Graduation Photo Inspo // White Dresses for Spring

It’s almost May, I cannot believe it! I actually graduated this past December but didn’t launch my blog until February so I never posted my graduation photos here. I decided to share them with with you for a little inspiration!

Even if you’re not graduating, I rounded up a bunch of white dresses that could be worn for a bridal shower or just as a pretty summer dress! I organized the dresses by store, covering the high quality ones to more inexpensive options.

I actually bought my graduation dress from Lilly Pulitzer several years ago and had been hoarding it this whole time, haha! I also have it in blue.

Lilly Pulitzer

I can always count on Lilly for a quality dress. Their dresses are on the pricier side but if you’re looking for a timeless dress for a special occasion, there isn’t a better place to look.

This would be a perfect dress for a soon to be bride!
