Lace isn't an embellishment. It's a fabric, and a category all its own. The type of lace completely changes the character of a dress. Chantilly is the classic: lightweight, delicate, and soft, usually in floral patterns on a sheer background, which is why it's so often used for sleeves and overlays. Alençon, the Queen of Lace, has raised, corded motifs that give it a sculptural quality and photograph beautifully. Guipure has no net background at all, so it feels bold, graphic, and modern. Eyelet is casual and bohemian, perfect for a garden or summer ceremony. You don't need to know the names. Just notice what draws you in: soft and sheer, or bold and dimensional. Lace works in almost any setting, and it's especially at home in churches, barns, and vineyards.
