THE LACE ALTERNATIVE
Lace has an everlasting connection to wedding dresses known for bringing prettiness and femininity to bridal style across the decades. Modern brides may find a full on lace dress not to their taste or even a little too ‘traditional bridal’, instead coveting something less classic but which will still offer the youthful feminine impression lace provides.
This is where artisanal appliqué and embroidery shine. All the beauty of lace is here yet the effect is more contemporary, considered and expressive - a bit more cool and fashion influenced. The detail is exquisite, highlighted even more by the sheer base upon which it sits - wear a tonal slip dress underneath for modesty - and the easy to wear shape works for all.
Dresses such as these are charming, elegant and a great investment for bridal and beyond, including romantic honeymoon dinners.
For formal affairs opt for heels whilst some delicately crafted flat sandals are ideal for low key vows and parties.
