Floral prints are a timeless style, but they can be tricky to accessorize. Many people think that floral prints and jewelry don’t go together, but this isn’t necessarily true. You just need the right approach to make the two elements work in harmony. Let’s explore how you can make floral prints and jewelry look perfect together!
Matching Moods
The first way to accessorize when pairing florals with jewelry is to match the overall mood of your outfit.
If you’re wearing dark, moody florals then statement pieces and dark gems, or even a dark choker, could look great.
Similarly, if you want to create an ethereal vibe then delicate metal pieces or pearls can work really well with your dainty floral dress.
On the other hand, you can also go for contrast. Chunky silver chains look a bit punk and go well with either dark or light florals.

Experimenting with different textures like velvet or natural materials can also help to create an interesting contrast between your clothing and accessories.

Minimalism Always Looks Good
Remember that less is often more when it comes to accessorizing a floral dress. Too many statements could overwhelm the overall look of the outfit, and unless the pattern of your dress is really subtle, your safest choice is going with minimalist jewelry.
That does not mean you cannot have fun, though. There are plenty of gold jewelry - fine and costume - on the market that is great for stacking.
A stack of dainty gold rings and a couple of thin bangle bracelets looks great with any flower print.

Try not to overcomplicate things by trying too hard to match each color or stick with one particular theme; instead be brave and blend different materials together like gold mixed with silver or pearls mixed with crystals for an interesting contrast between elements.
Stacking multiple rings on one hand or layering necklaces around your neck can create an elegant yet understated effect that pairs perfectly with any type of floral print dress.
Choosing Accent
When it comes to choosing colors for your outfit, think about the minor colors of the print on your dress and find gems or metals in similar shades.
For instance, if the florals have mostly pink tones but also feature some red accents, then a bold red gemstone will stand out against the other colors in the dress print.
Alternatively, for more muted floral prints try opting for silver or white gold pieces that will give your look a subtle shimmer without overpowering your outfit.
