Bohemian Prom Dresses

 

A huge trend in 2017 prom dresses is boho chic. These dresses have soft and natural feel to them. Boho prom dresses typically come in tulle, lace, and chiffon fabrics to give light and flowy look. Look for dresses in soft colours, such as pink, mint, or nude to finish off a truly bohemian feeling.

Florals

 

Florals are everywhere in 2017 prom dress trends! This year, there are many updated ways to wear florals as part of your prom look. Stand out in eye-catching floral lace or create added detail with 3D floral appliqués. Whatever way you choose to take the trend, keep in mind that it is meant to be bold!
