In the middle of September, the Buzz team spent three days at Britain’s biggest bridal trade exhibition in Harrogate and loved to soak up the buzzing (couldn’t resist!) atmosphere as all the world’s top designers presented their new dress collections to the boutiques who stocked them.

The trends we discovered for 2024 have been well documented in this feature here, but the biggest trend of all – and the one we can’t stop thinking about – is floral wedding dresses. Actually, not just dresses – accessories, shoes, veils – the tiniest details to the biggest decorative 3D embellishment – laser cut flowers from shoulders to toes… Bold prints and the edging of veils, too.

Even though you’re almost certainly incorporating this classic wedding element into your décor on the big day (what’s a bride without a bouquet?), we love to see brides incorporate florals in other areas of their on-the-day theme, too.

Nothing says romance quite like flowers, right? Yes, not only can you carry flowers on the big day, but you can wear them, too! One of the great things about ‘floral’ as an aesthetic is that it never dates. Big and bold or tiny and intricate, flowers will always be in vogue. With that in mind, we pick our favourite floral wedding dresses of the season, giving you the opportunity to bring some real flower power to your big day…
