It's a bridal look that dates back to 1840 when Queen Victoria wed in a white Honinton lace dress. Some 185 years later, and the style is well and truly back: Venezuela Fury, Harriet Sperling and Perrie Edwards have all chosen an all-lace wedding gown in the past two months.But according to fashion expert Lisa Talbot, the full-lace look has started to feel 'overdone' and may well be better off left in the past.Speaking to the Daily Mail the celebrity stylist said: Lace wedding dresses have long been associated with romance, tradition and elegance, but we're now seeing so many brides choosing almost identical lace designs that the look is starting to feel less individual and, in some cases, a little overdone. 'The challenge with lace is that it can quickly date a dress if it's too heavily embellished or follows a trend-led silhouette. 'Many brides are drawn to intricate lace because it feels bridal, but the reality is that some styles can overwhelm the wearer rather than enhance her.'For instance, when boxer Tyson Fury and his wife Paris's eldest child, 16-year-old Venezuela, walked down the aisle in May 2026 on the Isle of Man, she opted for a lace fishtail wedding gown with a 50ft train - paired with white crocs. Former NHS nurse Harriet Sperling stepped out earlier this month to wed Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips in a lace Emilia Wickstead wedding dress that took 140 hours to make and sought to blend 'tradition and modernity'. And in-keeping with the trending style - Little Mix star Perrie Edwards tied the knot with international footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain over the weekend in an all-white lace dress which featured long sleeves and a corset style. Read on to discover the essential do's and dont's for styling a lace bridal gown as the style's popularity shows little sign of wavering...Venezuela Fury According to fashion expert Lisa Talbot, the full-lace look has started to feel 'overdone' and may well be better off left in the past. Pictured: Venezula Fury on her wedding day in May 16-year-old Venezuela Fury tied the knot with boxer Noah Price, 19, at the Victorian Royal Chapel of St John's on the Isle of Man in May and opted for a traditional lace gown with long sleeves and even a lace veil.The custom £5,000 Italian lace fishtail gown was designed by Liverpool based designers Ava Rose Hamilton – complete with a 50ft train.The train's length did cause a minor hiccup on Saturday as Venezuela – wearing white Crocs and holding her mobile phone – was trod on by an assistant and then her father Tyson.He was heard quipping to wife Paris: 'Blimey, you weren't joking, Paris, when you said it had a 50ft train.'Speaking ahead of the wedding, Venezuela had explained: 'I didn't want to look like My Big, Fat Gypsy Wedding.'I didn't want sparkles; I didn't want the 100-metre round perimeter dress. I described what I wanted, and it was as if they could see what was in my mind.'However, according to Lisa, while all-lace dresses may be leading bridal trends at the moment, 'clean lines, beautiful tailoring and quality fabrics such as crepe, silk or satin tend to stand the test of time far better than heavily patterned lace from head to toe'. Yet the expert did acknowledge that Venezuela's 'traditional bridal aesthetic' highlights that lace is continuing to 'appeal across generations, particularly when brides want a romantic, fairytale-inspired feel'. Harriet Sperling For Harriet Sperling's long-awaited royal wedding to Peter Phillips, the former NHS nurse chose to embrace the bridal lace trend by wearing an Emilia Wickstead lace dress with an early 19th-century-inspired three-meter trainFor Harriet Sperling's long-awaited royal wedding to Peter Phillips, the former NHS nurse chose to embrace the bridal lace trend by wearing an Emilia Wickstead lace dress with an early 19th-century-inspired three-meter train. To complete her ensemble, Harriet wore the 'Pragnell' family tiara, which has been worn by generations of the British jewellery firm, including at the Coronation of both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.Discussing the dress on Instagram, Emilia Wickstead wrote: 'Harriet's wedding dress is a bespoke Emilia Wickstead design, developed from initial sketch to final creation, fitted in our private salon on Sloane Street and crafted entirely by our in-house team at our West London atelier. The dress took 140 hours to make.'The lace is meticulously hand-applied throughout. Its heritage traces back to the early 1900s, following the invention and patenting of the revolutionary Leavers loom in Britain. Scalloped lace appliqué enhances the gown's architectural, sculptural lines, extending across the neckline and cuffs.'According to Lisa, while Harriet's look created a 'regal' and 'elegant' effect, brides must consider whether lace is truly what they desire most when choosing their dress for the big day.She added: 'The most stylish brides are those who choose a dress that reflects their personality rather than what's trending on social media.'Years from now, you'll want to remember how confident and comfortable you felt, not whether you followed a bridal trend.'Perrie Edwards Perrie Edwards opted for an all white lace dress and wearing golden earrings and walked arm in arm up the stairs with father Alexander and into the venue, which was decorated with white chrysanthemum flowersLittle Mix singer Perrie Edwards star said 'I Do' to her former England international footballer husband, both 32, at the picturesque Igreja Matriz de Estoi church in the village of Estoi in Faro on the weekend. The pop star opted for an all white lace dress and wearing golden earrings and walked arm in arm up the stairs with father Alexander and into the venue, which was decorated with white chrysanthemum flowers. Clutching a bouquet of flowers, Perrie's long-sleeved lace gown indicated that the bridal lace trend is certainly showing little sign of wavering. And while Lisa acknowledged that the look was 'classic and feminine', she added that it also 'reflects the growing popularity of full-lace bridal gowns that many brides are now gravitating towards'.She added: 'A wedding dress should feel like the best version of you, not a costume. 'For brides wanting a timeless look, I'd encourage them to focus first on the silhouette, fit and fabric rather than decorative details.'Celebrity brides that have styled subtle lace well According to Lisa, it is 'often the simpler gowns that still feel fresh and sophisticated today', rather than those who are dramatically more glamorous. Pictured: Kate Middleton on her royal wedding day in 2011According to Lisa, it is 'often the simpler gowns that still feel fresh and sophisticated today', rather than those who are dramatically more glamorous.She added: 'If a bride loves lace, using it selectively on sleeves, a veil, neckline or bodice can create a more modern and elegant effect.'When Kate Middleton tied the knot with Prince William at London's Westminster Abbey in 2011, the soon-to-be princess stepped out in a glamorous £250,000 Alexander McQueen dress with a Victorian-style corset. The back of the gown, which had a modest train, of two metres and 70 centimetres, was finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons finished by Rouleau loops.But in-keeping with Lisa's advise not to overdo it on the lace, the future Princess of Wales's gown only featured delicate hand-applied lace along the sleeves, bodice, hem of the skirt and at the edge of her nine-foot train. The lace was created by the Royal School of Needlework, which cut individual flowers – the rose, thistle, daffodil, and shamrock – from antique lace and appliqued them onto ivory silk tulle. When Grace Kelly married Prince Rainer III of Monaco at Saint Nicholas Cathedral in April 1956, her gown, designed by American costume designer Helen Rose, incorporated subtle details of lace that felt fitting and authenticLikewise, when Grace Kelly married Prince Rainer III of Monaco at Saint Nicholas Cathedral in April 1956, her gown, designed by American costume designer Helen Rose, incorporated subtle details of lace that felt fitting and authentic. The high-neck, long-sleeved bodice was crafted from antique Brussels lace, adorned with hand-sewn pearls, and flowed into a nine-foot silk taffeta train.Her ethereal veil, made from 90 yards of tulle, was carefully designed so her face remained visible to cameras, edged with lace appliqué that included a pair of lovebirds - a subtle symbol of devotion.More than six decades later, the look remains iconic, setting a benchmark for bridal elegance and inspiring generations of royal brides to come. Lisa added: 'If a bride loves lace, using it selectively on sleeves, a veil, neckline or bodice can create a more modern and elegant effect. Pictured: Princess Iman of Jordan married Jameel Alexander Thermiotis in 2023 at Beit Al Urdun in Amman, JordanPrincess Iman of Jordan's custom Dior gown for her 2023 wedding to Jameel Alexander Thermiotis in 2023 perfectly showcased this influence - with the dress featuring a high illusion neckline and long sleeves with subtle hints of lace.Delicate floral motifs adorned the collar and cuffs, paying subtle homage to the House's traditions, while the impeccable tailoring created a refined silhouette reminiscent of Grace Kelly's elegant lines.A matching lace appliqué veil completed the ensemble, and the Princess accessorised with a sparkling diamond tiara, enhancing the gown's understated regality.Highlighting the importance of lace used in a more intentional manner, Lisa added: 'Ultimately, lace isn't going out of fashion, but the way we wear it is evolving. 'Today's bride is looking for individuality, effortless elegance and a dress that feels authentic to her. 'Sometimes that means less lace, not more.'
