LACE GLOVES
In more recent times gloves have not been the most popular choice as a bridal accessory having taken a back seat whilst fashion trends changed over the past decade or so. However they can complete a wedding outfit in the most beautiful way providing a quiet nod to femininity and bridal tradition. Cool girls and fashion savvy brides are once again selecting gloves as the finishing touch to their bridal outfits adding some sophistication and sense of occasion.
Elbow length or opera style work perfectly with formal gown style dresses whilst wrist or short length are better worn for more relaxed affairs where outfits tend towards a more informal style. Silk or satin are a favourite bridal choice but there is something especially alluring in the delicate, intricate beauty of lace.
Lace gloves look best when teamed with a minimal style - no fighting against frills or elaborate silhouettes with lots of detail. Perfect with a sharp trouser suit or shift dress they bring a softening prettiness and timeless elegance to even the most masculine or stark silhouettes. .
Buy the best you can afford for a refined and charming accent to your ceremony style.
