Located within the Dairy Block development in the heart of Denver’s Lower Downtown neighborhood, lies Grace Loves Lace’s new Denver showroom. The latest U.S. outpost of the iconic Australian bridal brand, Grace Loves Lace is renowned for its effortless, comfortable, and accessible wedding dresses, hand-crafted and ethically made in Queensland, Australia – and ideal for the adventurous Rocky Mountain bride. Uniquely designed to feel like an extension of home – bright, warm, and inviting – the showroom offers appointment-only one-on-one time with a personal Grace Loves Lace stylist to see, feel and try on the luxurious sample range of wedding gowns in one of four private dressing rooms, in addition to bridesmaid and occasion wear, GRACE Mini dresses, veils, hair accessories and more. Here are six gowns for the modern bride.
THE CLO GOWN
Dramatic, luxurious, and impactful: A combination of the stunning Hart silhouette and featuring iconic, exclusive rose stretch lace, Clo is finished with exquisite eyelash detailing around the neckline, low back, and hem. Center-back ruching and a fit-and-flare silhouette accentuate a bride’s best assets, achieving the perfect amount of va-va-voom! Brides can choose from spaghetti straps or wider straps, with two lining options – ivory for a classic look and chai to show off GLL’s exclusive rose lace.
THE NOAH GOWN
A blend of an iconic silhouette and modern lace combinations, the Noah is feminine and soulful. Highlighting Grace Loves Lace’s unique abstract Chantilly lace and trims, this gown is the epitome of modern craftsmanship. With built-in cups and an exquisite fit, Noah offers complete support and functionality. An intricate stretch trim is used to contour the body, while silk godet skirt panels add softness. Noah is a thoughtfully detailed design and beautifully balanced with off-the-shoulder scallop-edged lace armbands and a supportive stretch back strap.
THE LENA GOWN
Lena is for the woman who wants impeccable simplicity; a gown that is both breathtaking and timeless. This gown features a stunning combination of Grace Loves Lace’s distinctive fishtail silhouette and its flattering stretch crepe created to mold and support the body. Lena combines a plunging neckline and a sculptural, fitted frame. Lena’s delicate, Italian tulle panels with hand-cut lace motifs have been curated in their placement over the gown, to highlight and accentuate natural contours of the body. On the bodice, brides can choose between a soft ivory or subtle chai tulle to contrast the delicate lace appliqué.
THE INCA GOWN
The dress dreams are made of! With a unique combination of French and Japanese lace, paired with a flattering classic fit and a statement low back, the Inca is an unforgettable, signature GLL gown. Made for the woman with effortless style, with substance and passion. Inca is a piece of art with unique shapes and contouring, designed to highlight the female figure in the most flattering way. Designed with a straight boat neck and a barely there, 7/8 length sleeve, the Inca has been cleverly constructed with all the right elements.
THE HONEY SILK GOWN
Silk does for the body what diamonds do for the hand, and Grace Loves Lace’s Honey Silk gown celebrates and flatters everybody. Classic, glamorous and feminine: A luxurious double-layered Crepe de Chine silk gown, with fine silk straps, an elegant bodice and cowl neckline (with optional eyelash trim), a defined waist and an A-line flare skirt. It creates the most stunning hourglass silhouette for the GLL bombshell.
THE ALEXANDRA ROSE GOWN
This is the go-to silhouette for EVERY woman – a fresh, new update and tribute to the incredible women who have graced the Alexandra since it was launched. It’s for the confident, passionate and effortlessly beautiful woman – the classic Grace muse.
