I have been very excited to finish this album for an upcoming wedding. The lace was mailed to me by the bride and is cut from the fabric her mom is using to make her wedding dress. Paired with the contrasting bookcloth and scalloped edges, I love it, and I hope the bride will too. Best wishes to Katherine & Daniel, June 15, 2012!
Hi! Lovely wedding album. What a lucky friend - I bet she will be over the moon. I found lace to be a real pain to work with as bookcloth but I love the look. Particularly tricky to strengthen and hold the lace without using glue against the fabric (as it would seep through and get on the front). I had luck using Heat n' Bond light and white tissue or gauzy Japanese paper to line the back, then I could use glue against the paper to adhere the bookcloth to the boards. I would love to hear about your process.
