Wedding Cross Stitch Patterns Ideas and Gifts

It seems that summertime is the best time for a wedding. The weather usually cooperates by throwing some love in the air and making sure the special day is rain-free. If you are invited to a wedding this summer make sure you come with a unique gift in hand and not just the boring toaster.

Why not stitch up a one of a kind gift for the happy wedding couple that they will treasure for a lifetime and will become a family heirloom? The patterns below are just a sample of the patterns out there. From funky to more traditional, there is a cross-stitch for everyone.

Mr. and Mrs.

Patterns Template / Etsy

There are so many traditional ways to celebrate the bride and groom. You could get them antiques, or a piece of China, but fashions fade and more than likely, the platter or silverware you buy them will end up at the thrift store.

Instead of the same old boring gift, why not stitch an elegant cross stitch with the date they were married. Patterns Template creation is both elegant and traditional. If black and white are not in the color scheme, you can certainly use the colors of the wedding or the household.
