One of the stand out fashion trends for prom is the floral dress. Floral dresses for prom range from floral ball gowns to long, flowing floral prints. One of my favorite floral gowns is the bluch watercolor floral prom dress by Alexia which can be found online at the site, www.frenchnovelty.com. This gorgeous dress for prom is available in three different colors; geranium, lavender and bluebell. The full chiffon skirt and watercolor floral print makes this dress a gorgeous feminine choice for prom.
If you have decided to wear a floral dress to your prom, your next step is to find the right accessories to wear with it. A floral prom dress can be a bold look so you may want to pair down your accessories so that your prom look is not too busy. Here are my tips on how to look absolutely fabulous in your floral prom gown.
Tip Number One – Keep your hair simple
If you have long hair, wear it either in long waves or in a loose pony tail. If you are wearing a simple floral gown like the watercolor floral mentioned above, you may want to wear a flower that matches the ones on the dress, in your hair. I love a ponytail worn with a long pleated floral dress.
Tip Number Two – Chandelier Earrings
Chandelier earrings are a big trend for Spring. They look terrific with a floral dress. One of my favorites is the Marquis Crystal Chandelier Earrings by Juicy Couture. These chandelier earrings are available for $68 at Nordstroms.
Tip Number Three – Wear a Cuff Bracelet
Cuff bracelets are another popular jewelery trend. I would skip wearing a necklace with a floral dress, or wear just a simple chain and instead search for a gorgeous cuff bracelet. One that I really like, especially to wear with a floral dress, is the Nordstom’s Shell Cuff Bracelet. This bracelet is available at Nordstroms for $58. It has a mother-of-pearl oval setting in wiry gold plated cuff. In the past several years we have seen more silver worn for prom than gold, but I prefer the look of gold jewelery with most floral prom dresses.
Tip Number Four – Strappy Metallic Sandals
Metallic sandals look great with a floral dress. There are many different styles available to choose from. Again, I love the look of bronze or gold tone sandals with floral prom dresses.
Tip Number Five – Carry a solid color Pashmina
Prom usually falls in April or May which means that in most areas of the country the weather in the evening could be a little chilly. A pashmina worn lightly over your shoulders is a fashionable way to stay warm and it looks much better than wearing your date’s jacket.
There are many gorgeous floral dresses available for the prom season. These accessory tips will help make the most of this fresh fun fashion trend.
