Sweet Modern Wedding Cross Stitch Patterns

by

ampersand wedding cross stitch

It seems like a really traditional thing (to me, anyway) to make a cross stitch for someone’s wedding. These patterns usually have lots of flowers and the couple’s names and their wedding date, maybe a bit of verse from the Bible or a bit of love poetry.

There’s nothing wrong with any of that, but a bit of a more modern approach can be really fun, too.

I was looking on Pinterest for wedding cross stitch patterns I liked and I happened upon two of them I liked that were from the same designer: Stitches Lovers Shop.

Being a grammar geek as I am, I love the ampersand design, where the family name is positioned in the middle of the design along with the wedding date at the bottom. This one costs $6.

Also $6 is the green wreath wedding record cross stitch pattern, which comes in a few different variations and uses the first names and wedding date of the couple — perfect for couples that won’t share a last name or anyone else!

Both are designed so you can change the names and dates yourself, or they will personalize it for you if needed.

Designer Spotlight: Artmishka Cross Stitch

Artmishka Cross Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Italy with lots of whimsical and colorful designs and an emphasis on animals, flowers and landscapes. Let’s take a closer look!

The animal section is by far the largest, and it includes everything from realistic birds to cartoony cats, a set of little chick ornaments for Easter and a blackwork butterfly, to name a few. There are little animals in clothes and scarves, and this sweet folk art style owl in modern colors. 

This one (and lots of them, really, I think) was designed as nursery decor, and it calls for 10 colors, which you can of course change up to suit your decor, nursery or otherwise. The design is 95 by 95 stitches, which comes out to about 7 inches or 18 cm square on 14 count fabric or 28 count evenweave stitched over two strands. 

Another large category is flowers, which includes birth month flower designs, flowers that look hand drawn and colored, floral wreaths with teapots and wedding floral cross stitch designs.

The sampler section includes a variety of small patterns, images with words, colorful geometric and floral designs, and a few holiday patterns. Christmas designs include stamps, Christmas trees, stocking, snowmen and a cute box of snowflake shaped Christmas cookies in a box with a mug of hot chocolate, to name a few designs. 

There are also a fair number of designs in both the landscape and cottage categories. These include iconic landmarks and colorful sunsets, and buildings from beach houses to a mushroom cottage, book shop and a cottage with flowers bursting out of the roof. There’s also a section called girl, which has designs of a little girl in different outfits and situations and  some other characters.

Other categories on the site with smaller numbers of patterns include boy designs, princesses, plants, hobby themed designs (sewing, knitting, baking), art and bookmarks. There are also a handful of cross stitch kits, all of the little girl character.
