Beaded Weddings

by Jean Campbell

Wedding ceremonies get the full bead treatment in this handbook of ways to add a decorative, personal touch to nuptials. The more than 75 projects are aimed at beginning beaders—but provide plenty of ideas for more experienced crafters—and are perfect not just for brides but also for family and friends. A teaching section introduces readers to techniques that appear throughout the book in projects that defy the idea that beadwork is limited to jewelry. Patterns for tiaras, veils, cake toppers, centerpieces, invitations, guest mementos, and even venue decorations are included, bringing the unforgettable sparkle and shine of beaded embellishment to all parts of a wedding party.

A few nice patterns if you ever want to decorate for a formal affair (but some of the ideas are simplistic or even somewhat ugly). I’m keeping this book mostly for the beaded hair combs, headband, and tiaras. A couple of nice stitched choker style necklaces.
