Wedding towels

Lace can be present only in the area of ​​short edges.

Union towels, which are used to tie the hands of a married couple, symbolically connect two destinies.

A hospitable embroidered towel is placed on top of the festive loaf - it is the brightest. This work of embroidery art is created without any restrictions.
