The Appeal of Floral Accessories

floral

The last few weeks of August are upon us and natures is in full bloom. Β Flowers are large, bright, and overflowing. Β The grass is full and green. Β And every tree is leafed out in all its glory. Β With sights such as these, it is easy to see how a person would want to carry a little bit of nature around with them. Β And what better place than on one’s clothing!

Today’s post is all about the use of floral details which designers have been using to brighten up dresses for decades. Β Whether placed at the neckline, the waist, or along the hem of a skirt, these lovely replicas of nature’s beauty certainly are worthy of admiration!

Here are a few of my favorites!

These two lovely 1850’s ball gowns have some lovely floral accents!
