We have a rich and storied history of lace, particularly helping the Irish economy re-establish in the 1800?s after the Great Famine. Local regions of Ireland have distinct pattern qualities, and techniques have been passed between families over many generations. In fact, Irish lace has served Royal Weddings over the years. Queen Victoria transformed bridal fashion with her white Irish lace gown for her 1840 wedding, and in more recent times, also by Princess Diana and Duchess Kate Middleton. If Alexander McQueen isn?t in your budget or style, Irish lace can always be incorporated on table surfaces or carried in a bouquet wrap (which is also traditionally used in christening the couple?s first child, known as the magic hanky). Don?t feel you have to limit yourself to fabrics! Beyond fashion, lace patterns can also be represented in cake patterns, or across your stationery and printed products.
