3D Floral Lace
This uniquely modern lace, shown on Style 2406 Evelina, sits slightly above the fabric for an extra-dimensional feel. 3D floral lace pops out at you, catching the eye and making an extraordinary statement that won’t soon be forgotten.
Cotton Lace
This delicate lace dates all the way back to the 15th century. Soft cotton lace, pictured on Style BL284 Aurora from our Beloved line, is as comfortable as it is casual - for the modern boho bride.
Chantilly Lace
Known to be irresistibly intricate and bursting with detail, Chantilly lace is a classic choice for a wedding dress and usually appears in a delicate floral pattern. Style 2365 Ella is a perfect example of how gorgeous this lightweight and delicate fabric is.
Alencon Lace
This lace originated in the French town of Alencon in the 16th century. Soft floral designs are outlined by heavy threading, making for the most beautiful detail, like on Style C124 Anastasia from Amare Couture.
Basketweave Lace
Appearing in a modern criss-cross pattern, basketweave lace adds a contemporary touch to any wedding dress design. Style 2405 Kendra features this gorgeous lace in increments throughout the fit-and-flare silhouette.
Lace Appliques
Lace appliqués are decorative motifs sewn onto an existing fabric, usually strategically scattered throughout the design. The lace appliqués on Style BL286 Delilah from Beloved are placed far apart on the skirt, gathering together beautifully at the bodice.
Floral Lace
Feminine and timeless, floral lace has been a part of the staple wedding dress look for centuries, and isn’t going out of style any time soon! Style 2409 Emery is an example of how floral lace can be elegant and whimsical all at once.
Sequined Lace
Sequins add irresistible shimmering dimension to lace. Sequined lace creates a more subtle sparkle than beaded lace, as shown on Style 2432 Perry - for brides who are looking for a subdued glam look.
Embroidered Lace
Dating back as early as the 14th century, embroidered lace is woven closely and intricately with a needle and thread. This incredibly detailed lace is as intricate as they come, shown here on Style C150 Blair by Amare Couture.
Beaded Lace
For brides who want a glamorous sparkle, beaded lace is embellished with high-quality beads and crystals, for a modern-yet-vintage look that catches the light at every angle. Timelessly elegant, beaded lace can be found on countless wedding dresses, such as Style C144 Juliette by Amare Couture.
Scalloped Lace Edging
Scalloped lace edging, found on the train of Style BL327 Emerson by Beloved, blooms in sharp or smooth patterns along the edges of the lace. This beautiful detail is found on many modern bridal gowns.
Guipure Lace
This firm, structured lace is also called Venetian lace. Lace motifs are connected with bars or plaits for a closely-packed stitch. One of the most elegant and classic types of laces, pictured on Style C153 Vivienne, Guipure Lace is bold and here to stay.
Laser Cut Lace
A more recent lace style, laser-cut lace creates striking patterns by using 3-dimensional design. This type of lace is cut into various shapes and sewn onto fabric, like Style 2354 Liliana’s floral laser cut lace.
Velvet Lace
Velvet lace is soft and luscious, appearing on Style C156 Ezra by Amare Couture. This unique lace is for the non-conventional bride looking to make an unforgettable statement.
