What better way to welcome spring than with a flower arranging party?
Over the weekend, Hilary Duff hosted one with her friends, and the occasion presented the perfect opportunity to wear a seasonal staple: a floral maxi dress. In fact, a few of Duff's guests also wore flowy botanical numbers, but the How I Met Your Father star's dress was particularly ethereal thanks to its white silk material and dainty pink petaled pattern.
Floral dresses always return as a trend this time of year (see: Blake Lively stepping out in a flowery midi last month), and for good reason. As we all know, wedding season is near, and a silk or satin maxi like Duff's is an ideal wedding guest uniform. They're lightweight and breezy, and the slick fabric minimizes sweat on the dance floor. They're also easy and space-saving to pack for destination ceremonies. Best of all, they require minimal effort but deliver maximal style.
The catch is, Duff's particular dress is $695 from Love Shack Fancy, but thankfully, we found a few other options that are more affordable and just as fashionable.

Then there's this Lulus white floral full-length maxi, which one reviewer said is "so beautiful for a beach wedding." It's under $100 and features a high slit with a full skirt for a balance of sultriness and sophistication.
The satin material comes together in a comfortable V-shaped neckline, and the spaghetti straps cross in the back and attach at a fitted waist. Of all its features, though, the gown's bold, large floral print is what really sets it apart.
