We all know that floral prints are a staple which everyone has in their wardrobe ­– and they’re especially great for summer. There’s just something about them which puts everyone in a good mood, whatever the weather (even if it’s a rainy British summer!) However when it comes to choosing a wedding dress – have you ever considered why so many have a really delicate floral print hidden on them? It could be in the lace, embroidery or the fabric itself. Well, these are the reasons why we all love the floral print and why it should be one of the things you look for when buying your wedding dress of dreams. Trust us, it’s going to be hard to stay away from floral prints after this!

They’re flattering

It’s true, floral patterns break up your silhouette, drawing attention away from your shape – whether you’re super-curvy or thin as a beanpole, floral prints take the focus off your body and onto how great you feel wearing them. Isn’t that exactly what you’re looking for from a wedding dress? Win-win.

Floral prints are great if you’re having a wedding dress of two halves (so a bodice and a skirt) or if you’re going big, the outer lace layer could have a minimal floral design to it. It’s a really flattering print for any style dress or any body shape.

They’re playful

Floral prints are fun and cute, helping you feel fun and cute too. They’re not a super-serious pattern (no-one wears florals in court!) which makes them the perfect addition to any wedding dress design. It’s the perfect mixed vibe of playful and serious. Even if you use just a tiny bit of floral, tt’s a way of making things a little bit playfully pretty. The same goes for wedding jewellery. Just take a look at Red Dot Jewels bridal collection and you’ll see just how gorgeous wedding jewellery can be. Oh, and did you notice the floral-inspired pieces?! See, you can add that floral print in ANYWHERE? Don’t forget the garter!

They’re usually in pretty colours

Flowers come in gorgeous colours in order to entice insects to drink their nectar and spread pollen far and wide. Floral prints usually come in equally pretty colours… to attract good feelings to the wearer. We know you might not want a bright pink wedding dress, but this is where the sparkle comes in. Embellished floral patterns are just beautiful and you can choose whatever colour embellishment you desire! It’s your day, you can wear what you want!

They’re feminine

You can’t get much more feminine than flowers. Whilst appearance isn’t the most important thing about a person, and not all women want to be feminine – if that’s your jam, sometimes it’s really nice to feel pretty. And a floral print can make everyone feel pretty, whether you’re swishing around in a floaty wedding dress or keeping cool in a chic white wedding jumpsuit. It’s all about that princess feeling on the day and theres nothing quite like a floral print to do that job on such a special day.
