Accessories For Lace Wedding Gowns

Is there anything more romantic than a lace wedding gown? Lace is one of the most cherished bridal fabrics of all, and whether your gown is embellished with small lace appliques or completely covered in it, it is sure to be exquisite. Lace gowns can be worn for many different types of weddings, and the right accessories will help to create the effect that you desire. These are some suggestions on the best bridal accessories for lace wedding gowns.

The most traditional lace gowns either have a 1950s ballgown flair or an antique Victorian flavor. The Victorian vintage inspired lace wedding dresses often have beautifully shaped necklines, either long or short sleeves (but never strapless), and may have a softly falling skirt with a sweep train. Wearing your hear in a soft and classic updo will complement the style of the gown and help to show off its special neckline. A very pretty veil length for this type of lace gown is one which falls to mid calf length. Choose one which is trimmed in either a very fine pencil edge border or which has a delicate lace applique on just the lower portion of the gown (not by the face). The veil should fall fairly straight; do not go with a poufy veil for a Victorian inspired dress. A substantial pair of pearl teardrop earrings will finish off the effect beautifully.

On the other hand, if you have a lace wedding gown with a 1950s shape, a fuller veil will look great. These gowns may be created entirely from lace, or have lace appliques on the hem and bodice which embellish a gorgeous silk organza or taffeta. When wearing a bridal gown with a fuller skirt, a bit more fullness in the veil is ideal for balance. A waist length double tier veil with a silk ribbon trim is lovely for a fun and flirty bride. For a formal wedding, opt for a veil which is longer than the train of the gown and trimmed in a wide border of the matching lace all the way around. Sometimes called a mantilla, this is a truly stunning veil which will make a statement.

Lace bridal gowns are not always so demure. A slinky gown made of a lightweight lace like Chantilly can love your curves. The weight and classic grace of lace prevent a clingy gown from appearing too sexy for a wedding. When the gown has a very slim silhouette, a very, very long veil is actually a fantastic match. A long plain veil flowing behind a slender lace gown is truly breathtaking.

Pearls and lace always go together. In fact, many bridal gowns will have pearl beading on the lace for more elegance. When wearing a strapless lace gown, especially one with a 50s influence, a strand of pearls is ideal. Either choose a traditional full strand of pearls, or wear a pearl tin cup necklace for a lighter look. Demure brides can accent a tin cup necklace with a classic pair of pearl studs, or select a more trendy pair of earrings such as pearl drop stilettos. Either way, the bridal jewelry will enhance the beauty of a lace wedding gown, creating an absolutely lovely vision for your wedding day.

The Perfect Undergarments For Strapless Wedding Gowns

Strapless gowns remain the most popular style for brides, and to ensure that your gown looks absolutely perfect, it is key to find the perfect undergarments. Different types of wedding dresses will do best with different types of foundation garments. This is your guide to help you find the perfect undergarments for your strapless wedding gown.

When it comes to choosing your wedding undergarments, function has to take priority. No doubt when you envision bridal lingerie, the first picture that comes to mind is something white, lacy, and romantic. However, in many cases, those types of undergarments are not the ones that are needed to create the best possible fit for the wedding gown. Remember that you can always choose special romantic lingerie to wear on the wedding night and the honeymoon; don't worry if the foundation under your gown is more utilitarian than beautiful.

Obviously a regular bra with straps cannot be worn under a strapless bridal gown. Some brides can get away with a standard strapless bra, as long as the back of the gown cuts straight across, with little or no dip in the back. Look for a strapless bra which has a silicone grip strip along the edges to help keep it from slipping down. Many an active dancer has found her strapless bra down around her waist at some point during the evening, so when in doubt, choose a bustier or long line bra instead of a basic strapless.

Most brides will choose to wear a bustier or long line bra under a strapless wedding dress. Because they go to the waist, there is no chance that they will slip around or fall down. There are a variety of materials and cuts available, some of which work wonderfully, and some of which are just terrible. Be very careful when selecting a bustier for your gown, as you want it not only fit well, but also to be well concealed under your dress. If your gown has heavy embellishment or a lot of lace on the bodice, you may be able to get away with a lacy bustier, but in many cases, the lace will show through as bumps under the gown.

Speaking of bumps, take care that the boning of your undergarments does not show through when you are in your wedding dress. Some of the more costly bustiers do a good job of concealing the boning under a smooth layer of fabric for a seamless look. These bras are usually not at all pretty, but they tend to be the most practical. Color is another consideration; match the bustier to the color of your skin, not the color of your bridal gown.

Choosing the right undergarments for the lower half of a strapless gown is usually easier. Many will have built in petticoats, which means that you can get away with underwear that is as fancy as you like. If you plan to wear stockings, choose alluring garters with stockings over unattractive pantyhose. You can really have fun decorating the garters and your undies with details like pearls or crystals to match your bridal jewelry. This will make for a very special look on the wedding night when you wear little more than your lingerie and bridal jewelry. And remember that if you have to choose something practical to disappear under your gown (no v.p.l., please!), you can always pick up something more romantic to wear in the honeymoon suite!
