Would you crochet your friend’s wedding dress?

It’s fair to say that crochet is having a fashion moment, and it sees no sign of abating soon. Crochet patterns have been making an appearance on catwalks and in high street retailers everywhere, and fashionistas in the know have made sure to be carrying at least one crochet item, such as a beautiful fringe bag or a granny square jacket. This is joyous news for crafters and crochet fans. Not only can they have fun making cool items, but they can be the height of fashion when they wear them too!

But would you consider crocheting your own wedding dress? Or what about for a friend? A crochet wedding dress is incredibly stylish and will be an attractive option for many fashion-forward brides in 2024. But while it may seem like the modern choice, designer brides have been adorning themselves with crochet since the 1960s.

A personal touch

But if the pressure of crocheting an entire wedding dress is too much (after all, it’s probably the most important dress a woman will ever wear), there are lots of other beautiful crochet items that you can create for a wedding day.

Crochet gloves are a modern take on the traditional lace glove, and a crochet bag can be a lovely touch for a relaxed beachy vibe wedding. If these are too advanced and you are still finding your feet with crochet, you could try crocheting blankets. To get started, how about using crochet blanket kits such as those from https://www.woolcouturecompany.com.

Favours

Another cute option is crochet wedding favours. Not only is this cost-effective but it’s a beautiful personal touch. You can crochet bookmarks, key rings and lots more favour-sized items, or even crotchet the bag your favour comes in.
