Lace conjures up images of timeless romance and elegance. It's no wonder brides have adorned themselves in lace for centuries. But with so many varieties, patterns, and textures to choose from, finding the perfect lace wedding dress can feel overwhelming. That's why we spoke with Megan Ziems, Founder and Creative Director of Grace Loves Lace, for the inside scoop.

A Brief History of Lace

The origins of lace can be traced back to the 16th century in Europe. Once a luxury item for the noble class, lace has become a beloved fabric for brides everywhere. Today, it graces wedding gowns of all styles, from vintage throwbacks to modern masterpieces

What are some of the different types of lace you use in wedding dresses?

Megan explains that designers tend to have their favorite laces to work with, much like an artist has their preferred mediums. Some of the most popular laces used for wedding dresses include:

• Guipure: A heavy, geometric lace that creates a structured look.
• Chantilly: A delicate, floral lace with a web-like appearance.
• Leavers: Considered one of the finest laces, Leavers features intricate, floral patterns.
• Embroidery: Decorative stitching creates patterns on fabric in the shape of flowers, vines, leaves, and more.
• Appliqué: Cutout lace shapes are sewn onto a base fabric like tulle or chiffon.
• Elastic Lace: Stretchy lace that moves with the body.
• Eyelet: Circular cutouts give this lace an open, airy look.
• Soft Woven: Lightweight, woven lace with a smooth face.

How does the choice of lace influence the overall look and feel of a wedding dress?

Ziems, the creative force behind Grace Loves Lace, highlights the transformative power of lace. “If you have an eye and appreciation for quality and detail, then it makes all the difference,” she shares. The lace isn't just an embellishment; it's the canvas for the gown's artistry. According to Ziems, “sourcing or designing and developing our laces comes first, and then you work with it to create the dress.” This approach sets the tone for everything, from the gown's silhouette to its intricate details.

How does the choice of lace impact the cost of a wedding dress?

Megan Ziems offers a straightforward equation: “The higher the quality of lace, the higher the cost, and so the higher the price of the gown ends up being.” But not all brands prioritize quality. Ziems cautions against brands that don’t design in-house and, instead, opt for ready-made gowns from offshore factories. So, when selecting lace, consider it an investment in your dream day. It's about finding the perfect balance between quality and budget.

How delicate is lace on a wedding dress typically?

When it comes to the delicacy of lace, Megan Ziems provides a nuanced view. “This is a huge variable depending on the lace—how well the gown is constructed, and if the design has been created to suit the functionality of the lace,” she explains. Each type of lace has its own care requirements. Ziems and her team focus on laces that are high in quality, comfortable to wear, and visually stunning.

So, what's the takeaway? Handle your lace gown with care to keep it looking pristine. “Be mindful of clean hands, handle with care, be careful of jewelry, etc.,” Ziems advises.

How can a bride determine the right type of lace for her personal style and body type?

Megan Ziems offers a refreshing take on choosing the right lace to match a bride's personal style and body type. “Laces on their own can certainly look very different in style—from vintage, boho, contemporary, classic, art deco, romantic, chic, and so on—but it's what you do with them that makes them open to interpretation and possibility,” she says. In other words, the lace itself is just the beginning; it's how it's used that truly brings a gown to life.

Drawing inspiration from iconic designers like Alexander McQueen, Ziems and her team view lace as a tool for artistic expression. “We approach fabrics like a tool to create the art piece,” she shares. This approach opens up a world of possibilities, allowing brides to find a lace that not only complements their body type but also resonates with their unique style.

So, when it comes to selecting the perfect lace, remember that the lace is a canvas, ready to be transformed into your dream gown.

Are there any trending lace patterns or designs that brides should be aware of?

Megan Ziems has her finger on the pulse of lace trends, and she's excited about the direction they're taking. “Gone are the days that lace was only seen as ‘traditional,' which is a long time coming,” she notes. Celebrities and influential women are embracing lace in new and exciting ways, shifting the perception of this timeless fabric.

According to Ziems, the trend is moving away from large-scale embroidered laces and leaning towards more intricate, romantic designs. “I think trend-driven embroidered laces on a very large scale are definitely out, and more intricate romantic laces are in, and that's a really nice indication that the appreciation is really there for the beauty that lace is,” she says.

How does the choice of lace correlate with different wedding themes and venues?

Megan Ziems offers a liberating perspective on how lace can align with various wedding themes and venues. “Less about the type of lace and more about the pattern and scale and how it's used in the gown itself,” she explains. In other words, it's not just the type of lace that matters, but how it's incorporated into the overall design of the dress.

Ziems encourages brides to break free from traditional constraints. “I really think it's about having no rules and appreciating lace for how it captures you in that gown, and how it makes you feel,” she says. This sentiment resonates in today's wedding landscape, where brides are increasingly opting for multiple looks to express different facets of their personality. “Women these days often represent ‘both' sides of themselves on their wedding day and I love that. Be that romantic you and then be your wild and carefree you. And that often means two dresses, two looks.”

What are your tips for styling a lace wedding dress?

Megan Ziems has some sage advice for brides wondering how to style a lace wedding dress. “I think it's important to let the hero element of your look shine so if you have a very detailed lace gown, keep the flowers and your jewelry minimal,” she suggests. The intricate patterns and textures of lace can stand on their own, making it unnecessary to overload on additional embellishments.

Ziems also recommends a strategic approach to planning your wedding look. “A good tip is to approach your wedding a little like a brand would approach a campaign—establish a mood board including color scheme and put a picture of your dress at the center—build it around that so that it all speaks to each other,” she says.

In the ever-evolving world of bridal fashion, lace stands as a timeless testament to love, elegance, and individuality. Megan Ziems and her team at Grace Loves Lace have elevated this classic fabric into a versatile canvas for modern romance. Their designs, rich in quality and artistry, invite brides to explore the many shades of their femininity, from the dreamy romantic to the spirited free soul.

For those drawn to the poetic allure of lace, a visit to the Grace Loves Lace website might feel like stepping into a gallery. Each gown is a work of art, a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, waiting to be discovered by a bride who sees herself in its intricate patterns and soft silhouettes. And in the words of Megan Ziems, the ultimate tip for brides-to-be is simply to “Embrace the Lace!”

There's something incredibly special about finding your one true love, isn't there? It's like discovering a diamond that shines just for you. Now, you're on the brink of another magical milestone – the proposal. Butterflies? Of course! It's not every day you pop the most significant question of your life. But fret not, we're right by your side, partnering with Helzberg Diamonds on this guide, featuring what to say and what not to say when proposing.

Our guide, combined with our inspirational proposal video gallery, is designed to help you articulate yourself in a way that rings true to your unique love story. So, put your feet up, let the nerves melt away, and join us as we delve into the art of proposal speeches!

What to Say When Proposing

Embarking on this journey towards a lifetime of togetherness, there's no foolproof script, no hard and fast rules. These suggestions we're about to explore are just a sprinkle of inspiration, just like that glistening Helzberg diamond you're about to slip onto their finger. Remember, the magic truly lies in following your heart and trusting your gut. So, are you ready to make your proposal as unique as your love story? Let's dive right in!

Craft a Personal Proposal
When it comes to proposing, forget carbon copies. Let your words be an authentic reflection of your feelings, a personalised speech that tells your partner, “This is the real me, talking to the real you”. Your words will be all the more precious for it.

Embrace Structure
Proposing isn't all about spontaneity. A well-planned speech keeps you on track, aids memory and even boosts confidence. How about opening with a zinger and closing with a memorable flourish? After all, these are the bits your partner will replay in their mind, so make them worthy of a rerun!

Heart Talk
Honesty, openness and vulnerability – all come together in the perfect proposal. This is no time to shy away from your feelings. Even if there's a tiny chance of a ‘no', don't let fear dim the bright ‘yes' you're hoping for.

Detail Matters
Zoom in on the tiny quirks and little details that make your partner special. Be specific about why you love them. Is it the way they dance like no-one's watching? Or the way they they stick their tongue out when they're concentrating.

Freewriting to the Rescue
The art of freewriting can be your ally in the proposal prep. Just pour your thoughts out on paper or screen, without worrying about grammar, style or romantic flair. Let the first draft be a brainstorming exercise – a raw, unfiltered account of your feelings.

Riding the Emotional Wave
Tears, laughter, a choke in your voice – let emotions flow freely. Your partner is bound to resonate with your feelings, and love you all the more for your vulnerability.

Finding Your Voice
Resist the urge to sound like a character from a rom-com. Embrace your own voice, be it charmingly awkward, eloquently poetic or something in between. And remember, just as no two Helzberg diamonds are the same, your voice is unique. Let it shine through.

Count the Reasons
Speak of your partner's best qualities, their generosity, their patience, their wit. What makes them so lovable to you? Let your appreciation shine through.

Reliving Your Story
You could start your proposal by revisiting the moment you first met, or when you realised you were in love. As well as any key moments and milestones throughout your journey to this moment in time.

Transformative Love
Love often changes us, for the better. If your partner has had a positive influence on you, let them know. Has their kindness rubbed off on you? Has their resilience made you stronger? It's time to give credit where it's due!

Mapping the Future
Marriage is a promise of a shared future. Talk about your dreams and hopes, the adventures you're planning together, the love you envision growing deeper. Dreaming up your shared future is a promising adventure filled with love and excitement.

The Perfect End
Building up to the big question, “Will you marry me?”, is all about timing. The right moment to kneel (should you wish to) and present the ring will naturally follow from your heartfelt monologue. And then, you wait for that eagerly anticipated ‘yes'!

Repeat Till Perfect
Repetition is the mother of learning, they say. Go ahead and practice your proposal, get cozy with your words. Whether it's in front of a mirror, a friend, or your pet, practice until you can deliver your proposal effortlessly and genuinely, without having to glance at a cheat sheet. And remember, it's okay to tweak until it feels just right. Let your proposal be a work of heart!

Humor is Your Friend
Who says a proposal needs to be a solemn affair? Throw in some insider humor to ease the tension, a shared joke that'll make your partner smile can be as brightening as the sparkle of a Helzberg diamond.

A Little Wisdom from the Expert
Love and proposals can seem like a maze, right? That's when a little expert wisdom can do wonders. Ash Fox, a seasoned guru in the realm of marriage proposals, points out two pivotal questions you need to address: why do you love this person and why are you proposing?

The ‘why' of love could be about their infectious laughter, their uncanny ability to calm you down in the face of chaos, or maybe it's how they dance in the kitchen while making pancakes on Sunday mornings. The ‘why' of the proposal could be because you can't imagine growing old with anyone else or because they make the mundane magical. See, it's all about unravelling the personal and unique tapestry of your love.

What Not To Say

Just as much as it's crucial to know what to say when you're about to pop the question, it's also super important to know what NOT to say. So, let's take a friendly stroll through some proposal faux pas. But remember, don't stress it!

Don't Make Demands or Ultimatums

Steer clear of anything that sounds demanding or like an ultimatum. Lines like “It's time we get married, don't you think?” or “So when are you going to make an honest man out of me?” can put pressure on your partner and make them feel cornered, which is not how you want them to feel when you propose!

Keep the Focus on Your Partner

You'll also want to avoid proposals that come across as more about yourself than your partner. Let's be real – no one wants to hear “I need a wife to take care of me” or “My mom really wants grandkids.” Make sure to keep the focus on your love and admiration for your future fiancé(e).

Don't Imply You Want to Change Your Partner

It's best not to propose with a long list of the changes you hope marriage will bring. Sentences starting with “When we're married, you'll finally…” or “Once we're husband and wife, I expect you to…” imply that you want to modify your partner, rather than celebrating them as-is.

Avoid Clichés

Cliches are called cliches for a reason – because they are overused and come off as impersonal. Ditch proposal one-liners like “You complete me” or “You had me at Hello.” You want your proposal to feel heartfelt, not straight off a movie script.

Don't Launch into a Proposal Without Context

And lastly, don't just launch into a proposal without any lead up. Starting the conversation with “So, will you marry me?” out of the blue can catch your partner totally off guard. You want the moment to feel special for both of you.

The proposal is one of the most romantic moments in a relationship. Keep it focused on your unique love story by avoiding demands, expectations, cliches and anything that won't make your partner feel cherished. When in doubt, keep it simple and speak from the heart.

Steer Clear of Negativity

This is your moment, your big leap into a future full of sunshine and shared Sunday brunches. It's not the time to bring up past arguments or touchy subjects. Keep the mood as buoyant as a helium-filled “Will you marry me?” balloon. Fill your speech with positivity and love – because that's what this moment is all about!

Don't Make Comparisons

You know that cute couple from that romantic movie you both love? Yeah, don't compare yourselves to them. Your love story isn't scripted – it's oh-so-real, uniquely yours and just plain gorgeous.. And trust us, that's a whole lot more meaningful than any Hollywood romance!

Proposal Styles

Approaching the grand gesture of a proposal, there's no one-size-fits-all. It's all about what feels right for you and your partner. To get those creative gears turning, we've put together a range of proposal speech styles.

Romantic Style
This style is for the hearts brimming with passion. It's all about expressing deep, emotive sentiments. Example: “From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were the one I wanted to share my life. Your beauty, heart, and mind inspire me to be the best person I can be. I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honoring you, being faithful to you, and sharing my life with you. Will you make me the happiest person alive and be my partner for life?”

Humorous Style
Ideal for couples who share a good laugh, this style infuses humor and wit into the proposal. Example: “Remember when we first met and I told you I'm terrible at cooking? Well, I'm ready to burn toast for you every morning for the rest of our lives. Will you marry me?”

Storytelling Style
This approach uses shared memories and experiences to paint a vivid picture of your journey together. Example “We've climbed mountains, got lost in cities, and even survived a quarantine haircut. Through every high and low, my love for you has only grown. Ready to start the next chapter of our story? Will you marry me?”

Short and Sweet Style
Some people believe in brevity, and this style delivers a heartfelt message in a few words. Example: “You are my everything. My love, my life, my friend. I want to spend all my tomorrows with you. Will you marry me?”

Poetic Style
Perfect for the lovers of verse, this style uses lyrical language and metaphors to express your feelings. Example: “Like a lighthouse in a storm, you guide me home. You're the melody that orchestrates my heartbeat. Will you marry me and be the sonnet of my life?”

Modern Style
Contemporary and trendy, this style often incorporates pop culture and shared experiences. Example: “From surviving lockdowns together, adopting three plants (that are miraculously still alive), and creating countless TikToks, we've built a beautiful, quirky life. Ready to level up and make our duo an unstoppable team forever? Will you marry me?”

Adventurous Style
For adrenaline seekers, this style is about shared adventures and thrill. Example: “From scaling mountains to diving into deep seas, every adventure with you has been a page in our thrilling love story. Now, I am standing on the precipice of our greatest adventure yet. Will you leap with me and marry me?”

Nostalgic Style
Revisiting shared past experiences can make for a touching proposal. Example: “From college sweethearts to navigating the real world hand in hand, we've come a long way. Our love has stood the test of time. Now it's time to turn our sweet nostalgia into a forever future. Will you marry me?”

Traditional Style
Rooted in timeless romantic notions, this style often includes classic lines and themes. Example: “With an open heart, a hopeful spirit, and a love deeper than the deepest ocean, I ask for your hand. I ask for your love, your companionship, your trust, and your time, for all the days of my life. Will you marry me?”

Remember, consistency is key – recurrent praise or criticism can hint at the jeweler's true caliber.

But, as is often the case in the digital realm, not everything that glitters is gold. Reviews can sometimes be manipulated, either boosted or suppressed artificially. Stay skeptical of extremes, whether overly glowing or harshly critical, and focus on moderate, detailed feedback.

These groups extend their seal of approval to jewelry stores that adhere to strict quality standards and ethical business practices. This can be a surefire way to start your search on the right foot. It's how organizations like Helzberg Diamonds have earned their stripes, demonstrating commitment to high standards and ethical practices. It's all about starting your search with trust and quality at the forefront.

The jewelry world is a tight-knit community, almost like a group of friends who've known each other for years. They share insights, stories, and secrets that we might not see on the surface. Speaking to these insiders can provide a fresh perspective on the reputation and craftsmanship of their peers, akin to knowing the behind-the-scenes tales of a magic show.

Local jewelry designers are like your hometown heroes. They are innovators and creators who pour their heart and soul into crafting unique pieces. They are the dreamers who take the road less traveled to bring us designs that match, if not outshine, the larger retailers. And hey, supporting them also boosts your community spirit.

Before You Visit The Jeweller

1. Look Beyond Price
Choosing a jeweler isn't just about comparing prices. It's about figuring out what's important to you and aligning it with a jeweler's ethos and practices. Are ethics and sustainability at the top of your list? Then consider jewelers who demonstrate transparency and commitment to these principles. Do you value personalized service and quality craftsmanship? Check if their design aesthetic aligns with your personal style. Is trust crucial to you? Look into their customer service reputation and longevity in the business. By acknowledging these aspects, you can discover a jeweler like Helzberg Diamonds that goes beyond being a simple merchant to becoming a trusted partner in your jewelry journey.

2. Revisiting History
At this narrowing-down stage, take a moment to revisit the history of the jewelers still in contention. Their longevity in the business can provide immense reassurance. Long-established jewelers, like Helzberg Diamonds, carry a wealth of experience and credibility. They've stood the test of time, their reputation honed and quality assured over years, even decades. Delving into their stories offers you insights into their consistency, resilience, and dedication – crucial factors in finding a jeweler you can trust and cherish.

3. Retail Balance
Shopping for jewelry is a bit like ordering a coffee – you want it hot, strong, and quick, but you often have to compromise one. This is the retail triangle principle in a nutshell: fast, cheap, good – you can pick only two. So, while sales and discounts might dazzle you like a sunlit diamond, remember not to get too lost in their sparkle. Quality is the true crown jewel, something that Helzberg Diamonds has championed since its inception.

4. Silent Endorsements
Affiliations and accreditations are like the silent cheerleaders in the corner, their very presence vouching for the reputation of a jeweler. Helzberg Diamonds' certification from the American Gem Society is akin to a gold star on a report card – a symbol of their commitment to high standards and ethical practices. These “silent testimonials” lend credibility, ensuring you that the jeweler is dedicated to their craft and worthy of your trust.

5. Ease of Purchase: Delivery, Shipping & Returns
Buying jewelry should feel like a cool breeze on a sunny day – smooth and hassle-free. If the jeweler's policies on delivery, shipping, and returns are as easy to navigate as a quiet sea, then you're in good hands. Helzberg Diamonds shines bright in this aspect, offering free shipping on orders over $99 and an easy refund process. That's customer service done right, making your purchase just as enjoyable as flaunting your new piece.

Meeting Your Jeweller & Final Choice

1. Store Vibe
Stepping into a jeweler's store is like entering a whole new world. The ambiance, service, and unique experiences are all yours to explore. Stores like Helzberg Diamonds even offer a no-pressure Diamond Room that feels like a safe space to discover and dream. It's like being Alice stepping into Wonderland, only this time, it's a world of glittering jewels.

2. Pure Quality
In the jewelry world, transparency is just as crucial as the quality of the jewels. Trustworthy jewelers will open their treasure chest of knowledge, proudly showcasing the origins and quality of their materials. Helzberg Diamonds does this with panache, their commitment to quality and ethical sourcing as brilliant as the gems they offer.

3. Eco-friendly
Every choice we make leaves an imprint on our planet. Therefore, partnering with a jeweler who values sustainability is like giving a nod of thanks to Mother Nature. Like Helzberg Diamonds, who have set their roots deep in sustainable practices, jewelers who respect nature's resources and commit to environmental responsibility help us accessorize with a clean conscience.

4. Smart Financing
Acquiring jewelry should not leave you feeling like you've just taken part in a grand heist. Reputable jewelers will have fair and transparent financing plans, guiding you toward making a wise investment. Just like how Helzberg Diamonds offers various plans, designed to suit different budgets and needs, thereby ensuring that every purchase feels as comforting as your favorite quilt.

5. Friendly Chat
Establishing a connection with potential jewelers should be a friendly conversation, not a courtroom interrogation. Asking about their design process, pricing strategies, repair services, and the like can shed light on their dedication and craftsmanship. Many of the points we discuss below will provide you with the right questions to broach in these conversations. Consider it like a getting-to-know-you date with your jeweler, a conversation over a virtual glass of wine. This step helps you gauge if their values align with yours and if they can truly become your trusted jewelry partner.

6. Personalized Service and Understanding You
Just as a tailor would measure you for a perfect suit, a jeweler should tailor their service to fit you. They should understand you, your unique style, and the stories you want to tell with your jewelry. A jeweler like Helzberg Diamonds can make you feel like you're in a rom-com where you, the customer, are the star.

7. Secure Investment
When choosing your jeweler, look for one that offers a sturdy safety net for your sparkly investments. Comprehensive policies on returns, warranties, insurance, and care ensure you won’t be left out in the rain if something goes amiss. It's like having a good friend who's got your back, just like Helzberg Diamonds with their array of care plans.

8. Artistic Drive
Behind every glittering piece of jewelry, there's a story of inspiration. Discovering this story can help you see if the jeweler's style and passion match your own. It's like peeking behind the curtain of a Broadway show to understand the magic that brings the production to life.

9. Creative Journey
An artist’s masterpiece isn’t solely found within a frame – the secret sauce often lies in the unobvious, the unwritten. The same goes when sizing up potential jewelers. Look beyond the glittering gems and observe the details that make up their universe. What's the vibe in their store? Is it filled with quiet elegance or does it dazzle with cheerful energy? Can you spot meticulousness in the placement of every brooch and bracelet? Take, for instance, the no-pressure Diamond Room at Helzberg Diamonds, where their commitment to customer comfort and quality is almost tangible. Your intuition is your superpower in this process, trust it, and it will guide you to your dream jeweler.

10. Deep Expertise
Knowledge is a jeweler's superpower, allowing them to create pieces that are truly timeless. A reputable jeweler should be an encyclopedia of gems, metals, and styles, their knowledge as extensive and diverse as the treasures in their display. The trusted advisors at Helzberg Diamonds exemplify this, their expertise a beacon guiding customers toward making informed decisions and choosing pieces that truly resonate with them.

Embarking on the quest to find your perfect jeweler is truly a thrilling journey, one that's filled with glittering prospects and beautiful discoveries. With these tools at your disposal, you're ready to navigate the jewelry landscape, confidently seeking out quality, craftsmanship, and customer service that makes your heart sing.

Remember, choosing a jeweler is about more than just finding beautiful pieces. It's about forging a bond of trust and understanding with an expert who shares your vision and passion. For many, Helzberg Diamonds has been the shining beacon guiding them on their jewelry journey, turning dreams into glittering reality with their commitment to quality, customer service, and ethical practices.

As you set forth on this sparkling quest, remember the importance of enjoying the journey as much as the destination. After all, every step is a chance to learn, to grow, and to embrace the wonderful world of jewelry. So keep your eyes on the sparkle, trust your instincts, and let your journey to find the perfect jeweler begin!
