Garden parties are the perfect blend of sophistication and whimsy, calling for outfits that feel fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully styled. Whether you're attending a bridal shower, outdoor brunch, summer soirée, or a daytime wedding, choosing the right garden party attire means embracing florals, breezy fabrics, and pops of color. Here's how to dress the part - and turn heads for all the right reasons.

Think in Florals and Soft Prints 🌸

When it comes to garden party attire, floral dresses are a go-to choice. From subtle blooms to bold botanicals, they instantly evoke the beauty of the setting. Midi and mini lengths are both appropriate, depending on the formality of the event.

• The Carmella White Cherry Print Midi Dress is sweet and playful with its charming cherry motif and crisp white backdrop. Pair it with nude sandals and a straw bag for a polished daytime look.

• The Natalia Blue Multi Floral Halter Midi Dress offers a more refined take on garden florals, ideal for events that call for slightly dressier attire. Style it with heeled sandals, gold earrings, and then add a clutch for an effortlessly elegant ensemble.

Embrace Color in your Garden Party Attire 🌈

Garden parties are the perfect excuse to embrace color. From soft pastels to bold brights, let the setting inspire your palette.

• The Tori Red-Orange Tiered Halter Midi Dress makes a striking statement with its sunset-inspired hue and flowy silhouette. Keep accessories neutral - think ivory heels or woven slides - to let the color stand out.

• The Kiarra Yellow Floral Pleated Mini Dress is cheerful and flirty, perfect for daytime events. Add white platform sandals and a dainty crossbody bag for a fresh, fun finish.

Feminine Details Make the Look 💃

Look for dresses with ruffles, tiers, halter necklines, and asymmetrical hems to add interest and movement to your outfit.

• The Amira Blue Floral Asymmetric Ruffle Midi Dress checks all the boxes with its cascading ruffles and unique silhouette. Dress it up with silver jewelry and then add strappy heels for a more formal garden event.
