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!

Doily Inspired Wedding Gowns

Posted on | March 20, 2009 | 8 Comments

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.

Posted on | March 13, 2009 | 2 Comments

I totally fell for these necklaces and headbands because they have one of my favorite things in common, doilies. So pretty for a wedding or for everyday dress up. This is luxury you can afford. My favorite is the necklace above. Can you believe it’s only $22? Check out more at treeandkimball’s shop.

Flower Hair Pins from Handle & Spout

I love a flower pin tucked into my bun in the springtime. A flower makes me feel so feminine and maybe a bit french. Made of silk taffeta and tulle from handlespout.com.
