7 Ways to Incorporate Elegant Lace into Your Wedding

There are many other ways you can lace up your wedding without having to see it at every corner of the venue or worn on everyone in the wedding party. Fortunately, yards of the material are not required to achieve an elegant touch. If you admire lace but would prefer not to wear it, here are a few ways to incorporate the elegant material into your own celebration.

1. Invitations
If you feel like there is no place for the fabric in the actual wedding, you may consider lacing your invitations. It can be as easy as wrapping a few inches of the fabric across the card. As the old saying goes, a little goes a long way.

2. Bouquet
This is one example of how tiny details can make the biggest difference. Tying a piece of lace around the bridal bouquet or bridesmaids’ nosegays will do wonders in beautifying the details. Even if the dresses are not made of lace, an accent gives a lot of character to the blooms. You may even want to adorn boutonnieres or floral arrangements with this same idea in mind.

3. Canopy
Most outdoor wedding ceremonies have an elegant arch and alfresco receptions have a canopy set up, usually decorated with drapery or florals. This is a great opportunity to use lace, as its delicate nature will allow the material to flow beautifully down the canopy.

4. Chair Covers
While lace linens may seem like too much or even too little for some couples, there is a way to include the fabric during the ceremony or at the table for the reception. You may find that wrapping lace around or over the seat covers best fits your desired theme or style.

5. Linens
You don’t need a vintage-inspired wedding to seat your guests around an old-world aesthetic. The multiple patterns of this type of fabric add a special, elegant touch to any wedding style. Its lightweight and delicate nature softens the venue space and looks stunning in photographs. 

6. Card Box
Whether it is store-bought or homemade, the card box will attract all guests. Why not dress it up with a detailed design like lace? It is simple, clean, and elegant for any type of wedding. This same concept can also be applied to centerpieces and/or place settings.

7. Cake
If you can put flowers and figurines on a cake, why not lace? This can do wonders for the overall motif of the wedding since it can take the form of many things. Choose black lace if you want a spiderweb effect for an alternative or Halloween wedding, and select a nude hue with seashells on top to accent nautical nuptials. Whether you add the fabric or lace-inspired decorations, there are many ways you can achieve the look, so be creative!
