Vintage Wedding Look: Using Doilies

If you're like me, the sound of doilies makes you picture your grandmother's house.  Doilies places so delicately underneath a lamp to enhance the look of the living room or to cleverly collect dust. Whatever purpose it served, the memories of doilies are not that of a modern day girl. Apparently, after extensive research on DIY doily projects, I have to admit that doilies have come a very long way. Today, I have chosen DIY doily projects to give character to an Affordable Vintage Wedding Look.  I am amazed at the possibilities.
