Accessories for Weddings, Communions and general celebrations ( parties,
other celebrations )
A very special day all over Spain is when little girls receive their first
holy communion. They dress up in pretty white dresses, don white gloves,
wear very special hair-bands with flowers in their hair and carry pretty
handkerchiefs. These are all accessories that can be embellished or made
entirely with lace.
Another very special day is when bigger girls get married. The same holds
true as before, but in this case we are talking about bridal laces, lace
gloves for brides, handkerchief, garter, nightgown, pretty underclothes or
other creative accessories. Let's not forget about the other half of the
marriage, men. A marrying kind of guy needs a lace tie, a special
handkerchief for his jacket pocket, and a pretty cushion to present that
very special ring on that very special day.
Besides these ideas we are sure you can think of others, for example,
jewellery and handbags.
We are anxious to see your ideas
