Good morning! We hope you had a lovely weekend – and that your Monday morning is a stress-free one so far?
Just in case, we're easing you into the week with utter, head-over-heels, prettiness.
You may remember last week, we swooned (and swooned) over metallic dresses. Unique, stylish, glamorous wedding gowns for a bride who's looking for something a little bit different.
Today we've got even more alternative wedding dresses for you to feast your peepers on, but this time they're beautiful, feminine and altogether romantic.
Yep, we're talking about fabulous floral gowns, and we can't think of anything dreamier!

But before you clap your eyes, (and Pin It buttons) on our favourite floral wedding dresses, here are our top tips on how to wear them well…
How to Wear a Floral Wedding Dress
– To keep your look bridal, stick to watercolour hues, so your flowers look as though they've been painted on by a great master!
– For added romance, opt for ballgown shapes. Full skirts and florals are just spectacular.
– For fuller figures, all-over florals might not be flattering, keep them to the end of your skirt, and choose bigger blooms for a more complementary look.
– Likewise, petite brides should opt for smaller prints so that large flowers don't overwhelm their figures.
– Amp up the prettiness of this look with soft upstyles, gorgeous curls, or sweet ballerina buns.
– Keep the rest of your look simple, too much jewellery, long veils, or ornate hair accessories are inclined to look fussy with a patterned dress.
– If you're wearing a floral dress, (or any alternative wedding dress) you might want to check in with your groom if you're not involved in his suit search – just in case he's wearing a patterned shirt or tie that could clash.
– Choose a single hue from your blooms, like a pale blue, or dusky pink for your bridesmaids dresses, while you can opt for mix and match styles, different colour dresses might look a little busy with your floral gown. Likewise, check the mothers of the bride and groom aren't wearing clashing florals either, in case they look odd beside yours in the family photos.
– While they may not be in your budget, look to designers like Elie Saab or Marchesa for ideas on gorgeous floral wedding dresses.
