The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is the unofficial signal that Spring has arrived (the 2025 edition runs from March 5 to June 2) at Walt Disney World. Not only that, the Flower and Garden Festival is a dream for fashion lovers who want to blend style with the beauty of nature. 

With stunning floral displays, outdoor kitchens and vibrant character topiaries, this festival is the perfect backdrop for stylish outfits that embrace springtime aesthetics.

Top 10 Ideas for How to Style an Outfit for the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival

Whether you’re a Disneybounder, a casual park visitor, or a fashion-forward festival fan, here are 10 reasons why the Flower and Garden Festival is the ultimate EPCOT festival for fashion—with some outfit ideas to match!

With EPCOT overflowing in breathtaking flowers everywhere you look, this is the perfect time to embrace floral prints, embroidered details and pastel hues.

Style Tip: Opt for a breezy floral sundress or a linen button-up with floral embroidery. Pair with comfortable sneakers or sandals to stay stylish and comfy all day.

From colorful butterfly gardens to vibrant Disney topiaries, every corner of the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is a fashion photo-op just waiting to happen.

Style Tip: A flowy maxi skirt with a fitted tank top and a subtle Disney or garden-themed denim jacket makes for a stylish yet effortless look that really pops in photos.

Florida spring can be warm during the day and breezy at night, making lighter clothing layers a festival essential.

Style Tip: A lightweight jacket, cardigan or kimono over a graphic tee (subtly Disney-inspired, of course) will keep you comfortable from morning to evening.

Don’t forget to accessorize. Flower crowns, leaf-shaped earrings and nature-inspired accessories will all blend perfectly with the festival’s theme.

Style Tip: Try a floral headband or Disney festival ears, or even a straw hat paired with a relaxed Disney tee and shorts for a chic, nature-inspired vibe.

The Flower and Garden Festival’s Butterfly Garden is a magical place that makes butterfly-inspired fashion feel right at home.

Style Tip: A pastel-colored flowy blouse paired with butterfly-shaped earrings or embroidered denim adds a subtle nod to this whimsical theme.

Each year, the festival releases limited-edition apparel featuring characters like the Florida Orange Bird and Figment—perfect for styling a full festival fit. So if you want to wait until you’re onsite to complete your outfit, this is the way to go.

Style Tip: Pair an Orange Bird festival tee with a breezy skater skirt and white sneakers for a playful yet stylish look.

Soft, dreamy colors dominate the festival, making it the ideal time to wear pastel shades that complement the scenery.

Style Tip: Lavender, mint, baby pink and sky blue look stunning in photos. A pastel Disney crewneck t-shirt with biker shorts and chunky sneakers is the perfect comfy-chic combo that will look great in photos and videos.

From honey-themed food booths to whimsical gardens, this festival is a dream for cottagecore fashion lovers.

Style Tip: A gingham dress, lace-trimmed socks and a cozy cardigan with subtle Disney embroidery create the ultimate cottagecore Disney look.

Unlike other EPCOT festivals that lean into rich or dark tones, the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is all about playfulness and lighthearted themes.

Style Tip: Embrace fun prints, detailed graphics and quirky Disney accessories—like a daisy-shaped bag or floral Mickey ears.

 

With the Florida sun shining bright, the Flower and Garden Festival is the ideal event to show off stylish headwear—whether it’s a wide-brimmed sunhat, a bucket hat, or a cute pair of floral Minnie ears. Hats not only add personality to your outfit, but also provide essential sun protection while you explore.

Style Tip: Opt for a neutral or pastel-toned hat that complements your outfit rather than overpowers it. Pair it with a breezy button-down shirt or a lightweight Disney-inspired tee for a relaxed, chic vibe.
