The Lace Guide

Thinking about wearing a lace wedding dress? Well, you’ve come to the right place! You may not know, but there are countless types of lace to choose from when deciding on the perfect wedding dress for you. We’ve laid out the most popular kinds of lace seen on Kleinfeld wedding dresses to make it simple! See the different kinds, below.

Alençon

Alençon lace is characterized by raised cording that follows the pattern of lace underneath. This style of lace is what we consider to be the most traditional lace pattern and is very popular among brides.
