The series, titled 'Flowergirls,' features elegant watercolor illustrations of girls but with realistic dresses. The “Flower girls” dresses are romantic-looking dresses made up entirely of [real flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preserved-roses). The artist used the heads of roses to create short bubble dresses, the petals of orchids to create tutus and an array of flowers to design elaborate gowns and wedding dresses. The illustrations are captivating and they make you wish that the dresses in them came in your size. The artist is now known for her works that infuse everyday objects and has now founded the “#instaartmovement” project on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) that encourages others to do the same. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3D Botanical Art:** An opportunity for artists to explore the realm of three-dimensional art using botanicals. - **Real-life Object Art:** An opportunity for artists to infuse real-life objects into their art style for a unique touch. - **Interactive Art Experiences:** An opportunity to create immersive and interactive art experiences using sensory elements such as scent and touch. ### Where This Applies - **Floral Industry:** An opportunity for floral designers to create unique floral arrangements and displays. - **Fashion Industry:** An opportunity for fashion designers to explore the use of botanicals in garments and accessories. - **Art Industry:** An opportunity for artists to merge different art techniques to create unique and eye-catching pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Nature-Inspired Artful Garden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-art-garden.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Stone Floral Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom.md) - [AI-Developed 3D-Printed Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/differential-growth.md) - [Preserved Flower Keepsakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-preservation.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Dynamic Vibrant Cake Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulgari-hotel.md)
