It’s a design feature that works well on most styles of dress, so whether you’re going for sleek and modern, sophisticated vintage or a beautiful ball gown, choose from our flattering selection of lace-up wedding dresses and you’re guaranteed to look simply stunning.

Here are a few of our favourites to show you how to wear the look…

Perfectly pulled in

This ivory Anna Sorrano dress is a great example of how figure-enhancing lace-up wedding dresses can be. The chic lacing, combined with the neatly pleated satin bodice, make this a super-flattering style!

Extra special details

At the front, the bodice is decorated with floral embellished lace appliqués, while the metallic feature lace adds an extra special element to the intricate detailing.

A sweeping statement

The floor-length, A-line skirt is a masterpiece of sweeping satin and the smart ruching is very flattering across the hips and tummy area. Accessorise this look with our classic Deco comb and our glittering Estella belt, to highlight your neat waist. Our Langley veil, with its sprinkle of diamantés, has just the right amount of subtle sparkle to finish the look.

A modern twist

Turn around and you’ll not only reveal the chic satin lacing but also the sumptuous train, ending in more gorgeous lace appliqués. It’s a beautiful modern twist to this classic design. And if you like the stylish ruching here you might also like our Felicia, Venus  and Addison gowns.

Figure-hugging and fabulous

Luscious lacing is equally at home on a modern vintage style, as you can see here on this cute vintage number. Our Tamsin dress is a sassy ballerina-length style that’s all about having fun!

Waist-enhancing design

At the back, you can see how the lacing pulls in the beautiful bodice to create the perfect waistline. The Chantilly lace and the sparkly clusters of beads are just the icing on a very pretty cake!

A luxury feel

The full silhouette is all about fun 1950s’ romance. There’s also a Chantilly lace under layer for an even more luxurious feel. Wear this with our 125 underskirt to give the fabulous skirt more bounce and our Nova belt to really draw attention to that neat waistline!

A modern lace-up

Lace-up wedding dresses are such a versatile look, as you can see here with our super modern Dolce gown. The clean-cut silhouette and Mikado fabric are all pulled in perfectly by the stylish lacing.

Sleek and unique

The front of this dress couldn’t be sleeker. It’s perfect for showing off your curves while emphasising the waist. Our glittering Estella belt combined with our simple Loulou veil, edged in satin ribbon, will help finish the look off.

A shapely silhouette

The clever lacing and the fishtail silhouette here work together to help create a dream hourglass figure. The vertical, princess-cut seams also help to elongate the body. Did you know, the luxurious Mikado fabric has been bagged out at the hem with a two-inch horsehair trim so it holds its shape? For even more volume you can wear this with our 190 underskirt too.

 

All in the details

And finally, the sweeping statement of the train is what your guests will remember as you glide down that aisle. And while they might not notice all the other clever little design details, you’ll know they’re working hard to keep you looking absolutely gorgeous all day long!
