April Showers Bring May Flowers as May is the first warm month of the Summer season in the Northeast. Everyone starts feeling better with warmer temperatures, the grass greener, and flowers blooming.
April Showers Bring May Flowers
With April being known as a rainy and soggy month in most of the United States consequently the flowers start blooming. The rain doesn’t really cause the flowers to bloom – it is due to the warmer temperatures. As flowers start to blossom – it is time to start thinking about Summer fashion styles.
Flowers to wear
Flowers are timeless in fashion styles (see my English Rose Print post). Rose quartz reflects the tones popular in many floral arrangements and this has translated well into spring and summer fashion styles. Old fashioned flowers are becoming “new” fashionable favorites. Pantone’s 2016 colors (see my Pantone 2016 color post) have had a big influence on flower patterns being shown. Fresh looking florals are the perfect start to usher in the Summer season. The dress featured below is the perfect dress to wear for a garden party or event. Of course, I love the V-neck with the big red roses.
The Vintage halter dress below is a gorgeous floral dress with adjustable halter straps and a full swing skirt. In addition, this style is perfect for warm summer nights and on a cooler evening, pair it with a cardigan.
We are seeing flower patterns in fashion styles and home décor and home accessories. When setting the table, there is something special about adding a floral centerpiece. Flowers that we use like carnations, roses, and lilies are finding new color combinations in today’s top floral designer arrangements.
The month of May, in particular, is known to be the height of flowers.
