Trendy Dress
It’s not every day that you graduate, so you might as well do it big! If you’re a trendsetter, then these styles are for you. This spring, the most-wanted styles have included ruching, ruffles, ties, and square necks lines. Also, trendy dresses deserve statement photo backdrops. When you plan your graduation pictures, choose a downtown scene to fit the theme!

Pattern Dress
Is plain white not usually your thing? Find a dress with a pattern or design. You could even choose a dress with a nude underlay for more definition. Florals and lace always spice up a white dress and are perfect for spring! I also think a patterned, white dress compliments a cap and gown in the best way!
