Creating Special And Unique Cross Stitch Wedding Gifts
Julia Wigham
A handmade and personalized cross stitch wedding present is a way to give the couple something they will cherish and hand down for generations. It helps solve the difficult question of what to give to a close friend or relative. Whether your cross stitch skills are beginner to advanced, ideas can be found to match your interest.
There are many ideas to consider when planning your cross stitch wedding gift idea:
For a Christian couple, a sampler pattern using the couple's name, the date of the wedding and a Christian cross is an appropriate way to celebrate their ceremony and their faith. For many Christian, their covenant with God is as important as their covenant with each other and your gift can celebrate that commitment.
Another way to create a special cross stitch piece, that is beautiful as well, is to choose a flower theme. Their favorite scripture or a romantic poem may be added to a bouquet or flower border. "Just Married" or "Love of a Lifetime" are short and sweet sayings that can also be added.
Symbolism is big in weddings. Incorporate two rings in your cross stitch piece to symbolize two lives united in love and love that never ends. Or utilize doves-a symbol of purity.
If you are an advanced stitcher with a love for the alphabet, you can create a replica of the couple's wedding invitation. Present it as a framed gift with their actual wedding invitation or give it as a cross stitch wedding piece that they can display in a place of prominence.
The themes for a wedding gift are endless. You can include designs with the lyrics to the song that was sung at their wedding, incorporate hearts, or create a unity candle with the family names of the bride and groom. These are but a few of the themes to choose from
Familiarity with the bride and groom will ultimately make choosing or personally designing your parent easier. Whatever you do the bride and groom will be happy with your gift, and you will know that the cross stitch wedding gift given is a one-of-a-kind present that will be cherished for generations.
