What if you use it over a different color & shape it as a heart? Applique this to a background fabric and on the background fabric, write their names and the wedding date. Frame it and present it, or quilt it with a hanging sleeve for them to hang in their home. You could actually make the pillow that you talked about.

Is it from her wedding dress?

What about saving it to use in a Christening gown?

Bed runner with added fabric? Cover for a wedding album? What kind of lace?

the lace is 14" wide by about a yard. I may have to cut the lace down and put a pic of them with the wedding invite and cut a small piece of lace. add some flat sided peals and call it a day.
what do you think?

Get a piece of linen, trim with the lace and make an "heirloom baby bonnet". My children used theirs at their weddings.

Cover a few coat hangers with it. They could be adult or baby or a mixture. They will be a constant reminder and could protect special outfits.

Does she have a special doll she grew up with that you could make a bridal dress for? I have a couple of dolls that I am using my wedding dress to make wedding dresses to give to my two granddaughters. Just a thought.

Make a display for them to hang in their new home. Put the lace over a plain color used in the wedding. Mount an invitation and other memorabilia from the wedding or a picture of them. Embroidery the date and place on a piece of plain fabric (maybe heart shape). Frame it with a long 32 x 12 frame. Even a shadow box if there is anything 3d that you want to put in the frame.
