Lace has been a popular detail in bridal fashion throughout time, ebbing and flowing in popularity. In Europe specifically, wearing lace was a symbol of wealth and sophistication, as the fabric boasted intricate craftsmanship and a high cost to produce. Brides who wore lace at their weddings used it as a status symbol, showing off their more formal and elegant nuptials.
Lace became more accessible in the 19th century during the Victorian Era, and when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert wearing an ivory lace gown, this cemented lace [and traditional ivory] as popular for future brides’ dresses.
In addition to its historical significance, lace, white or ivory lace in particular, represents purity, innocence and the sacred nature of marriage. Its delicate nature and intricate details also convey a sense of refinement and beauty, making it an ideal choice for wedding attire. Lace garments are also often passed down through generations as heirloom pieces, carrying sentimental value and connecting with the bride’s family traditions. For many brides, wearing lace is not only a fashion choice but a way to connect with their family.
Along with these historical + heirloom aspects, lace is also a gorgeous aesthetic that goes with a variety of wedding venues and themes. Its romantic, timeless quality + variety of patterns lends to versatility and ability to customize, making it easy to incorporate lace into your wedding day.
