Wedding gowns may take all sorts of different shapes, sizes, and colors, but lace over satin is one wedding dress detail that will always be in style. Whether you’re dressed in it from head to toe or used as intricate overlays and accent, lace can be for both the modern and conservative bride who’s looking to blend tradition with bridal gown trends. Here are some of the best lacy wedding dresses off the fall 2009 runway collections.
