests and celebrating with bridesmaids. They're also the perfect backdrop for a Rustic wedding theme—one of our favorites. Fresh flowers from local farms and casual chic style go together beautifully. Many of the gorgeous blooms featured in our last photo shoot were grown by Elk Creek Flower Farm.
Rustic chic weddings call for modern style paired with airy natural fabrics and details. We love our Jana Off the Shoulder feminine and flowy Little White Bachelorette dress. The stylish ruffles combine with a modern off the shoulder neckline for a dress that is perfectly suited to outdoor wedding and garden parties. 
For an utterly feminine take on the Rustic theme, pair with Blush Pink Garden-Inspired Dahlia sandals for your Rehearsal and After Party. Pack with metallic flip flops for romantic honeymoon outings. Straw hat optional. This dress was so perfect for a Rustic wedding that even the birds and the bees were convinced they were in a garden.

The formal introduction of the wedding weekend — the practice walk down the aisle, the magical sound of champagne flutes celebrating the couple, the first glimpse of the bride the guests fall in love with all over again. The dress she chooses for it should feel less like a decision and more like a small, thrilling secret: fabric, silhouette, and style, orchestrating one unforgettable entrance.
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.
