With so many weddings postponed over the last few years, 2022 was a BIG year for brides and grooms across the UK but 2023 is set to be even bigger. And with so many wedding celebrations happening this year and next, many brides are looking for ways to make sure their special day stands out. One easy way to do this is with floral bridesmaid dresses.
Bridesmaid dress traditions have gone completely out the window over recent years, with brides opting for unique bridesmaid dresses for their bridal party. From white bridesmaid dresses to black bridesmaid dresses, multiway bridesmaid dresses that suit every body shape and even short bridesmaid dresses, there are more options than ever before when it comes to what your girls will wear on your big day.
If none of those suggestions sound quite right for you – maybe black seems too harsh for your summer wedding, your maid of honour hates her legs and wants a maxi dress, or sage bridesmaid dresses clash with your colour theme – may we recommend floral bridesmaid dresses for your consideration?
Coming in soft pastels and bold brights, printed on silk and embroidered onto tulle, scattered ditsy flowers or big blooms, there are seemingly endless designs of floral bridesmaid dresses. And that’s not even taking into account the different necklines and dress styles available, too. This rose pink tulle draped bridesmaid gown from Marchesa Notte Bridesmaids features a sweetheart neckline and Bardot sleeves that will make your bridesmaids look like princesses and give your wedding a fairytale feel. Plus it taps into the regency bridal trend that’s set to dominate this year thanks to Bridgerton, proving florals don’t have to be reserved for boho weddings and can work just as well for more formal occasions too.
Sure, florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but they’re not just reserved for weddings taking place in warmer months. Floral bridesmaid dresses can work just as well for winter weddings dependent on the colour palette, like this Bec & Bridge maxi dress that features a gold floral print on a navy background. And if your budget is a concern, there are plenty of floral bridesmaid dresses on the high street. Head to ASOS for plenty of purse-friendly dresses, including this Hope & Ivy cold shoulder satin maxi dress in an appropriately named ‘autumn floral’ colourway.
