Lace is one of the true staples of bridal fashion, loved by brides and designers alike. Season after season, it continues to be reimagined in fresh and inspiring ways. Some gowns use lace almost like a veil over the body, creating a soft, semi-transparent, ethereal effect. Others play with layering and texture, giving lace an unexpected edge.
Lace doesn’t have to stand alone, either. When paired with other fabrics, it adds a romantic, feminine touch while maintaining its timeless appeal. Take a look at the lace wedding dresses we’ve gathered and discover the beauty of this fabric — and just how modern it can feel.
