Secrets of choosing the right lace wedding dress

Openwork is a thin, translucent fabric with complex patterns. The dress can be made entirely of openwork or decorated with inserts from it. This material is denser than guipure and therefore suitable for winter.

Medium-length voluminous sleeves half-expose women's shoulders, and the difference in the size of the openwork fabric allows it to be used without additional accessories.

An elegant floor-length guipure dress from Pronovias in a light cream shade will decorate even the most sophisticated wedding celebration. The maximum length of the mermaid silhouette hugs the figure in a feminine way. The neckline decor resembles a necklace, emphasizing the beautiful neck, and the sleeves, slightly touched with lace, evoke associations with fallen straps that reveal the collarbones.

How to create a look with a lace dress

It is not advisable to overload a lace dress with accessories, because the guipure elements themselves are decoration.

Here's what you'll need:

Veil. Stylists advise abandoning it and replacing it with an elegant hat with a short veil, a wreath, fresh flowers or a tiara.
Bijouterie. It should not be flashy and massive. It is advisable to opt for small stud earrings made of pearls or diamonds.
Capes. In cool weather, you can't do without capes, shawls or boleros. It is necessary to ensure that the lace pattern on the cape and dress matches.
Handbag. It is advisable to choose a smooth, classic clutch without frilly decoration.
Shoes. It is advisable to avoid heels that are too high (12-15 cm) or take with you replacement shoes (pumps or ballet flats), which will come in handy during a long walk.
