    Floral motifs have taken a lot of heat. They're often dismissed as predictable, especially for spring, when in fact they can be multi-faceted. There are the moody romantic florals, the cute dainty varieties, the exotic tropical versions, and the whimsical abstract styles. The blooms that have walked runways in recent spring runways are familiar, but fresh. We want to make arrangements to wear all sorts of them.

    Sure, the excitement for Laura Ingalls Wilder-inspired prairie dresses has cooled off a bit, but plenty of alternative silhouettes have emerged. Try out shorter floral dresses for night or a grand puff sleeve for special occasions. Trust us, when the temperature breaks 70, you'll want more than one floral dress to slip into. Ahead, shop 10 flower adorned dresses that will become the MVP of your blooming summer wardrobe.
