Kate Middleton sparked a genuine trend when she married inside a lace wedding gown.

Three years on and it is a trend that shows no manifestation of abating. For bridesmaid dresses it's right available online for - you'll find cocktail frocks in various shades of lace, delicate blouses, and lace skirts in 2 tone colors.

If you thought lace for any wedding only agreed to be for your bridal veil as well as your wedding gown, then reconsider.

As these frocks by Dessy show, you are able to put your bridesmaids in lace too - even your flower girls - and work this pretty theme towards the max.

I've stuck to some mainly monochrome theme here but when you look at what Dessy provides, you'll see that you are able to overlay lace with pastel shades, rich reds, forest greens, midnight blues .... whatever you prefer.

And again, they are frocks which are too pretty simply to be kept for bridesmiad gowns. They should be taken from the wardrobe over and over for parties and posh dos.

All the lavender bridesmaid dresses shown are by Dessy - make use of the site search and set in the style code to locate your dress within the color and lace combination you would like.
