Boo Bear's Crochet Barbie Wedding Set

Boo Bear's Barbie Wedding Set
This Post is for Boo Bear.  Click if you want to see Little Miss' Crochet Barbie Wedding Set.

Around Christmastime 2011 (Literally), I started working on Barbie Wedding Sets for two of my sisters.  Both of them adore Barbies, and they are obsessed with playing Barbie Wedding!  Only they just had one simple barbie wedding dress and one formal suit for ken for both of them to share.  They both asked me if I could make them their very own Barbie Wedding Dress, and I told them I would make them a full Wedding Party Set.  They were both excited!  Though they knew that this was going to be their Christmas Present, they also knew that it would not be ready for Christmas.  I had thought about not telling them that I was going to make them a full set, but then I thought much time is going to go into this project.  They should have a say in how they want it to be.  Plus, my mom gave me some good pointers too.  I worked on both sets at the same time, the Brides were done first and the Parents were done last.  From start to finish, it took me a little less than 2 months (7-8 weeks) to complete both sets.  Each was crafted from my own imagination, and everything, down to the shoes was crocheted with the exemption of the actual flowers.  

Read more to see additional photos and descriptions of how I made this set.


The Wedding Party Consists of the following:

Barbie 1 as the Bride
Ken 1 as the Groom
Barbie 2 as the Maid of Honour
Skipper as the Bridesmaid
Stacy as the Junior Bridesmaid
Chelsea as Flower Girl 1
Kelly as Flower Girl 2
Nikki as Flower Girl 3
Ken 2 as the Bestman
Tommy as the Ring Bearer
Grandma Barbie as the Mother of the Bride or Groom
Grandpa Barbie as the Father of the Bride or Groom

Bridal Outfit: 
  • Tiara/Veil - My mom helped me with the Tiara.  Bendable wire was cut then bent in half.  Both ends were threaded through 2 seeds beads.  Both sides were bent slightly then some beads were added, bending and adding more beads until we got a look we liked.  This was then attached to another piece of bendable wire had been threaded with many seed beads and formed into a circular shape.  I cut a piece of tulle, folded it to get two layers, and sewed a simple stitch across to hold them together.  Once this was done, I sewed the veil onto the tiara.
  • Dress with Train - I used a combination of crochet stitches to get the look I wanted.  I started from the top of the dress I worked my way down.  The skirt/train part of the dress was crocheted in a way that gave it a full look.  I sewed several beads at various parts of the skirt/train.  Though if I do something similar again I will crochet with the beads, rather than sew each one individually.  I had thought of that as I was crocheting the skirt, but I was so closed to being finished the dress and the train that I thought it would take less time to sew the beads rather than take apart all I had done to string the beads and re-crochet all I had done.

  • Necklace - I added 3 beads to each chain then attached that to some circles with snaps I had crocheted.
  • Garter - I crocheted around a piece of elastic thread (I don't really know what it is called).
  • Underwear - I sc onto an elastic thread thing then sc many rows finally sc attaching to the other side of the elastic circle I had made.
  • Shoes - I started at the heel, and worked my way around and up.  I used an elastic thread thing to keep the shoe on.
  • Bouquet - I arranged many little flowers and fancy things until I got the look I wanted, I then used gardening tape to wrap around it to hold everything together and give it a clean look.  I then took some bendable green covered wire and wrapped it around the bouquet and the hands of the barbie, so that she would be able to hold the flowers nicely.  Finally, I started to crochet a cover.  I started at the bottom and worked my way up.  When I got to the part were the wire was, I placed the bouquet inside the cover and continued to crochet around until I got it to were I liked it.  Finally, fastened off and used the extra thread to sew in and around the flowers to ensure that it would all stay together well.

Parents of the Bride/Groom
Groom/Bestman/Father of the Bride Outfits:
  • Dress Jacket - I crocheted from the mid-bottom up and then back to the bottom again.  Several rows are worked as the base, then you work the front left of the jacket to the top. Then the front right of the jacket is done. Then the back part of the jacket is worked. Once that is done, you work from the bottom of jacket to give some shaping and a nice edge.  Next you sew the top part together so that it started to take shape.  Next you leave a long tail before starting to crochet from the bottom of the sleeve to the top. Then that tail is used to sew the sleeve together and attach it to the jacket.  2 seed beads are sewn to each cuff as buttons and 3 beads are sewn as buttons to the front parts of the jacket.  Finally, I attached a flower with some random fancy thing I found to the jacket.
  • Trousers - I crocheted the from the top to the bottom.  The waist to the crotch form the base rows.  Then one pant leg is crocheted until done before crocheting the other pant leg.  Finally, the legs and crotch area a sewn up, and a snap is sewn on to fasten them.
  • Dress Shirt - I crochet up and down the first half of the back continuing around the right side to the front to the left side to the back again.  I do some sewing to bring it together then I add a snap to the top back and some seed beads as buttons down the front of the shirt.  Next I crochet a little bow and sew that onto the shirt.
  • Cummerbund - I crochet a few rows and then add a small snap for fastening.
  • Shoes - I crochet the soles of the shoe, then I work my way around and up and finally I add the top part of the shoe.

Crochet Ring Bearer
Ring Bearer's Outfit:
  • Dress Jacket, Trousers, Dress Shirts & Shoes - These were all worked in the same way as for the Groom etc. on a much smaller scale.
  • Ring Pillow - I crocheted two squares in rounds.  I also crocheted a decorative square for the top.  Next I sewed them together with some stuffing in the center of the pillow.  Then, I cut bendable wire into little rings; on one I added a seed bead to be the diamond.  I attached them onto the pillow.  Lastly, I attached some elastic thread onto the pillow, so Tommy could hold it better.
