Vintage, bohemian, traditional, glamorous… There’s a lace gown for every type of bride at TDR Bridal!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Your first thoughts of a lace bridal gown might” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Your first thoughts of a lace bridal gown might be of an old-fashioned frilly number that you would only wear down the aisle in your worst wedding nightmares. But you couldn’t be more wrong – and trust us, we’re in the know! There are so many different ways that lace can be incorporated into your aisle style, explore some ideas with us…

The epitome of romance! A lace wedding dress has always been and will always be a bridal fashion staple. While other trends come and go, lace remains strong. It continues to be a front-runner as we head into peak wedding season and there are many reasons why.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/A-lace-wedding-dress.jpg” alt=”A lace wedding dress” title_text=”A lace wedding dress” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”For a start, there are so many different types” sticky_enabled=”0″]

For a start, there are so many different types of lace, from fine Chantilly lace and textured Alencon lace to heavier crotchet lace (like ‘Finley 20SC648’ by Sottero and Midgley). Some lace fabrics have an ethereal, romantic look, while others have a more bohemian aesthetic. The type of lace used in a design will hugely change the overall look of the dress, resulting in endless lace options.

The way lace is used in a dress design makes all the difference, too. Two dresses could be made using the same lace, but each dress could look entirely different. The amount of lace and where it’s positioned is as important as the type of lace used. You could opt for a head-to-toe-lace, like the ‘Grazia 1088’ gown by Morilee, or something more subtle like ‘Dina 2404’ by Morilee which features a more delicate over layer of lace over tulle. Both dresses could be described as lacey, but they are nothing alike and will appeal to different brides.

Then there are embellishments, appliqués, embroideries and added lace details. Take ‘Lea by Etoile’ an A-line gown featuring sparkling floral and Chantilly lace on the illusion lace bodice with a drop waist for a dramatic effect on the dreamy skirt, or you might be drawn to a ball-gown like ‘Patience by Enzoani’ with those captivating 3D floral motifs adorning the bodice which cascade down to the airy but voluminous skirt.

Want to switch up your bridal look as day turns into night? Another way to incorporate lace into your dress is with a lace over-skirt. Walk down the aisle in a romantic, full lace skirt and later remove it to reveal a satin fit-and-flare number like style ‘66223’ by Lillian West. Or you could change your style with a lace bolero or jacket. The addition of which could give your gown a different neckline, sleeves or simply a layer of lace to an otherwise plain style.

Lace is a beautiful choice year-round. In the spring, delicate lace embellishments with a clear floral pattern will echo the blossoming flowers. A light and airy lace dress will keep you cool during the summer. Autumn lends itself to a boho style lace gown. And in the colder months a feminine long lace sleeve gives you a little more coverage, while adding to your winter wedding look.

You might think that ‘beach wedding’ is the theme of your wedding, but there are so many different types of beach weddings and, therefore, so many beach wedding dress ideas too! You could plan an elegant day, set just off the seaside, in a grand venue. Or you might be hoping to say ‘I do’ with your toes in the sand. Here at TDR, we have a style perfect for every beach bride…

Boho chic

Boho brides will fall for the dress ‘66258’ by Lillian West. Delicate Chantilly lace and an off-the-shoulder neckline make this style hard to beat for a bohemian beach wedding. A scalloped lace train completes the dress, echoing the natural shapes left in the sand by the waves. Pair the gown with a pampas grass bouquet and boho bling.

Keep it short

Fun and sexy, short wedding dresses come into their own for destination and seaside weddings. Keep the dress’ hemline away from the sand by opting for a short dress like ‘2708’ by House of Nicholas. The T-length gown features a circular skirt and lightly embellished appliqué that will twinkle in the sunlight as you make your way down the aisle. If you always envisioned yourself wearing a lace wedding dress, ‘Ellie 88255’ by Justin Alexander is a beautiful choice for beach brides. With a high-to-low hem, show off jewelled sandals as you step down the sandy aisle.

Sleek silhouette

Show off your figure in ‘Katie’ by Sassi Holford, a gown that was designed to enhance the female silhouette. Featuring a column skirt that gently flows into a flared train, this dress holds you in all the right places. It is simple elegance at its finest and a gorgeous choice for destination brides.

Barefoot bliss

Walk down the sand-covered aisle barefoot, with ankle and toe jewellery adoring your feet, and truly embrace your beach wedding. Choose a gown with a sexy split, like style 23-JO3 by Jolie Bridal to show off your foot jewellery, reveal tanned limbs and keep you cool on the big day.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Barefoot-bliss.jpg” alt=”Barefoot bliss” title_text=”Barefoot bliss” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Laid-back elegance” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Laid-back elegance

For a no-frills beach ceremony, you might choose a simple wedding dress that feels a little more casual and relaxed. Featuring a bikini neckline made from stretch crepe, the A-line gown ’Erin 88263’ by Justin Alexander is simply stunning for a seaside wedding. The delicate spaghetti straps show off a golden tan, while the loose A-line fit will keep you cool.

Bridal jumpsuit

Make an impact with your aisle style by opting to wear a bridal jumpsuit. ‘Parker 18679’ by Ronald Joyce boasts a wide-leg trouser with an embroidered bodice and a detachable train. The detachable, lace train creates an A-line silhouette and allows you to change your look from ceremony to reception.

Fabulously formal

If you want to opt for a fuller skirt, airy tulle and chiffon will keep you cool at your destination wedding. ‘Elsbeth’ by Josephine Scott has an inner corset, giving you a gorgeous silhouette, wrapped in dreamy layers of tulle that will move beautifully in the gentle sea breeze.
