FAQs About Floral Dresses for Weddings
Can you wear a white dress with a floral print for a wedding?
By now, most people know that you should never wear white to a wedding, but when it comes to floral dresses, there still seems to be a bit of a gray area. According to experts, you should steer clear of any patterns that are predominantly white. So, if the dress you're eyeing is white with floral detailing, it's probably a no-go.
Can you wear a black floral dress to a wedding?
In the world of wedding guest attire, black dresses are a classic option, and the same can be said about black floral dresses. Black dresses with a floral print offer a fun way to switch things up from your usual style. Plus, they're just as timeless!
Can you wear a floral dress to a formal wedding?
The short answer: Yes! Floral wedding guest dresses come in so many different styles, from festive frocks to sexy slips. No matter the dress code of the event you're attending, you're bound to find a floral wedding guest dress that's perfect for the occasion. For a formal or black-tie wedding, we recommend opting for a floor-length gown. Brands like Milla and Mac Duggal cater specifically to these types of dress codes. Plus, they have plenty of floral options you're sure to love.
How do you wear a floral dress to a wedding?
The best way to style your floral wedding guest dress can vary depending on the dress code. For a casual event, you could pair it with sandals and sunnies for a laid-back look. For a semi-formal dress code, opt for a pair of block heels or wedges, and a matching shoulder bag. For a formal or black tie dress code, you can't go wrong with a pair of patent pumps and a metallic clutch.
