help me bring mother's lace gown into wedding day :-)

I'm affraid i dont have any ideas for you but i think it is a lovely way to incorporate something that gave your mom happy memories into your own day! lovely!

I was going to suggest using the lace to wrap your bouquet stems but you already beat me to that idea haha

Thank you ladies! if you have any Aha! thoughts, pass them my way!

I was thinking the same thing about wrapping the bouquets in it i think that would be stunning and really meaningful. would there be a way to maybe make a runner for a sweetheart table or something like that? perhaps you could find a way to incorporate some of the lace into your hair...like glue some onto a pretty hair flower...or...hmm...maybe you could make hankys out of it to use during the cermony and give one to your mom and gma as well. or could you make pocket squares out of it for the groomsman? just some thoughts.

Great ideas! I love the pocket squares and the hanky ideas!!!

You could use some of the lace to create your graters (one to keep and one to toss). Maybe as dollies on the cake table. Maybe as an undercoat for your gown. Maybe in your veil or haircomb. Maybe as your ring bearer's pillow.

wrap made from Bride's mother's wedding gown.

You can always incorporate some of the lace into your own gown. (Even if others can not see it.)

You could also use some of the lace in your mother's corsage behind the flowers...

The first thing I thought of lace banding for your flowers

What style is it? If it has long sleeves or something you could make a bolero out of it, or even a wrap since it might be chilly in April?

What does your veil look like? could you have the lace incorporated into the edges of your veil? or even have a lace veil? What does your dress look like?

Ring pillow? Lace on FG baskets?

As an officiant, not just weddings, but baby christenings, your mom's lace would serve so beautiful as a blanket for your first grandchild.

How about making a shawl out of it?

So many great ideas!!! Thank you :-)

We used my mom's dress to cover the card box and to create a ring pillow.

Wow! I think everyone just said every single thing I was thinking! Beat me to it!
