Delicate Details
Once reserved for heirloom tablecloths and vintage wedding gowns, crochet and lace are making an unexpected comeback in the world of modern event styling. Far from feeling fussy or old-fashioned, these intricate textiles are being reimagined for today’s celebrations — adding texture, romance, and a touch of nostalgia to the table.
Ways to Incorporate Crochet and Lace
You don’t need to drape every surface in doilies to embrace this look. The beauty of crochet and lace is in the detail — a little goes a long way. Some styling ideas:
Table Runners & Overlays: A lace runner layered over crisp linen instantly adds dimension without overwhelming the table.
Doily Inspired Coasters: Doily inspired coasters or place cards are a fun way to explore the trend.
Stationery Accents: Incorporating lace textures in invitation suites, menu cards, or envelope liners brings cohesion from paper to table.
Floral Styling: Crochet-wrapped vessels or lace sewn into flowers.
Backdrops & Photo Moments: Macramé and crochet hangings are already popular; blending them with lace panels creates a romantic, eclectic twist.
Custom Crochet Signage: The couples names displayed via a crochet sign.
French Lace Seating Charts : French Lace Signage sewn onto a sheer background that is specialty printed with your guest list or wording of your choice.
