Why Floral Wedding Guest Dresses Are a Vibe

Playful, romantic, and vibrant, floral dresses always match the mood. You can dress them up or down, making them the perfect choice for tricky dress codes. Every wedding is different and finding a look that you love that also matches the dress code can be daunting. Having a versatile floral dress in your wardrobe will be a life-saver for these moments! Whether you're going for a soft and subtle look or bold and bright, there's a floral print in this collection that will tick all of your boxes. Floral dresses come in all sorts of styles - you've got soft pastels, your bright tropical prints, and everything in between. There's loads of outfit options, so you'll have no problems showing off your style while still keeping it wedding-appropriate!

Floral Maxi Dresses

Let's talk the epitome of wedding guest attire - the floral maxi dress. These elegant dresses are comfortable, cute and will be a fave long after wedding season is over. There's loads of reasons why we're obsessed, but we'll keep it short and sweet. They're perfect for any season; layer up with a cute jacket for fall weddings or sport it solo for summer events. They are the definition of versatility. Dress your floral maxi up with heels for a formal vibe or keep it casual with sandals for a garden party. Comfort is next level in these long dresses. They are super comfortable and most importantly, dance floor-friendly!

Our top pick right now? A flowy, off-the-shoulder dress with a digital floral print. Pair it with some strappy sandals and dainty gold jewelry, and you're good to go! Make sure to take a pic and tag us @princesspollyboutique on Instagram so we can hype you up!

Mini Dress Moments: Short Floral Dresses

Love a mini dress? So do we. Short floral dresses are always in. They're flirty, fun, and perfect for summer weddings. Here are some styles we're loving! Bubblehem mini dresses: This trend is not going anywhere anytime soon, we're obsessed! These flattering styles are super fun and are different from most dresses you'll see at weddings.

Asymmetrical minis: Eye-catching angles that add another level to your wedding guest look. One-shoulder dresses are some of our best sellers for a reason, they're extremely flattering and are our go-to option for those more formal dress codes. Strapless mini dresses: A classic for a reason; so flattering and fun!

Floral Midis: The Perfect In-Between

Can't decide between short and long? The midi dress has entered the chat. Sophisticated, elevated and perfect for all-year-round, a floral midi dress might just be at the top of our list. From formal weddings to garden ceremonies, this style will tick all the boxes. We're loving midi slip dresses with delicate floral prints for some '90s nostalgia. Pair with some strappy heels and statement earrings for an effortless vintage-inspired look. The midi length is literally the best of both worlds – it's elegant enough for formal events but still cute and fun (plus you can show off your fave shoes - slay).

How to Choose the Right Floral Print For You

The type of floral print you choose will depend on the season, location and dress code of the wedding you're attending. Elegant floral dresses for wedding guests we love right now are digital floral, pastel tones (think baby pinks and yellows!), and burgundy floral prints. These options are so flattering and will effortlessly fit into your forever wardrobe.

When choosing your floral print, keep in mind the wedding's overall theme. For a beach wedding, opt for tropical prints with bold, bright colors. For a rustic wedding, choose more muted, romantic florals. 

Remember, confidence is key when wearing any outfit. Choose a floral print that makes you feel your best and suits your personal style. Whether you prefer a classic rose pattern or a more abstract, artistic floral design, there's a perfect dress waiting for you in our collection!
