Lace conjures up memories of our mothers’ and grandmothers’ wedding days. Filled with nostalgia and history, lace is an upcoming wedding trend that has never really gone away. Gaining steam as we enter into 2009, lace isn’t just for your wedding dress anymore.

Here are some fun ways to incorporate lace into your entire wedding theme.

• Try a birdcage veil. A stylish, short veil that ends well before your chin, birdcage veils have a cool retro feel, and are a stunning example of lace taking center stage in your wedding.
• Add lace to your wedding invitations. Many wedding invitations have beautiful lace designs already, while others could have a small lace ribbon added to them.
• Accent your wedding bouquet. Tie a lace ribbon around each bouquet and let it stream down the sides.
• Wrap up your wedding favors. The addition of lace to your wedding favors add a lovely touch to the guests’ take home trinkets.
• Lay out lace doilies or table runners. The wedding reception can have an old world feel with some lace accompaniments.

The fantastic thing about lace is that it comes in every color and style to match your wedding theme. You can even mix and match different lace patterns, for a subtle yet memorable feel for your wedding day.
