Preparations forJordana Brewster’supcoming wedding to fiancé Mason Morfit are in full swing.
On Tuesday,Lauren Conradand Hannah Skvarla’s nonprofit The Little Market hosted its annual International Women’s Day luncheon in Santa Monica, where theFast and Furiousstar, 41, told PEOPLE on the red carpet that the task she’s currently focused on is finding her dream dress.
“I’m going to go try on dresses next week at Carolina Herrera, and I have a vision of exactly what I want,” Brewster says. “I’m excited!”
Just as thrilled as Brewster about the upcoming nuptials are her two sons, Rowan, 5, and Julian, 8, whom she shares with ex-husband Andrew Form.
“I’m trying to integrate them into the ceremony in a special, very thoughtful way,” she says of her sons. “I think Rowan’s going to do something musical and Julian’s going to give a speech of some sort. So yeah, it’ll be fun.”
In addition to Rowan’s musical performance, Brewster says Morfit, a tech CEO and musician, is planning to have some friends of his perform.
“He’s taking care of the music aspect,” she says, adding that she’s in charge of the more “aesthetic” details of the wedding. “I’m taking care of, like, ‘What should the table setting look like? Should we be under a tent? Should we not?”

At their wedding, Brewster also plans to serve up Zacapa No. 23 Rum, which she serves as a brand ambassador for.
“I really love it straight up,” she says. “So that’s probably how I’ll be serving it.”
Brewster says she was excited to see Zacapa and The Little Market, which she serves on the council for, joining together to celebrate International Women’s Day.
“It’s a very organic collaboration since both support women,” she says. “With Zacapa Rum, Lorena [Vásquez] is one of the main mix masters, and she makes all the drinks. She made all the drinks today. And I love what The Little Market does. It’s a very deliberate, wonderful way of helping communities of women.”
Since its inception in 2013 The Little Market (which has adigital shopand Los Angeles-based storefront) has worked closely with Fair Trade artisan groups and social enterprises around the globe to source ethical, sustainable gifts, accessories and home décor.

Huerta, 91, was recognized for her longstanding and effective commitment to the rights of farmworkers and for sharing in The Little Market’s vision for a world where women and girls are financially and socially empowered and where workplace equity and living wages are the norm rather than the exception.
“The Little Market’s all about celebrating and empowering women, so we are thrilled to be honoring Dolores,” Skvarla tells PEOPLE. “She is such an icon and has done such incredible work and is truly a role model for us.”
“She’s been advocating for farm workers rights and human rights and women’s rights for almost 70 years,” she continues. “Labor rights are really important to us, and we started The Little Market to make sure that we can find ways to support dignified job opportunities for women and individuals in vulnerable communities locally, nationally and globally.”

In the coming year, Conrad told PEOPLE that she and The Little Market team “would like to get back to traveling.”
“In the beginning, something that was really important to us was telling the stories behind the products,” she says. “We got to meet a lot of the artisans, go to lots of different locations, and we haven’t done that in a while. So I think the opportunity to do that again and expand the community is something that we’re looking forward to.”
