The variety of lace wedding dresses that waltzed down the fall runway was dazzling: refined, elegant, unexpected. And mercifully, a far cry from the ruffle necked monstrosities of our youth. So whether you desire a body conscious ball-gown or a whimsical romp through the woodland, don’t overlook the possibilities of lace.

This enchanting detail can add a lot to a simple dress, and if you’re feeling adventurous, we love the way a more daring silhouette instantly makes lace a modern classic.
