Can I be assured of your business?

Our reputation is exceptional. We sell to brides worldwide and pride ourselves on delivering the best service with the best product, and the most unique designs. Our team has over 30 years experience in design and high-end manufacturing with French stretch lace. Our product is so specialised that only a team with this much experience can deliver these results.

We try to cover most questions and info on the website and you can see many of our lovely brides in the "Our Brides" section. We also have images of our studio, which you might like to view to put your mind at ease.

Where are your dresses made?

Our beautiful dresses are handmade in our production studio on the Gold Coast, Australia, by our in-house team of seamstresses. Our exquisite laces are sourced from France and our silks from Italy.

Do you have any stockists?

No. We prefer to maintain our individual and exclusive style. All of our brides worldwide buy directly online through our website or our USA brides may purchase from our New York Flagship Retail Space.

Do I need to pay import duties and taxes?

Import duties and taxes may be applicable in your country. We always recommend to all of our international brides to check with their import/customs department for an estimate cost, so you are aware of any charges that you may be required to pay.

If you add the product you want to purchase into your cart, we have a shipping calculator in the cart, which can be used to clarify prices. Our shipping costs are minimal and we use an International express shipping company that offers online tracking.

Wear it With

Our collection of luxurious lace and silk gowns, skirts and camis in muted hues like ivory, sandstone, oyster and seaglass, look stunning when teamed together for bridesmaids - and have been designed to perfectly complement our range of wedding dresses.

Dressing for a Special Occasion?

We love our classic lace dresses, and adore our new Farrow slip in champagne satin - an effortless, luxurious and versatile dress for your honeymoon, after-party or pre-wedding party.

Winter weddings

Our faux fur jackets - Iskra, Joplin and Unreal Dream - are the timeless, luxe winter staples you’ll reach for again and again. Soft to touch and warm to wear - we’re loving them layered over most of our gowns, or coupled with a Grace tee, denim and sneakers.

Summer weddings

The Loyola shawl provides just the right amount of coverage for a summer soiree. Easy to wear, it looks so dreamy draped over your shoulders on a balmy evening. Wear it with our Summer, Dove and Honey silk gowns, or match it back with the Loyola range.

Simplicity

For simplicity, comfort and style before the main event, throw on a Grace tee or Essential Silk Shirt while you’re getting pampered and prepped. They’re wardrobe staples for the Grace team!

Capes

Unveil your superwoman status in our divine range of capes - hand-crafted from the finest laces and silks. Perfect for those who want a little coverage, they’re a pretty and powerful way to step up your classic gown game.

Testimonials

I purchased my gown online (everybody thought I was crazy) but it was so smooth sailing! I had my mum take my measurements, e-mailed them in to Grace Loves Lace and ta-da…I had my dress 3 months later. My gown fit perfectly and communicating with the GLL stylists half way across the world was an absolute breeze!
– Grace Loves Lace Bride Spirit

A month after we got engaged, GLL opened a London showroom and I cannot express how excited I was to visit the showroom! I thought we might have to visit Australia to try on the Verdelle 2.0! The showroom is utterly beautiful! From the earthy blush décor, the rosé fizz and the super friendly service, the whole experience was just beautiful! – Grace Loves Lace Bride Charlotte

I loved how easy it was to move around in my GLL gown! I tried on a lot of dresses before I went to Grace Loves Lace and didn’t feel comfortable even walking around in them, let alone dancing. GLL gown’s almost feel like you’re naked. The lace is so comfortable, and they accentuate where they are supposed to! – Grace Loves Lace Bride Grace

I loved feeling free and flowy. I didn’t want to feel constricted or heavy in a wedding gown and my dress made me feel so comfortable. The delicate detail in the lace of the gown was beautiful and I love that it was made to fit my body and I didn’t have to stress about gaining or losing weight before my wedding and needing last minute alterations. – Grace Loves Lace Bride Jamie

My GLL showroom experience was incredible. I arrived with my maid of honor, mother and mother in law and they accommodated us with champagne and show room area. My GLL Stylist was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful and was attentive to my needs and concerns as a bride. She knew the brand and the dresses inside and out! The showroom experience was fun and memorable! – Grace Loves Lace Bride Mallory

GLL was the one and only place I visited when wedding dress shopping. I’ve always admired the ethereal beauty of the gowns and just knew I would find ‘The One’ with ease at GLL! – Grace Loves Lace Bride Kendall

I’ve followed GLL for as long as I can remember and always knew I wanted to be a GLL bride. I am lucky enough to live close to the Gold Coast, so naturally I attended their stunning GC showroom. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable. The girls who work there are experts at their jobs, and the two times I visited I felt welcome, special and beautiful. – Grace Loves Lace Bride Laura

GLL made me feel more beautiful than I ever have in my whole life! – Grace Loves Lace Bride Aubrey

I first saw my dream gown on the GLL Instagram page and it was the first wedding dress i tried on! My friend thought I was crazy to drive 7 hours to the Grace Loves Lace LA showroom for a dress but when you know, you know! – Grace Loves Lace Bride Oksana

Ethical Business & Manufacturing

At GLL, we experienced huge growth and success very early on after launching in 2010. Being the original at what we do and filling such an important gap in the wedding dress market meant that demand was high. This immediate growth brought with it huge pressure in all areas of the business. It was exciting but could have also – like so many businesses have found- been our downfall. The reason we didn’t crumble in these early years was due to our passion, hard work and staying true to what made our brand and product so special in the first place. For us, there is no such thing as success without happy customers and quality product and service. This is why we have the stellar reputation we have, and when dealing with thousands of brides in over 65 countries every year - this is crucial.

From the beginning we have placed just as much importance on customer experience and customer service as we have on our product itself. Our team are completely invested in what we do and how each woman feels when they talk to them on the phone, on email and see them in our showrooms. The level of passion and dedication in our team is what makes us the proudest.

Every product we design is handmade in our Australian headquarters. We do not believe in off-shore manufacturing to save dollars. Keeping everything in-house allows us to maintain our high standards and requirements. We have a team of over 50 now and our cutters, seamstresses and design and production team have exceptional experience and skill, particularly with our unique garment construction and luxury delicate fabrics.

We do not believe in mass production. Each gown is made to order and our ready to wear selection is produced on demand. Everything has a purpose for us, including scrap fabric that would normally be wasted in factories. Most importantly, we haven’t lost our passion- it gets stronger. Every facet of the business is always moving forward and we LOVE what we do.

Showroom FAQ'S

Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes, we do require you to reserve an appointment. This allows for a one-on-one experience with your own GLL stylist.

What if I need to cancel my consultation?

We get it, life happens! We do kindly ask that you provide 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or re-schedule as we are a small boutique showroom and can only see a very limited number of brides in a day.
