In March, Randall and I went to Spotlight and I found some very pretty lace. I did not have an exact idea what I would like to do with them, but I thought that it would be very nice for all my bridesmaids to have something in common yet different to bring out their individual styles. I have not come up with a colour or theme yet but I thought that lace is something that could blend in very well.
Randall is very likely going to be one of my bridesmaids and it was just perfect that she was there as a live model. Some tentative ideas for the beaded lace (selling at Spotlight for SGD$14.99 per metre):
The beaded lace works very nicely as a choker or a headband. Both will give a very different feel to the bridesmaid; the choker looks very chic while the headband looks very sweet and girly.
I can almost see Randall wearing that choker with a white tank top and a tutu skirt. Very fun, chic and versatile, just like Randall herself. I am not too bothered about being too formal anyway. At the end of the day, I just want everybody to have a great time.
Both projects seem very doable and easy. For the choker, I will simply sew sateen ribbons to both ends of the lace piece and clasps on the other end of the ribbons. As for the head band, all I have to do is sew discreet pieces of felt behind the lace piece so that it can be looped through a plain or beaded hair band.
Perhaps with a little bit more creativity, I can incorporate it onto my wedding dress, so that all my bridesmaid and I will have something in common. With two metres of the beaded lace to play with, I am sure there will be many new ideas along the way.
In fact, I just had a lightbulb moment: I could stick the lace around clear tumblers and use them as wedding decorations! More to come!
