A Doily Canopy?

[MissRach]

Somebody posted this link a few days ago, and then I blogged about it. I have long loved the symbolism behind the Jewish wedding chuppah, so I thought maybe a doily canopy that can later be a canopy over the bed would be awesome. What do ya'll think? Has anyone ever done something like this? I think I would probably start a stash of doilies now, even though there isn't even a boyfriend in sight!

 

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I have that link saved too. I think it would be a wonderful idea. A long term project, but very doable.

 

I would love to see your progress on this if you decide to do this.

Oh, I would def be blogging this!

 

And I think I will. A doily or two a month is a reasonable goal, I think, and, since I have no intention of marrying until I graduate from college, that would be 48 doilies right there! I tend to think that I will wait until I have all the doilies to put them together, though. And of course, all WHITE!

I think this is a great idea! And it would probably be better to start while you don't have a boyfriend anyway cause when you meet "the one" you might not have as much time to crochet! Tee hee!!!

[MissRach]

Exactly my thinking! I 'spect I will have enough stress as it is once I start getting ready for a wedding without having to crochet an entire canopy too!

That is really cool. My first thought was of an old fashioned parasol, or umbrealla, but that is a wonderful idea!

Ooooh, Judy, that's a GREAT idea! Maybe for the bride to carry during the reception or something! Or just for fun!

 

I love the idea of a parasol!

I remember seeing that and thinking what a beautiful project. I don't think I could do all those in white however. I get so bored doing all white things.

I think you should go for it.

I don't think you'd have to do it in all white if you didn't want to. It would be your canopy. Actually in a variety of colors might be nice. This is kind of a free form type project, but not too much.

I think that would be really cool. I would consider making a canopy for my bed in different colors, although it would take quite a while. I wouldn't make one for my wedding since that is in a year and I don't think I'd get it done in time. Also, I don't think I'll have an outdoor wedding and it might look a little funny inside. But yeah this is a really nice idea.
