I wouldn't have put that on Sarah, too fru-fru for me.
I did get this which I loved. Christening cap to wedding hanky
My mom's friend made it for us, so it's really special, but I've seen these around other places too.

I am glad they did not think of recycling the bridal lingerie.

I personally really dislike those headbands on baby girls...so I'd have to go with no way...

The one my mom's friend put in said:
For A Special Baby
For a special baby
Loving thoughts and nimble hands
Created this little bonnet
Of fine lace and ribbon bands.
At first it was a handkerchief
But with some stiches small
A bonnet was made for downy head
To be admired by all.
Mother will carefully store it
Gently pack it away
After years she'll take it out
Before her daughter's wedding day.
She'll snip the tiny stitches
Place it in her daughter's hand
To carry, as a hanky, down the aisle
And receive her wedding band.
Mother's son will find good use
For the square, when he's a young man
He'll give it to his sweetheart
When he asks for her hand.

Re: baby headband to bridal garter... what do you think?
My mom bought similar ones for the girls for their Christening. I thought it was so sentimental. 
Now I just have to figure out how to store them and remember where I put them 30 years from now...come to think of it, I have no idea where they are already!
