Wedding Dresses Inspired by Flowers

Before there's a flower, there's a tiny seed. Then there's a delicate shoot, nudging through the soil. And then suddenly, almost all at once, vibrant, flourishing, colorful life. The love you share is like a garden that way—all promise and gorgeous imagination fodder. In turn, we gathered the flower-embellished gowns on here to celebrate that spirit. Slip into one, and get ready to bloom.

In the following slides, expect to see an array of dreamy, whimsical, and totally unique floral-inspired wedding dresses that would make any bride blush with joy. There's a style in all of our favorite silhouettes, from A-line to sheath to mermaid, and in all of the best fabrics, too (think: lace, silk, and tulle). Whether you want color (pink, purple, or blue, anyone?), a fashionable neckline (strapless, perhaps?) or something else equally as ethereal, you're in the right place.

Ahead, find top bridal designers—including Carolina Herrera (pictured here) and Lela Rose—and some of their most groundbreaking floral gowns yet. We've even styled them with accompanying jewelry and given our models bridal beauty looks to help you can fantasize about your complete big-day getup. Wondering when to wear these stunners? We're especially in love with them for spring. But we could really see them at any fête, so long as it's as modern and romantic as the dresses themselves.
