I crocheted my wedding dress and groom’s tux — haters say it’s tacky but we love it
This bride’s really moving the needle.
Spinning the yarn of her love story into wow-worthy wedding wear came as second nature to crochet couturier Tymesha Triggs, who handcrafted her floor-length bridal gown, as well as her groom’s tuxedo, for their June 29 nuptials.
“It was a Crotchet Crochet kind of wedding day,” cheered Triggs, a needlework fashionista from Ohio, in the Facebook caption of her and hubby Ricardo Scott’s DIY “I Do” attire.
Triggs, the owner of Crochet Crochet & Accessories in Cincinnati, stitched the fab finery for herself, Scott and two bridesmaids in just 30 days with “no sleep,” she joked online.
The crafty clotheshorse complemented her big day dress, which she completed in a week’s time, with crochet earrings, hook gloves and tiara. Triggs accessorized her guy’s ensemble, which took her about 10 days to string together, with a crochet hat and ornamental tux pocket.
Both her maid and matron of honor donned aqua-blue numbers with slits and decorative straps.
Since tying the knot, the newlywed designer has virally nicknamed herself and Scott the “#CrochetCouple.”
And their hooked-needle look’s got social media hooked.
“This is absolutely beautiful… so talented and creative. Love love,” raved an impressed onlooker.
“The coolest thing I’ve ever seen in a long time,” another gushed.
“Yes you did that!” wrote an equally commenter. “Congratulations.”
But Triggs isn’t the only super-skilled sweetie to engineer her own holy matrimony gear.
Big Apple bride Esther Andrews spent nine months hand-knitting her wedding dress while commuting to work on the subway.
And Morgan Rusinko transformed her “hot” frock into cutesy cocktail couture, chopping off its tulle skirt just moments after exchanging vows with her new husband.
“POV: Your wedding dress is too hot so you cut it during the reception,” said the ballsy brunette in the closed caption of a TikTok post featuring her impromptu cut.
The clip garnered over 12 million views from stunned spectators, including fear-mongers who warned Rusinko she’d be sorry for making the impulsive slice. But her haters would ultimately live to eat those words.
“No regrets,” gushed the ever-satisfied bride.
