A wedding dress made from her grandmothers’ nightgowns
In Huesca, Spain, a bride carried the lace from the family chest into her dress, and every guest’s napkin was embroidered with their name.

Content creator Teresa Úbeda and Alberto married in Huesca on 19 September. The ceremony took place at the Church of San Pedro el Viejo, and dinner was served at Castillo de Corvinos, a Romanesque castle recently restored and turned into a country house.
Alejandra Valero designed the dress, but the material came from the family. Teresa’s mother had kept her grandmothers’ and great-grandmothers’ nightgowns, robes and petticoats for her. At first they thought of using them on the morning of the wedding; when Teresa saw the lace, she decided all of it should go into the dress. “It was very emotional to feel my grandmothers were with me that day,” she says.
The same idea spread to the tables. They were laid with her mother’s old tablecloths, and in front of every guest sat a napkin embroidered with their name, in the same colours as the wedding stationery. The palette was terracotta, mustard, copper and greens.
Stitching family memories into fabric is the real idea of this wedding. A pattern can do the same: the flower from a mother’s tablecloth, the window of the family home, a grandmother’s handwriting. Like a napkin embroidered with a guest’s name, a scarf everyone takes home carries a piece of that story.
