When one of our clients approached us with the idea of using doilies, I thought it was such a novel idea. One that wouldn't cost the earth and at the same time be easily incorporated into most aspects of the wedding.

When incorporating doilies, you don't necessarily have to use the real thing all over, perhaps bring in the patterns or incorporate lace detailing. Adding elements such as fairylights to the doilie strings could work very well in the garden and for outside decor. You can also incorporate it in your bouquet (by wrapping around the stems) or add doilies to your favours.

I love how some brides have even gone as far as using doilies as cocktail umbrellas for pre-drinks, confetti cones as well as seating place cards. It really is up to you how much or how little you want it to be a part of your wedding theme, as this would influence how you would go about using them.
