18 Floral Dress Ideas

1. Garden Party

The first look from these floral dress outfits features a super-soft style with a keyhole accent. I am loving these huge flowers done in a watercolor paint look. The blues and purples contrast with the pinks in a beautiful way. The stones on the chunky bangle bracelet speaks to those colors, while the clutch ties into the pink. Black heels keep the look neutral against the flowers that really pop.

2. Petal Power

Second in floral dress ideas is a cold-shoulder number. The stone on the gold y-necklace incorporates the shades of blue and pink from the flowers. With all of that going on, I like a basic black leather handbag and heels. I really like how the leather texture pairs with the cotton of the dress to finalize the look.

3. A Vibrant Arrangement

Third is one of my favorite from these floral dress outfit ideas! You will never never find another quite as unique as this dress with the neon flowers. I enjoy playing this one up with bright eyeshadow. Again, the solid black bag and shoes control the look. This design is too busy for a long necklace, so a shorter pick is superb.

4. Dreams of Velvet

Fourth in flower dress outfit ideas is a long sleeve velvet option that is great for the fall or winter. The tights are totally optional here. The choker with onyx stones really solidifies the entire look. Black booties are a must, and really any handbag will do here, even a statement option.

5. Petal Pusher

Fifth in this floral dress outfits look book is another great fall or winter pick, with optional tights. How pretty are those salmon pink and yellow gold flowers against the black background, with the criss-cross back detail?! The yellow gold stone choker matches those flowers so well. A black handbag with gold accents works with the choker, and you cannot go wrong with black heeled booties.

6. Poppy-lar

Next is a fabulous option in terms of floral dress work outfits! The color of this dress is so unusual, something between sage and mint. The subtle flared hem of the sleeves and tie-front detail add extra interest. How the red and golden hues of the flowers contrasts over the green is something else. I am using the necklace and handbag to really pull the red shades out of the flowers. A neutral shoe is best with all of the colors going on.

7. A Burgundy Moment

Here is a comfy burgundy look that has a bit of a fit and flair going on. I am always talking about how well burgundy pairs with cognac, hence the boots and clutch. There is no other answer for the necklace besides I like how it looks with the dress.

8. Wake Up and Smell the Flowers

Pressing on is a lovely (and vibrant) off-the-shoulder look. Neutral hues balance out this shade of blue, but they also coordinate with the flower pattern, thus the handbag and shoe choice. This neckline does allow for a necklace, but I cannot skip an opportunity to pair those matching earrings here, since I made them myself.

9. Happy Hibiscus

I am a huge fan of this dress because it is so unusual, and definitely not overdone. This dress mixes a Hawaiian hibiscus moment with animal print! Plus, the o-ring detail is to die for, and all of the colors are a different mixture entirely. My handbag choice is one of the colors in the leaves on the dress. Why not go for wicker heels here? Simple jewelry is all that you need with this busy look, so I am going with hammered earrings.

10. Bougie Bouquet

Next in these floral dress outfits is a darker style with attitude. This surplice wrap dress is done more like a romper, and I like to wear thigh high boots to balance out the hem of the dress. A thick, black choker hits on those heavy black lines around the floral design. A neutral handbag breaks up the dark hues.

11. Peasant Appeal

Here is one of my older looks, one I recall creating in my mind right off the Delias website back in the day. What is not to love about this high low dress and all of the details that it presents? Most notably, the blue and green flowers are super pretty. I waited years to find something that pairs with the earrings and bracelet, and let me tell you, every piece has its moment eventually – they match perfect! I am throwing in a tattoo choker because it fits my personal style. But, instead of going all black, I finish with cognac booties and handbag to show how they work with blue and green.

12. Boho Dreamland

Continuing on is another of my favorite looks, and it would have been my Easter 2021 outfit if it was not ruined by the state of events. There is something about all of the colors in this maxi romper dress that gets me excited! It is totally fashion blogger approved, and to exemplify that, I need a hat. All of my accents are neutral because the dress is so busy. A simple daisy necklace looks so nice with this dress, I could shout it from the rooftops. The heels match the bag, of course.

13. Pink Posies

Next is a good example of floral dress casual outfits! You can easily wear this peasant pick with sneakers or heels. I want you to pay attention to how I play with the tiny flowers on the dress. My evening bag has a small metal flower on the clasp. This necklace is very unique because it features earrings and a ring that can be removed and worn, plus charms that remain on the hoop. The earrings are tiny flowers that match the dress incredibly well. Finally, the black booties have a slight country vibe that somehow work with the peasant style.

14. Coordination Always Matters

Here is another old look. This dress is super comfy, and I got lucky in that it matches the handbag, even though they are different brands from different stores! My necklace choice works with the pink in the flowers. The cardigan is optional, but it is perfect for transitional weather. You can do any shoe that you want. Flats here are fine, as many of these outfits feature heels.

15. Meet Me at the Florist Shop

Next in these floral dress outfits is what I wore to my college graduation, under my cap and gown so no one actually saw the look. This dress has a lot of amazing details to absorb, like an asymmetrical hem, open back, and a lace bodice. I needed a handbag that I could easily wear under my gown to access necessities, like my glasses, which is 100% why I chose this bag. A choker necklace was my main way to get my jewelry to be seen, but flowers keep the theme going. Finally, I needed shoes that I could walk in all day, but they do match well.

16. Soaking Up the Sun

For whatever reason, I do not own a lot of yellow, so this dress brings a lot of light to my life! I like how they accented the center of the flowers with black, which led me to pair this dress with a wicker bag. I feel this bag is an unexpected match up, in a good way! Simple yellow hoops are all that you need here. Like I always say, strappy shoes add interest.

17. Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Here is an outfit that I wore to a good friend of mine’s wedding! It is a great example of looking expensive for less, and I talk more about this with my black tie wedding look. Since the dress is a bit long for me, wedge heels help to make it wearable. The earrings, featuring roses, match the dress perfectly. A round handbag freshens up the entire style, while keeping all of the accents gold.

18. The Vase is Half Full

The final look from these floral dress outfits is more of a romper style dress, and this would have been my Easter 2020 look. Since it is so open with the tie-front, I prefer to style it with a lace bralette. The pink of the handbag works with the flowers nicely. Even the multi-colored glass stones in the jewelry somehow work with the flowers. A hat is optional, but recommended. Easter often ends up being chillier, so long sleeves, and a peep-toe bootie sandal are prime picks.
