Tying the knot in crochet! We were thrilled to hear about a couple who got married in California this year, not least because the bride crocheted her own wedding dress. Yes, as part of Jillian and Dax's small-scale wedding day, Jillian combined crocheted doilies and deconstructed a vintage dress pattern for the bodice to achieve the perfect dress for her big day. To view more stunning images of Jillian's crochet wedding dress, courtesy of Gia Canali, visit www. thepictureperfectwedding
