Ivanka Trump wore a lace Vera Wang gown inspired by old Hollywood when she married Jared Kushner a couple of weeks ago. Bridal designers' gowns for 2010 have as little as a hint of lace to a full lace on top of lace gown.
The trend over the past few years was to stay as far away from lace as possible. Bridal gowns were more about soft, silky, shiny materials. Well, I do not think lace every left us. Being a fan of all things romantic, lace is on top of my list.
Lace adds romance and class to any style of wedding gown. Did you purchase a sexy strapless, yet simple gown and now feel like you need to cover up some and want something more romantic and less sexy for the ceremony?
Lace is your friend! Run! Seriously... Run, to your bridal store or contact Rebecca Wendlandt to create a custom lace overlay or lace jacket for your wedding gown. The lace overlay can be as short or as long as you like. Check out the slideshow here for some touch of lace inspiration.

So, you are more of a modern tomboyish bride. A lace gown or overlay just does not seem to be your style. However, although a tomboy, you are also a hopeless romantic.
