3D Floral Accents
Xavier by Sottero and Midgley
3D floral accents have been a popular trend in wedding dresses for several years now, and they continue to be a prominent feature in our collections for 2024. Not only do these three-dimensional features add a romantic and whimsical touch to wedding dresses, but they also create a unique and eye-catching look that is both modern and timeless.
Why has 3D florals remained so popular? We think it’s because of their versatility. These embellishments can be incorporated into a variety of different styles, from classic ball gowns to modern sheaths. Additionally, they can also be made with a variety of materials, such as lace, tulle, or chiffon. From oversized statements to dainty accents with soft shimmer, different sizes can be arranged in a variety of patterns to create a one-of-a-kind look.
Another reason for the popularity of 3D floral wedding dresses is that they add texture and depth to the overall design. The use of flowers that stand out from the surface of the dress creates a sense of dimension and movement, giving the dress a unique and dynamic aesthetic.
Some New Faves
3D floral wedding dresses are a beautiful and romantic trend that adds a touch of whimsy and uniqueness to wedding dress designs. Here are a few new favorites!

Simple, Yet Chic
Before we move onto something TOTALLY unconventional, let’s talk classic styles. Chic and simple wedding dresses will never go out of style, but they’ve certainly made a comeback in recent seasons.
