Romantic. Timeless. Elegant. A wedding dress with lace captures the essence of bridal beauty like nothing else. Whether it’s delicate sleeves, an illusion neckline, or a full lace overlay, this classic detail brings softness and sophistication to any silhouette.

At Adrianna Papell, our collection of lace wedding dresses offers a wide range of designs—from ethereal boho lace wedding dresses to dramatic lace mermaid gowns, short lace minis, and elegant long sleeve lace wedding gowns. Crafted for the modern bride with timeless taste, our lace gowns celebrate both style and sentiment.

Why Choose a Wedding Dress with Lace?

Lace has long been a bridal favorite, and for good reason. It adds visual interest, depth, and texture while still feeling light, soft, and feminine. A lace wedding dress with sleeves can evoke vintage charm, while a lace mermaid silhouette creates a bold, contemporary look. The fabric is incredibly versatile and works across wedding styles, venues, and seasons.

Here’s why so many brides choose lace:

• Timeless appeal: Lace never goes out of style and always photographs beautifully.
  
• Textural elegance: Adds depth without the need for heavy embellishment.
  
• Bridal romance: Delivers softness, femininity, and graceful movement.
• Adaptable design: Works beautifully on both structured and flowing silhouettes.

Whether you're planning a black-tie affair, a garden ceremony, or a beach celebration, lace adapts effortlessly to your vision.

What Are the Most Popular Styles of Lace Wedding Dresses?

Lace enhances almost every bridal silhouette, making it a favorite for both modern and traditional brides. From structured to soft, here are the most loved wedding dress styles with lace:

A-Line Lace Wedding Gown

Universally flattering and effortlessly graceful, the A-line lace wedding gown skims the body and flows out softly from the waist. Ideal for garden weddings or classic ceremonies.

Lace Mermaid Wedding Dress

Fitted through the bodice and hips before flaring out, the lace mermaid gown is bold and striking. Perfect for brides who want to showcase their curves while keeping it elegant.

Boho Lace Wedding Dress

Relaxed yet romantic, boho lace styles are light, free-flowing, and often feature floral lace or fringe details. Great for beach weddings or outdoor celebrations.

Vintage Lace Wedding Dresses

Featuring intricate patterns and timeless cuts, vintage lace gowns offer an old-world charm. Look for illusion necklines, scalloped edges, and classic sleeve detailing.

Short Lace Wedding Dress

For courthouse ceremonies, receptions, or modern brides, a short lace wedding dress offers a fun, stylish alternative to the traditional gown.

Off-Shoulder Lace Wedding Dress

This silhouette blends drama and elegance, with lace sleeves or overlays gracefully draping off the shoulder. A beautiful choice for romantic or evening ceremonies.

Long-Sleeved Lace Wedding Gown

Elegant and seasonless, the long-sleeved lace wedding gown provides coverage without sacrificing style. Illusion sleeves with lace appliqués are especially popular.

Plus Size Lace Wedding Dresses

Plus-size lace wedding dresses are all about combining elegance with comfort. Look for styles that offer supportive structure, strategic detailing, and a flattering silhouette—whether it’s a romantic A-line, a flowing boho shape, or a curve-enhancing mermaid cut. 

Which Lace Types Are Best for Wedding Dresses?

The type of lace used can dramatically affect the overall look and feel of your gown. Whether you want ultra-light, floral, or highly detailed lace, there’s a fabric to match your vision.

Chantilly Lace

Lightweight and delicate with fine floral patterns. Great for overlays and illusion details, especially around the neckline or sleeves.

Alençon Lace

Often referred to as the “Queen of Lace,” this type is heavier and features bold motifs outlined with cording, making it ideal for structured bodices and hems.

Guipure Lace

Bold and pattern-heavy without a net background, this lace makes a statement. Often used in boho lace wedding dresses for a textured, graphic look.

Embroidered Lace

This lace uses threads stitched onto tulle or mesh to create intricate designs. It adds texture and dimension, especially when paired with beading or sequins.

Corded Lace

Typically used to highlight floral or scroll designs, this lace has added texture and is perfect for creating depth and structure.

Each lace type brings its own mood, whether you're dreaming of vintage elegance or something more modern and sleek.
