6 of the best floral wedding dresses

Are you planning a spring wedding? Then our round-up of beautiful floral wedding dresses is for you. Think intricately embroidered petals and leaves, 3D blooms and contemporary, oversized flowers, all perfect for the warm spring days that are just round the corner.

How to choose the perfect floral wedding dresses

Modern floral wedding dresses include everything from traditional silhouettes with understated classic lace to an abundance of glittering, princess-worthy petals. There are also plenty of fashion-forward styles with bold flowers that ‘pop’ from the dress or chic botanical patterns in new materials like burnt-out Mikado.  

As ever, be guided by the look and feel of your day. If you’re marrying in a spring garden or woodland that’s bursting into bloom, why not reflect your surroundings with delicately embroidered flowers and tendrils that appear to ‘grow’ across your dress? Intricate floral lace is a bridal staple and, if you’d prefer to keep it subtle, look for elegant shapes with soft florals on the bodice and straps paired with a plain skirt. Contemporary brides shouldn’t rule out flowers, either. Head-to-toe blooms in bold, oversized patterns make a strong statement and are a big trend for the coming year.

Below, we’ve picked six of our favourite floral wedding dresses in three distinct styles, to help you find the perfect petals for you. It’s time to discover the power of flowers…

The look: Head-to-toe florals

All-over lace creates a different effect depending on the style of the dress. For example, Florelle a lace A line by Heidi Hudson, is entirely covered in soft embroidery with statement, oversized floral motifs. Combined with the simple silhouette and sheer fabric, it has a modern bohemian feel that also looks amazing styled with a loose hairdo and a floral halo that add to the relaxed appeal.

Alternatively, Yustina by Aaliyah Quinn brings all-over florals bang up to date. Here, a classic silhouette has been reimagined in stunning burnt-out organza. This creates a floral pattern without the weight of traditional lace. Also, due to the nature of fabric, in different lights the pattern is subtle yet visible, perfect for an understated floral look. The rest of the dress is relatively simple, so the flowers really are the star of the show.

The look: Bold and romantic

Think floral wedding dresses can’t be sexy? Think again! The next two designs take floral lace up a notch for a dash of sex appeal, thanks to sheer fabrics and stunning fitted silhouettes.

Ravello by Miavalenca mixes beautiful floral lace with a catwalk-style plunging V neck, figure-flattering illusion cut-outs and a sleek crepe skirt. There’s more floral lace at the hem, which fans out into a showstopping, statement train. The intricate lace is the perfect contrast to the plain crepe and gives this striking sheath just the right amount of breathtaking detailing.

Jakob has a similar glamorous, flirty appeal. It also has a cut-out lace train and more florals accentuate the hips at the top of the luxuriously draped crepe skirt. However, the main wow-factor here comes from the beautiful ‘butterfly’ keyhole back, which is the ultimate in romance.

The look: Understated and effortless

Lace can also be simple and stylish, without too much unnecessary detailing or shimmer. Tarnie is the epitome of effortless boho beauty. A slim, A-line in floaty tulle, the embroidered botanical lace features a combination of classic motifs and more delicate outlines. It decorates the bodice, allowing the exposed boning to peek through, and then tumbles prettily down the soft skirt. It’s a look that’s all about enhancing natural beauty in the most gentle way.

Lastly, we have a design that shows how traditional lace can feel both modern and timeless all at once. Perfect for a more classic day, Corinthia by Anna Sorrano is an elegant A-line enhanced by matte floral lace. The matte finish and unfussy outlines give this lace an understated feel. Then the illusion back adds to this by creating a simple frame around a neat row of covered buttons. The lace also trails over the waistline and hips, onto the classic tulle skirt, but the hem is left stylishly unadorned.
