We make lace wedding dresses to your measurements in our own atelier in Gaziantep, Türkiye. We work with French lace, Chantilly and guipure, and this page shows how to tell them apart. In the US and Canada, duties and taxes are already in the price.
Lace gives a wedding dress pattern and texture. One design keeps it to the sleeves, another carries it from the neckline to the hem. Here are six lace looks, each with one of our designs. Find the one closest to you, open the design's page or message us on WhatsApp.
GloireChantilly is now the name of a lace style, and France's machine-made lace comes from Calais and Caudry. Look at this style if you'd like fine floral lace on the sleeves and neckline. Ours: Gloire, an A-line wedding dress with a boned corset, an off-the-shoulder neckline, lace sleeves and a heavy satin skirt.

OpalineA defined lace edge frames a neckline, a cape or a hem. If you'd like guipure, we can also source it from St. Gallen in Switzerland. Ours: Opaline, with a pearl-beaded corset and a beaded high-collar tulle cape trimmed with eyelash-lace bands.
Ask about Opaline
EstelleWith appliqué lace, floral motifs are placed on sheer tulle, so the pattern stands out while the skin shows through at the neckline and sleeves. It's a covered look that still feels light. Ours: Estelle, a satin A-line wedding dress with a sheer appliquéd neckline, long lace sleeves and a train.
Ask about Estelle
LaceHere the lace runs from the bodice to the hem. If you'd like a classic, romantic look, start here. It suits an indoor wedding as well as outdoor photos. Ours: Lace, with off-the-shoulder lace sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, a sheer lace-paneled corset and a lace border at the hem. For a fuller skirt, see Séraphine.

GalantineA mermaid skirt follows the body and flares below the knee. Keeping the lace on the bodice gives a contrast in texture with the satin skirt. Ours: Galantine, a mermaid wedding dress with a halter V-neck, a bodice in finely embroidered beaded lace and a satin skirt. See more on our mermaid wedding dresses page.
Ask about Galantine
AysellaOn beaded lace, the beads are worked onto the lace itself, on its motifs. We bead some laces by hand in our atelier, and some come already beaded. Ours: Aysella, a mermaid wedding dress in floral lace enriched with shimmering embellishment. For pearl, stone and bead work, see our embroidered and beaded wedding dresses.
Ask about AysellaHave another lace in mind? Choose one of our designs, or send us a photo of a wedding dress you like. We'll tell you which details we can make and suggest the closest design.
This guide covers five kinds of lace: French (Leavers) lace, Chantilly, guipure, beaded lace and Raschel. Choose one to see how it's made, where it comes from and what to look for. Where a point rests on an outside source, the link sits right under it, so you can read further.
French lace usually means Leavers lace, woven on Leavers looms in Calais and Caudry, in northern France. About 90% of the world's Leavers looms are in this area, and lace woven there carries the “Dentelle de Calais-Caudry®” label.
Sources: Sophie Hallette, Première Vision, France Today.
Good to knowA Leavers loom moves at about 2 meters an hour, so this lace takes time to make. Tell us your wedding date early.
Ask about French laceChantilly is the name of a lace made by hand in the town of Chantilly, north of Paris, from the 17th century. The town no longer makes lace, and the name now describes a style.
Sources: Britannica, Connexion.
Ask when you chooseThe name tells you the style, not the origin. Ask where and how the lace was made.
Ask about Chantilly laceWe work with guipure too. On request we can source guipure and embroidered lace from St. Gallen in Switzerland.
Swiss guipureWe'll quote the price and the timing for that choice before we start.
Ask about guipureOn beaded lace, the beads are worked onto the lace itself, on its motifs. We bead some laces by hand in our atelier, and some come already beaded.
What to look forCheck that the beads are worked into the lace's own motifs.
Ask about beaded laceRaschel lace is knitted, so it's quicker to produce than Leavers lace. Leavers lace is woven.
Sources: Première Vision.
Ask when you chooseAsk whether a lace is knitted or woven.
Ask about lace options
From our atelierWe can source your lace from France, Bursa in Türkiye, Korea or China, and guipure or embroidered lace from St. Gallen in Switzerland on request. You choose, and the quote reflects it. The table sums up what we know about each place, with sources where they exist. It doesn't say where the lace on a given design comes from.

Before the country, look at the technique, the design's complexity, the label and where the beads sit. These five points are worth asking about when you choose lace, with a link wherever a point rests on an outside source. Not sure which lace you want? Message us on WhatsApp and we can talk it through.
We make our wedding dresses in our own atelier in Gaziantep, and this one was made to order there. Look at the sheer boned corset, the draped off-the-shoulder sleeves and the lace skirt with its scalloped hem.

Ask about adding laceWe can bead the lace or add pearls and embroidery, colored embroidery included. We'll quote it before we start, and it takes longer.

We keep our designs for each cut and style on their own pages. Choose the shape you'd like in lace and browse the designs there. By style, see our vintage wedding dresses, boho wedding dresses and French lace wedding dresses.
