The irish wedding dress is really a bride's dream come true.

If you are worried about following tradition and having a beautiful dress, stop worrying right now!
I know you are curious, so follow me!


What is it?

I guess that first of all we should talk about what an irish wedding dress is.
You may be surprised to know that white was not the color of choice for brides in ancient times.
Irish brides really chose pastel blues or yellows for their dresses.
The introduction of white didn't happen until Victorian times.

To accentuate the white dress, irish lace was used. While irish lace production dates back to the 1600 it is unclear when this type of crochet like fabric made an impact in wedding fashions.

And what is Irish lace?
Is what nowadays everyone refers to as French lace, a beautiful designed patterned lace.
so in a nutshell , all you need to do is find a dress that has a lace design and you should be ready to go.

I don't think there's an easier way to give a modern twist to a traditional gown than this.
