It’s rather unusual to find an Australian brand in Texas, particularly a bridal shop, but that is exactly what
So let’s talk about this shop for a moment and then I’ll give you a peek around along with my very own CREATE THIS LOOK guide at the bottom. The new Grace Loves Lace showroom in Dallas combines locally sourced furnishings with imported foliage, giving it a bit of a boho coastal vibe, which you’ll soon see in the tour.
Founder + Designer Megan ZIems with her children
Inspired by the design and architecture of the founder’s home, Designer Megan Ziems, this space is, “the perfect blend of Australian décor and Southern charm”. You can find plenty of natural light, soaring ceilings, recycled timber, antiques and pottery, custom-made mirrors, and leather and gold accents in this space which is a perfect contrast to the white floors, walls and of course, the lace dresses. The result? Beautiful, warm and inspiring! I love the dark wood with the delicate lace and pottery most of all. It’s so unique.
When doing some research for this story, I learned quite a lot about the business including a fun fact: Grace Loves Lace has the “Most pinned bridal dress on Pinterest”, a dress that the founder designed that woman all over the world fell in love with –
I hope that you enjoyed the interior of this retail space. I find that it’s nice to see how shops are designed because often I get so many ideas for my home from shopping in all sorts of spaces along with museum and cafe visits. Inspiration for the home can come from the most unlikely spots. Even a bridal shop can be a jumping off point for a new design idea for your interiors. Seek inspiration everywhere, through as many channels as you can soak in! It’s really all about exposure to beautiful, well-designed things. The more you train your eye to good design, the better at design you will become. Really!
