What a lucky bride to get something with so much thought into it. Hearts are 
always appropriate for a bride. And all the elements!

-What would people choose to do for an older bride who doesn't want 
children, more children, or cant have them?  -

When I had to make a bridal hankie, I used Little Danish Hearts, a Bucks 
version of a traditional Tonder design.  I used a blue gimp around the hearts 
and mounted it on matching blue fabric.  So it was something old (traditional 
design), something new (just finished making it), something borrowed (the 
English borrowed the design from the Danes), and something blue (the fabric 
and the gimp), all in one package.

I had thought of hearts, forgot about the patterns with little horseshoe 
shapes in, which I have used for an edging once.   I always consider the 
blue (and normally used as a gimp) and was just interested in what other 
things other lacemakers might bring into their designs.

the thought processes and answers have been lovely.
