Queen Anne Lace

Queen Anne Lace Crochet Cuff

So the wedding dress! I've got a vision in my mind, I need to translate it into reality whilst developing my crochet skills. A lot of the time I feel I am winging it, probably making lots of mistakes, which isn't terrible, so long as I don't want to create exactly the same thing more than once! 

I'm looking to create lace like crochet - something like Irish Crochet, although I don't want to end up looking like I'm wearing a gigantic doily!

I suppose what I need to do is learn how to create my own crochet designs. If anyone out there has any tips, advice or can point me to an amazing tutorial, please comment.
