When making plans for your wedding day, along with the deciding which dress to get, the flowers to fill your bouquet, and making the guest list, don’t forget to use wedding cross stitch to make your day special. You can create wonderful, one-of-a-kind invitations, table favors, a sampler, place settings, and a ring pillow with the many wedding cross stitch patterns available.
Do you know someone who’s getting married in the near future? Why not make them a bridal card or something special that they’ll keep, and possibly display. Match the colors of the flowers or the bridesmaid’s dresses when creating your wedding cross stitch present so that it will help them remember their marital day.
It isn’t difficult to change a colour or two in your chosen pattern and it will make the finished item that bit more special. However, try not to pick two consectutive colour numbers as the difference may be too subtle, miss one number and use the next for better effect.
When you pick out the cross stitch wedding pattern, remember the usual themes - a bride and groom, wedding rings, wedding bells, and possibly doves and hearts. You might even consider creating a completely personal pattern by using the building or church that the wedding will take place in as the focus of the pattern.
You could even take the idea of the bride and groom further and depict them as cute animals such as teddy bears or mice. I was even once asked for chickens dressed as the happy couple!
Wedding samplers are a great way to personalize a cross stitch project with the bride and groom’s names, the date, and the location. If the pattern is very complex, you can simplify the item with the couple’s initials and as a monogram.
You can really go to town with embellishments on your wedding cross stitch. A few seed beads, a little ribbon or lace, maybe some silver metallic thread can all add to the finished piece. Finished off with an attractive card, a beautiful mount or frame, you have an heirloom to help you remember your special day.
