When it comes to dressing for a spring or summer wedding, there are few prints better than floral ones. They're pretty, they're on theme, and they add color and interest to even the simplest of silhouettes. But floral prints have become so popular—and, in turn, have become so varied—that you can even find one that works for a fall or winter wedding, too. Dark florals in heavy fabrics can be worn during the cold weather months, while light, pastel florals in chiffon and similar breezy fabrics tend to work best during the spring and summer. If you're the mother of the bride or groom, you should certainly considering wearing a floral dress to the big day.
In addition to being beautiful, flattering, and downright fun, a floral dress is the perfect way to ensure that your look coordinates with the wedding party and the day's overall color palette. If you're typically not someone who wears prints, look for a floral pattern that's subtle and small. You won't feel like you're wearing a statement dress, but rather just adding an interesting detail to your mother-of-the-bride or -groom dress. Another plus: When you're wearing florals, you don't really need to add other jewelry or accessories as the the gorgeous fabric and print can generally speak for itself.
