There Goes the Bride	[Cheap Chic Weddings]

Though I've never been to a bridal shower, I have seen my fair share of tv/movie scenes with the make-a-wedding-gown-out-of-tissue-paper bit and none of them have come close to looking as great as this gown made by Ann Kagawa Lee.

On the plus side, she won't have to scrounge for a tissue when she gets all teary-eyed at the wedding, but on the down side, she better pray for sunshine and cool winds, cause rain or sweat would leave her naked at the reception.

I'm really in awe at the craftsmanship and the attention to detail that Lee gave her wedding dress which was apparently part of a contest. She got a $1000 prize for her effort, but something tells me this dress is worth so much more. The other gowns are pretty crazy too. I wonder if she can dry clean this thing?
