Josephine Backless Short White Courthouse And City Hall Wedding Dress

Josephine: The statement-making Little White Dress

We have it on very good authority that this little white dress photographs beautifully—capturing every twirl, every toast, every unforgettable moment. The ultimate wedding reception dress, rehearsal dinner dress, and chic civil ceremony look. Our designers worked side by side with a master pattern maker to engineer the most exquisite first dance dress, crafted with couture-inspired details—literally designed to twirl.

From the fitted, shoulder-skimming ballet neckline to the subtly dramatic backless detail, this couture-inspired, sophisticated modern white dress whispers sartorial bridal style in every stitch. Josephine is more than a dress—serenaded by tinkling champagne flutes and festive mini sparklers, it's a timeless icon and an unforgettable moment waiting to happen.

For styling, we recommend keeping it simple and sophisticated. We love a strappy Stuart Weitzman stiletto and a chic up-do with stunning Bounkit custom earrings.

This dress is a masterclass in the art of subtle drama, perfectly balanced between the breathtaking open back and the shoulder-skimming ballet neck.
