Shawls and Shrugs

There's an undeniable elegance to crochet shawls and shrugs at weddings. Especially if you're having a classic wedding inside a church or synagogue, shawls and shrugs are respectful must-haves while walking down the aisle. The best part about these free crochet patterns is that you can continue to use them long after your wedding day is over, so you don't have to feel bad about only having worn them during the ceremony. Choose from a variety of styles to best fit your wedding theme and your personal style as the bride.

Accessories for the Bride

The bride deserves some adorable crochet accessories for her big day, as well. Don't limit yourself to shawls and shrugs; be sure to crochet yourself a garter or some earrings to really put that finishing touch on your bridal outfit. These free crochet patterns were picked out specifically for their beauty, so don't go sharing these with your bridesmaids! If you're dying to have one of these accessories on your big day but you're not an advanced enough crocheter, ask someone dear to you to crochet one of these for you as your "something new" for your wedding.
