Floral details are making bold, and sometimes colorful, statements on wedding gowns
Flowers aren’t just for bouquets and white lace anymore. Over the last several years, blooms have been popping up on designer wedding dresses like a wildflower meadow in late spring. From whisper-soft pastel petals to bright pops of pink, blue or green…3D appliques to breathtaking floral embroidery: this is flower power in the best way.
“We are seeing floral-inspired bridal styles quickly gaining in popularity,” says Brooke Thurman of Milk & Honey Bride in Virginia Beach. “These sought-after embellishments can complement wedding themes from rustic to garden party, and the versatility allows brides to express their individuality while staying true to the natural beauty of their wedding day.”
The gowns featured here are all from Lea-Ann Belter Bridal, among the designers available to brides at Milk & Honey (prices available upon request). Look for more beautiful bridal styles from Milk & Honey at the Coastal Virginia Weddings Showcase event at Founders Inn & Spa.
