Alencon Lace

A mesh lace background that has been re-embroidered to outline the pattern. Traditionally used in wedding gowns, this lace usually has a scalloped border that can be used as an accent and along the hem.

Applique

Lace or trim pieces that are sewn onto another fabric.

Ascot Tie

A wide type of necktie (almost like a scarf) that is looped over and held in place beneath the chin with a tie tack or stickpin. It is reserved for the most formal of daytime weddings and occasions. It is worn with a wing-collar shirt and a gray cutaway (morning) coat that is longer in the back than at the front and gray striped trousers.
