White dresses seem to always make it into the big moments of our lives. If you’re a graduating senior, or graduating from college, then you may be on the hunt for your white graduation dress! Once you’ve found the perfect dress, be sure to plan your grad photo session with Elaine Gates Photography to have graduation memories for a lifetime! Here are some tips for your search based on your style and links to check out. 

 

Simple Dress

 

If you’re a minimalist or “less is more” type of girl, then you’ll love these styles! Simple pieces are timeless and you’ll definitely get more than one wear out of these picks. Not to mention, these styles will look great paired with that cap and gown!

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!
