Designers & Brides Love Lace!

With simple elegance being the style of choice in recent years, lace hasn’t been appearing on the wedding scene as often as it used to. The elaborately decorated, beaded and appliqued gowns of the late 80’s and early 90’s were replaced by clean lines and delicate embroidery.

But this year, more and more designers are bringing lace back into the limelight. Popular designers like Monique L’Huiller, Melissa Sweet and Dreams By Renee are unveiling collections with stunning lace and lace accented wedding gowns. Today’s popular lace styles include all-lace gowns, lace jackets, lace bodices and more.

The most common laces found on wedding dresses today are re-embroidered floral designs such as alencon or chantilly lace. These laces offer a beautiful feminine feel, without becoming too busy. This allows designers to incorporate intricate lace work into their designs without losing that elegant and sophisticated look that today’s brides love so much.

Should you choose a lace style wedding gown, we highly recommend finding a professional cleaning and preservation company to care for the gown after your wedding. Lace is generally very delicate, and most solvents used for dry cleaning will be too harsh for your gown’s delicate fabrics. A professional cleaner who specializes in wedding gowns will know how to best care for your lace wedding gown without damaging the fabric.
