CHAPTER 1
Gardenias
Gardenias, best known for their fragrant white flowers and sweet smell, stand for love, purity and joy. Because marriage symbolizes love and purity, gardenias are often used in wedding celebrations. This doily would make the perfect addition to any wedding. Stitch to match the colors of the wedding, or stitch in traditional white.
