Pattern description
This romantic cross-stitch captures a classic wedding moment: a couple in formal attire—he in a gray suit and she in a white wedding dress holding a bouquet—framed by a bold red heart outline. The 18-color DMC palette brings warmth to skin tones and delicate detail to the floral arrangement, while the crisp black and white clothing creates strong focal contrast. At 148×148 stitches, this intermediate-level needlework offers enough complexity to engage experienced stitchers without overwhelming beginners seeking their first major project. The finished piece makes a heartfelt keepsake for newlyweds or a meaningful gift for an engagement celebration.
