Guipure lace is a style of bobbin lace characterised by the unique way in which its motifs are connected: plaits or bars are used in place of mesh or net. Bridal Fabrics stock an extensive range of guipure lace styles and here are four of our favourites...
Vita: Ivory Guipure Lace
Matching edges frame this tasteful and sophisticated design, which features an all-over floral pattern.
In addition to the 6cm flowers that make up the main design, petite bloom embellishments have been added at intervals: sitting on top of the fabric, these flowers give a wonderful three-dimensional effect.
Lucy: White Guipure Lace
The base of Lucy wedding fabric is a work of art in itself, glittering with Champagne-coloured metallic thread.
Onto this, a series of flowers with small yet eyecatching metallic clusters has been embroidered, each of which is connected to the others by an intricate, hypnotic web of swirls. Identical, irregularly-scalloped borders add the final flourish. ALso available in Ivory.
Gretel: Ivory Guipure Lace
Gretel is is a stunning guipure fabric that has an appealing 'Mackintosh' vibe about it.
Matching scalloped edges surround the design, which comprises alternating bands of striking geometric shapes.
Joanna: Ivory Guipure Lace
A classic guipure lace, Joanna has a paisley and floral theme design that runs throughout.
Both sides of this feminine wedding dress material are identically scalloped.
