In a recent episode of ‘Say Yes to The Dress’ a bride-to-be who absolutely LOVES lace brought along a friend who absolutely HATES it. Got me thinking…which opinion is more common when it comes to wedding gowns?
Bees, share your thoughts! Lace. love it or hate it??

I don’t love it or hate it. Most of the time I prefer lace as an accent and dislike all lace dresses but there have been a few exceptions when the lace made me want to swoon.

I don’t really like lace. It works for some people. But I find it too antiquey in any detail, I perfer more modern looks, and I prefer satin over all other types of fabrics for wedding dresses.

I love lace and was looking only at lace dresses for a while. Ironically, I ended up with a silk organza ruffled dress!

Lace was one of my no-nos when I went dress shopping. I didn’t want any lace on my dress at all, not even a little. It’s not that I don’t like it; the previous year, about 10 of my friends got married, and all of the brides wore lace dresses. They were lovely, but I felt like I was very over lace after that. I decided on a very different look for my own wedding dress, and I’m glad I went that direction. But I definitely don’t hate lace. And like
secondchances, I generally perfer it as an accent.

Was this SYTTD Atl? That guy was RUDE.
I love lace. I didn’t end up with a lace dress, but I think the look itself is very classic and gorgeous.

I LOVE lace. I think it’s super pretty and romantic. With that being said, my dress has zero lace on it – haha.

Love it!!! I personally dislike shiny satin dresses or beading and crystals so lace was perfect for me.

I’m unfortunately not one of the lace fans! I think it looks beautiful on some dresses and some brides rock the lace look. It’s just not my cup of tea and historically I’ve never really gravitated towards lace clothing. I think hate is too strong a word though. I just wouldn’t want a wedding dress with any lace accents.

@LeClere61513: Yes! Especially because she looked AMAZING in pretty much all of them.
@MrsRuby: Exactly! Dude, not your wedding dress.

Love lace.
Particularly after watching SYTTD with my Fiance, an all lace dress without ruching was what I wanted.

I love lace! I originally thought that’s what I wanted in a dress. When I went to try on dresses, I was surprised that I didn’t like lace on me. But I think it’s beautiful and romantic.

@scadadle15: I feel the same way. I wanted nothing shiny.
