Suggestions for Bridal tatting with pearls

[Raven1962]

I am a new tatter and wil be a second time bride and 50 in July. I have bought a string of coffee coloured seed pearls for bead work and I am looking for inspration for using them to make something special to wear ffor the day.

Any suggestions?

I made this last year in size 10 ecru thread and 3mm swarovski pearl beads.




this is how it looks on:

I think it will depend on what you are wearing. If it would go with your clothing than tatted jewelry is a good option.

Another is something for your hair. You could tat some flowers and put them on a head band or make something tiara like The pictures are not of tatting, but of what you could do with some tatting http://www.safashionpolice.com/wp-co...Dress-2949.jpg
make a large flower and back it in ribbons and a clip or bobby-pins.
Another idea is a bunch of small flowers with the beads that are scattered throughout your hair http://www.xpressmobilehairdressing.co.uk/resources/Curly%20Wedding%20Hairstyles%20%282%29.jpg

Non hair ideas would be adding something to your dress on the bodice or cuffs. IF you are wear more of a suit style you could tat up a lace overlay for the lapels. You could also put a simple tatted/bead edge on a veil or the crown of a hat. Again this is dependent on your style.

You could add the tatting to your bouquet and the grooms flower if he's got one. You could put an edging around a lovely handkerchief to hold or have as a keepsake.

Google "tatting wedding" in an image search and you can find some lovely things.

Good luck and congrats!

Antiquarian is right. A fascinator is a great accessory because you can do basic colors for the tatting and then pick colors from your outfit to help set it off. I'm planning to make a few for my son's wedding.

Linda S. Davies made a beautiful one for her son's wedding http://www.intatters.com/showthread....58-Fascinator& It is inspiring me to try one after I finish the keepsake garter, throwaway garter, hankie, and corsage somethingsoranother. (Not sure exactly what I'm doing, but I've picked the pattern and will figure out how to add it when the time comes.)
