There’s something unmistakably regal — even a little mysterious — about a bride who wears gloves.

Once a staple of bridal attire, gloves are making a stylish comeback. Whether you're inspired by the elegance of Grace Kelly, the vintage glamour of Old Hollywood, or the modern fashion-forward looks gracing today's runways, bridal gloves are an exquisite way to complete your ensemble.

Here’s your guide to choosing the perfect pair to match your personal bridal style.

Lace Bridal Gloves: Timeless Romance

If your aesthetic leans vintage, romantic, or European-inspired, lace gloves might be calling your name.

• Chantilly or Alençon lace gloves add a delicate, floral texture to your look and pair beautifully with lace-trimmed veils or gowns.

• Opt for wrist-length gloves for a soft, vintage look, or opera-length for full drama during your walk down the aisle.

• These are especially magical for Catholic or traditional ceremonies where modesty meets timeless elegance.

Perfect For: Garden weddings, cathedrals, vintage-style gowns, or brides who want a dash of French-inspired sophistication.

Sheer Tulle Gloves: Light as Air

Want the gloves without the weight? Sheer tulle gloves are the modern bride’s best friend.

• Barely-there tulle gloves create an ethereal, floating effect — almost like a veil for your hands.

• Choose between plain sheer styles or pearl-embellished versions for a soft shimmer.

• Sheer gloves can be paired with minimalist gowns to elevate the look or with more ornate dresses as a subtle complement.

Perfect For: Modern minimalist brides, summer weddings, or pairing with a sleek silk dress.

Embroidered & Appliqué Gloves: Personal Touches

Some brides are choosing to go custom with their gloves — and we are here for it!

• Think embroidered initials, floral appliqués, or even a delicate heart stitched near the wrist.

• Embroidered gloves can tie in other elements of your day — like your veil, bouquet, or even a tribute to someone dear.

Perfect For: Personalized weddings, heirloom touches, or brides who love to blend sentiment with style.

Satin & Statement Gloves: Bold Elegance

For the bride who dares to be different, satin or colored gloves can add high fashion flair.

• Ivory satin gloves scream vintage luxury, while black gloves give a chic gothic edge.

• Ruched, pleated, or bow-tied gloves create a statement and can become the centerpiece of your look.

• Long satin gloves are also perfect for winter weddings or evening receptions with an upscale aesthetic.

Perfect For: Evening weddings, fashion-forward brides, or bridal portraits with drama.

 A Few Tips for Wearing Gloves on Your Wedding Day

1. Veil Pairing: Choose a veil that complements rather than competes with your gloves. For example, pair detailed gloves with a simpler veil and vice versa.

2. Try Them On: Just like a veil, gloves change the entire mood of your outfit — be sure to try them with your gown and accessories before the big day.

Change up your Look with Gloves

Bridal gloves are more than just accessories — they’re an expression of elegance, individuality, and bridal magic. Whether you choose soft lace, sheer tulle, or something entirely custom, they are sure to elevate your look with grace and sophistication.
