Specialty Linens
January 10, 2009
Early in the wedding planning I was flipping through a Grace Ormonde magazine and saw a fabulous head table linen that looked like a couture wedding gown. From that day on, I had been looking online for images of what I wanted and could not find anything out there like this. I also wanted to keep the vintage touch in there so it was important to have lace and since my gown has a tulle hem, I wanted tulle as well.
So my grandmother spent several days covered in tulle to sew layers of tulle together. I will have one for my cake table and one for my 16ft head table. Mandy (whose ML gown also served as wedding dress inspiration) came down this week to cut out around the delicate lace and hand stich the lace on top. I absolutely LOVE the outcome!!! FYI – these will be for sale after my wedding! The fabric was NOT cheap!
Note – this picture was taken on a table much larger than my 3ft rounds and there will be normal white catering linens underneath so that you cant see through the tulle. The tulle is also NOT shiny – I bought good soft tulle for this project but the camera flash is making it look different.
