The new lace codes: fresh ways to wear

23 JUNE 2026

Lace is back, but the 2026 aesthetic is less old romance, more modern and playful. Subtle scalloped trims and clever layering is being worn by brides alongside sleek accessories. Here are the OWN design team’s favourite ways to wear lace right now.

Minimalist accents

If you’re drawn to sleek silhouettes and clean lines, consider lace as a subtle accent. We love scalloped trims that trace the edge of a neckline, side seam or hem. It’s a delicate way to introduce interest and texture while still keeping the overall look clean and polished.

Artful layering

Layering lace over a clean, strapless gown adds instant romance and texture while offering versatility across the day. Try adding a lace cape for the ceremony and removing it later for a clean and elegant reception look.

Playful maximalism

For those who find joy in maximalism, don’t be afraid to mix different types of lace for a bigger impact. From supple French stretch lace to something more floral, you can achieve a beautiful layered look through clever draping and thoughtful placement.

Finishing touches

If you love the lace look but prefer a clean aesthetic, consider a lace trim on your veil or headpiece. The blusher veil, with its lace edging, creates a statement moment as you enter the ceremony. Alternatively, a full lace veil will always make for a grand entrance.

A subtle shoe

From Neous to Jimmy Choo, subtle lace accents on shoes are having a moment, and we’re all in. Feminine, elegant and refined, sometimes a delicate lace placement such as this is ‘just enough’.
