Trend We Love: Lace Wedding Details

Ever since Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen dresslace wedding gowns have been extremely popular. And while we love them, lace can also add a romantic feel to decorations, flowers, cakes, and so much more. Plus, this fabric can easily be adapted to fit any color scheme or season. Here are some of our favorite ways to add lace to everything but the gown.

Cakes

Your baker can create a lace-like effect on your cake by using intricate fondant cut-outs or tiers:

This beautiful bouquet on the left is made of fern, lilacs, ranunculus, rice flower, veronica flowers with all shades of purple. Tie it with a bow to bring out the vintage charm. The bouquet featured on the right was inspired by "rustic romance," the color peach and English roses. Lace highlights the rustic and romantic feel.

The lace wrapped around this bride's bouquet is actually from her aunt's wedding gown and fabric from her grandparents. She wanted to honor the members of her family that could not be there with her — love this idea!
