01 / Rent a cute Flower Dress
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. Seriously though, the classic floral print is always a joyful item to wear for Easter. If you don’t want to buy something and just have something new for this weekend then renting is a great way to go! We made an article on our favourite rental platforms here. The featured dress is an Erdem dress from the UK rental site Hurr, they have a wonderful selection of floral dresses.
