Christina Marie Potter hooks into her experience working in a bridal shop to work a dainty edging for a veil, complete with a bouquet of dainty flowers at the crown. A coordinating purse echoes the flowers at the closure; this clutch would be fabulous in bright colors for summer, as well. These lovely heirlooms won't break the bank, leaving more money for champagne.
