When I got married we did a lot of DIY – making our own invitations, programs, and centerpieces. I wish I’d known how to crochet – I’d certainly have included yarn! Now I get to crochet for gifts for other people’s weddings! Did you crochet for your wedding? Share what you did in the comments – I’d love to read about it!

Could you show me free tutorial video for crocheting bridal shawl? Because for me it’s a little bit complicated to understand the pattern of crocheting this bridal shawl.
Thank you
Tamara Kelly
Hi yani! I’m afraid I do not know of any video tutorials for this pattern.

I made this shawl a few months ago. It does take a bit of time (took me about 30 hrs) and I had to read things over a few times before I understood it all. But it came out just beautiful and soooo comfy! There are a LOT of youtube videos on crochet out there if you find yourself stuck, you can always look up something on youtube fore claification! You should definitely give it a try tho! You won’t regret it!

When I got married, I made my own invitations, wedding favors, and kept the decorations simple. I crocheted lap blankets out of LB Homespun for my bridesmaids in their favorite color. I think they all still have them.
Lorene Eppolite
Thank you for including my bouquet in your round up, I appreciate it. Hubby, mother, aunt and I did my whole wedding DIY, down to building the actual venue. I did not crochet then either… which is a shame because I have a million ideas now, lol. I did do a wedding for a client with all crocheted flowers. One day I’ll host a huge party, or maybe a recommitment ceremony and I will definitely include lots of yarn!
Tamara Kelly
I hear you Lorene – how I wish I’d crocheted back then!
Keith Evans
Hi Tamara
Thanks for your reply to my comment. I really can’t think of anything more appropriate for a wedding other than bobbin lace and crochet, they make something ordinary into something special. Lurve your collection of weddings accessories.
