Beautiful Bridal Handkerchiefs For Your Wedding Day

Please visit my website click on my ABOUT ME Page for link to webstore Nanalulus Linens and Handkerchiefs

It has long been a tradition for brides to carry a lace or embroidered handkerchief on their wedding day. Many of our grandmothers & great grandmothers brought them over from the "Old Country" or handmade their own. In Belgium, a country famous for their lace work, it is a tradition for the family of the bride to purchase or make a hankie. The bride's name is then embroidered on it, and after the ceremony it is displayed in the bride's family home. As subsequent daughters in the family marry, their names are added and then displayed.

This is a Belgium lace hanky with a lace insert, monogrammed with the letter B.

Maybe you are fortunate enough to have a family heirloom to use on your wedding day. If not you can find gorgeous handkerchiefs both new & vintage right here on Ebay.
