Last Minute Easter Dress Ideas + Photo Shoot with " Lucky Arrow Photography" - look no. 4

We are just a few short days from Easter, can you believe it? Because I'm still in shock it's already April! I love everything about Easter, but finding the perfect Easter dress is something I find so stressful. I know I can't be alone when it comes to going crazy about finding that last minute dress. I wanted to share some ideas for making finding that perfect dress a little bit easier.  

There are SOOOO  many beautiful dresses available right now that would make the perfect piece to wear for the Holiday. But to narrow down the options I wanted to share some tips on what to keep and eye out for based on some fabulous trends this season. 

-- Maxi & Midi Dresses --

Easter is easily one of my absolute favorite holidays. From spending time with my family, to  celebrating faith, to getting all dolled up in a new Easter dress, and don't even get me started on those chocolate bunnies. The one thing we can never really plan for is what kind of weather we will have. In Ohio you could never really plan for a warm Easter because in April it's still pretty chilly with the chance of a possible warm afternoon. In Alabama you can pretty much bank on a warm Easter, but unfortunalty Cameron & I will be traveling up north. Which means plan for a slightly chilly Easter egg hunt. 
That's no problem though because going with a maxi or midi dress can really help for dressing for a chillier holiday up north or even for a warmer day in the South. Both these styles of dresses are perfect for April weather, plus if you can find a light weight maxi it makes it even easier to get around in. 

-- Patterns --

There is no better time to find a dress with fun patterns. Go with simple stripes or a fun floral pattern, you really can't go wrong. I'm a fan of anything with vertical stripes because they do give a more flattering look to my body, however I do have quite the floral pattern collection in my closet. I'm not bias on patterns, I just like to find fun pieces that are different than what I already have. 

-- Pastel Colors -- 

Wearing pastels for Easter is probably one of the most common trends every year. From lilac , to pale pink, to soft mint, and my personal favorite daffodil yellow. Everyone knows when Easter comes around, the pastel dresses hit every store. I'm 100% a pastel lover, I'm just so intrigued with the soft color pallet and the feminine look it gives off. I'm attracted to very feminine and girly pieces because that's what I like. However if your looking to step out of pastel trend I recommend keeping a little pop of color like a yellow or blue, just to keep that spring aesthetic. 

-- Little White Dresses -- 

There is nothing I love more than adding a little white dress to my wardrobe. With Spring in full swing and Summer right around the corner, white dress season has officially arrived. White dresses on Easter is such a classy way to go, if your heading to church or brunch finding a little white dress would be absolutely perfect.
