If we could turn window shopping for floral bridesmaid dresses into a full-time career, we’d have done that like yesterday…. oh, wait! We already did! It’s pretty impossible to compete with the magic of mismatched floral prints these days, especially when each is reflective of the very person that wears it! Modern couples giving briefs to their bridal party that err on the side of vague (a “wear what you feel best in” kind of attitude) has arguably been one of the most wonderful wedding trends to develop over the years. Individuality has been such a well-received approach to bridesmaid fashion that we are seeing a bit more permanence on the horizon. So brides, bridesmaids and lovers of beauty rejoice!
