Wedding Lasso

Hm. I've never heard of this. But here's a bump.

Didn't make mine but here are some on etsy

https://www.etsy.com/market/wedding_lasso

If you look through enough photos maybe you can gauge what you will need from there.

This is the one that I purchased. I wanted a rosary one. This one sells for $58. I know that some are made out of white silk rope as well.

@carebear are you buying your own or do you have "sponsors" who will gift it to yall?

This is the one we ordered. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GSWVZ80/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1437705510&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&keywords=wedding+lasso&dpPl=1&dpID=51I00YZw7-L&ref=plSrch.

Our sponsors didn't gift it to us. We bought ours.

@simpleseamstress and @kris they are beautiful!

@ Ely I was hoping to borrow one from one of my friends. But... my best friend had her added to this amazing shadow box and I would hate to ask her to remove it. My other friend who got married borrowed her brothers from their wedding in Mexico. So I am going to have to buy it, make it or con someone into getting it for me. Maybe I should wait until after my shower and see if someone gets it for me. If I put the word out there maybe someone will gift me one, great idea!

Thank you everyone who responded all of your links are amazing!!!

@amie you are right I might be able to count the beads in some of the photos and figure out how many I should need if I make it.

I thought it might be a money saver to make it AND I can keep it for when our children get married and pass it down to them! heirloom!

What is a wedding lasso?

Here is the explanation @Maltese

@carebear in our family, it's tradition that we invite padrinos (sponsors) for the lasso, they are the ones who put it on us and therefore they purchase it for us. it's usually a married couple you look up to. That's the route we are taking, I'm just trying to come up with a nice way of asking if I can pick it out! lol... this is the same case with the arras (the coins).

My FH family is Mexican and he was raised Catholic. He doesn't really follow that faith anymore but still has ties to it. I was raised Christian so Godparents (padrinos) aren't apart of my culture or religion. So... we were thinking to have our sisters put it on us because his sister kinda threw a fit that I didn't asked her to be one of my bridesmaids!!!!(I don't even really know her why would I do that?) Anyways... My sister lives very very far and opted out of being IN the wedding so I thought it would be a nice way to include them in the ceremony still. One of my sisters reasons for not being in the wedding was cost so I do not want to ask her to purchase anything for me when she is already putting out so much money in order just to be here with me on my wedding day, which means more to me than anything else.

Ohhh I see! I totally get why you're buying/making it yourself. Show us whatever you end up using. Especially if you make it! I would love to see the finished product

I have been looking at a few to figure out how to make it. I trying to decide on style and the number and size of beads that I would need. Im pretty sure im going to end up making it. I will be sure to add a pic when I am done!!!

Hispanic tradition calls for the best man to get for you guys. And MOH gets the arras if you plan to have this during your ceremony as well.

I've never done that, but it sounds really neat! You'll have to post pictures!!

The swapmeet girl! I have seen some really nice ones and good quality for about 65-70 dollars.

Thanks Vivian! I havent even thought of checking there! I went to Downtown LA thinking they have everything there for cheap and they were still like 100 there. I want a pretty one to keep forever but I wasnt expecting to spend THAT much on it!

@carebear where do you live?

Don't barrow one that and the arrasas are special to the couple even if the padrinos don't buy it try lacraft they are nice and not very costly. Good Luck

@Vivian in Arizona. Thank you @anamaria.
