I need to know your location, nearest big city and country, to tell you exactly what you are seeing. Thank you.
I believe you are seeing Saturn exactly east, and higher up from Saturn, further toward SSE, you are seeing Venus which is brighter. There is nothing else bright enough to be visible at dawn, and nothing at exactly SE.
Mars is much higher and dimmer at dawn.

The brightest (almost blue) is Venus.
The other, if I'm remembering correctly, is part of the constellation Ursa Major or the Big Dipper.

The brighter one is Venus, rising about an hour before sunrise.
The other one is Saturn, and is near the bright star Regulus.

The brightest one is Venus. If the dimmer one is below Venus then it is Saturn, but if it is much higher, almost directly overhead, then it is Mars.
