Aisle Do: Doily Cones

In this column, Ernest Pascual of Bespoke Manila talks about how to DIY your doily cones. With the help of Adrian Ardiente for photos, Ernest shows you how to add these personalized touches for your wedding.

Our aim is to give you and other soon-to-wed couples ideas on how you can personalize your wedding by doing simple do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. We also want to help you create some lovely details to make your wedding extra special. We will tell you what materials to source, the step-by-step procedure, and how the details we have designed look during an actual wedding.
