The Return of Lace
Once the hallmark of heirloom bridal styling, lace veils are making a statement comeback for 2026. But this isn’t lace as you know it. Think delicate Chantilly trims, bold scalloped borders, and intricate embroidered florals — details that transform a veil from an afterthought into the defining accessory.

At Marrime, we’ve always believed the veil is the finishing touch that changes everything. And this season, our lace veil edit proves just how powerful the right detail can be.
Why Lace Veils, Why Now?
Fashion has been in its “quiet luxury” era for several seasons. Minimalist gowns are dominating bridal moodboards, but brides are looking for ways to add individuality. Enter: the lace veil.
A lace veil is more than just tradition. It adds depth, movement and artistry. Whether paired with a clean Suzanne Neville silhouette or a daring Eva Lendel gown, it creates a romantic tension — modern dress, heritage accessory — that feels editorial, elevated, and unforgettable.
The Lace Veil Trends Defining 2026
1. Cathedral Romance
For the bride who wants to float down the aisle, lace-edged cathedral veils offer drama and elegance. At Marrime, our cathedral lace veils pair beautifully with minimalist dresses — allowing the veil to become the statement.
2. Mantilla Chic
Inspired by Spanish heritage, mantilla veils frame the face with lace. They photograph beautifully, bringing a softness and intimacy to bridal portraits. Perfect for brides channeling our Floral Femininity Muse.
3. Scalloped Statements
Scalloped lace edging is gaining traction, adding a couture finish to veils without overwhelming the gown. It’s the detail fashion brides are gravitating towards — subtle yet directional.
4. Botanical Embroidery
Florals remain a strong bridal theme for 2026, and lace embroidery is the chicest way to interpret the look. Marrime’s embroidered lace veils layer seamlessly with lace gowns or elevate a clean crepe design.
How to Wear Lace Veils – Marrime Styling Notes
- With Minimalism: Pair lace with gowns like Made With Love’s Prim or Suzanne Neville’s clean silhouettes for contrast that feels modern.
- With Lace Gowns: For the bride who loves romance, echo lace motifs from your dress with a coordinating veil.
- With Fashion-Forward Styles: Offset structured Eva Lendel gowns with softer lace trims for balance.
