I came across some adorable doily crafts while I was flipping through some old Martha Stewarts over the weekend. The doily tablecloth overlay (doilies stitched together) was from an old holiday issue but I think it could be sweet for a bridal or baby shower. The doily luminarias (paper doily glued inside white bag) could be switched up for a latin themed party by using hot pink or turquoise colored paper bags. I’m thinkin’ my Mexican Wedding Cookies would be perfect to serve!

I never really write about wedding gowns. But I came across these three and was enamored by the fabric. I didn’t really care that they happen to be wedding dresses. I’ve been eyeing crochet more and more and wondering if it’s a vintage style that’s being revived? The dress above is by Lela Rose. The fabric is gorgeous. Below are two close up shots of dresses from J.Crew. I didn’t share the zoomed out shots because the models looked really depressed and sad. The flowers aren’t crocheted by they do have a handmade doily quality. Really pretty.
