Floral designs have always been popular with brides. They include floral patterns made from light fabrics such as chiffon, organza, lace, or tulle. Designs can also incorporate colors in shades of pink, blue, and green on top of lace with detailing. Here are tips for wearing a floral wedding dress.
What Is a Floral Wedding Dress?
Floral wedding dresses combine a traditional wedding dress with a modern floral design. The design can be anything from bright colored patterns to 3D roses inlaid in the fabric. First find the general style of dress you want and then see how you can incorporate floral accents or patterns.
Find the Wedding Dress That Fits Your Style And Venue
Wedding dresses with floral accents come in a variety of styles adaptable for your wedding. Maxi dresses are long and have a flowing skirt making them perfect for an outdoor wedding. This style of dress can be paired with sandals or flats. A-Line dresses are a traditional bridal style which has a fitted waist, and flare out gradually at the hemline. A-Line styles will flatter most body types.
If you’re having an indoor wedding or want to be able to move easier, consider wearing a shorter dress with heels and accessories. Another style of floral wedding dresses is high-low, which is a shorter front hemline and longer back hemline. This is perfect for a beach wedding or an outdoor reception.
Consider the Fabric of the Dress
A fabric can make or break the dress. Lace is delicate and lightweight for summer weddings taking place outdoors. Traditionally lace will be used as an overlay with other fabrics or as the entire dress itself. You can purchase lace with a delicate floral pattern.
Satin is for more formal weddings and will be heavier than lace. A middle ground between lace and satin is tulle, which is lightweight but will still hold its shape throughout the day. Tulle is also a great backdrop to incorporate satin flowers into your dress.
Keep Your Wedding Day Look Balanced
Keeping your wedding day look balanced is important because you want all the details to accentuate your wedding day look. If you have a gown with bold prints or intricate embroidery, use minimal jewelry and simple accessories. If your dress has a simpler design or style, choose bolder accessories. Pair this dress with a fun headpiece or statement jewelry.
Consider Floral Accents Rather than a Floral Dress
A floral dress won’t work from every bride or every wedding theme. Floral appliqués or a floral sash are a great way to feature floral without committing to a full floral wedding gown. A flower crown or floral jewelry is another way to feature floral in a more delicate way.
