Nothing says romance like lace!

On your wedding day, consider wearing a gown made of this classically stunning fabric. Look for the finest laces, imported from France for your full length lace wedding gown.

Stylish in Lace

Lace gowns come in a wide variety of styles and cuts. Look for graceful empire cuts, classic A-line silhouettes, and lady-like detailing. Lace will enhance various parts of your gown – find drop waists and V-necks enhanced with delicate French Chantilly lace. Scalloped edging offers fine detail, and the fine lace material will add a sense of femininity and poise to your gown.

Lace Details

Gorgeous details are what lace is all about – consider adding a romantic, traditional lace veil or mantilla to your bridal ensemble. Often hand-crafted, you may find your dream headpiece to be made of Chantilly lace, Belgian lace, or French Alencon lace. Your headpiece may feature beautiful embroidery, or modern, customized edging. Lace can be hand appliquéd onto different parts of your veil or mantilla; or ask for rhinestones for a dazzling effect. This could be just the thing you have been looking for to make your wedding dress really stand out!

Trains come in many different lengths and can often be adjusted to match your dress. You may choose to feature lace only on your headpiece, or have it made to match the lace on your gown.

Vintage Lace

Consider adding a touch of elegance and old-world charm to your wedding gown by finding a unique vintage lace wedding dress! Shop around – there are lots of ways to find the perfect vintage gown! Look online, visit local antique and specialty shops, or even take a look through your grandmother’s closet – you never know what you might find!

Altering Lace

Do you have a lace gown that you need altered? Be sure that the person you are bringing it to has experience in the area – ask to see samples of her work for peace of mind. Many antique gowns feature amazing handiwork that is hard to match these days, and may have deteriorated over time. When purchasing an older gown, be sure to inspect it carefully before purchasing it, and making sure that any imperfections can be fixed.

Lacy Comfort

Lace can be combined with virtually any wedding dress to add a touch of timeless romance to your look. Generally, lace does not touch your body directly as it can be scratchy and uncomfortable – so choose a gown made of chiffon, silk, satin, organza, or tulle with a lacy overlay. This means that lace can work with a soft, flowing gown, or a more structured skirt, depending on your taste.

Lace Here and There

Lace can be added to other parts of your wedding as well, to create an all-over romantic theme! You can add bits of lace to your invitations and wedding programs, and use lace to add fine detail to your cake (consider wrap a lace-embellished ribbon around each layer). Lacy accents can be added to bouquets and table settings to add old-world charm to your special day.

Adding accents of lace to your gown or other parts of your wedding is a time-honored of adding a romantic flavor to your day. A lace wedding gown makes the perfect sort of family heirloom you’ll want to save for your children!
