And the bride wore white - long, curly white strands of wool.
Louise Fairburn, who is an award-winning sheep breeder, decided to get married in a fleece from her own flock.
She designed the gown and took wool from her favourite rare Lincoln Longwool, Olivia.
And she extended the theme to the rest of her big day, putting her groom Ian, 42, in a waistcoat made from wool.
Mrs Fairburn even carried a Bo Peep-style crook and the ring bearer's cushion was made from a fleece....

Fashionistas, this is the most original and lovely hand-made wedding dress and theme that I have ever seen — what do you think? God bless this couple who exalt in their English rural way of life.

That is absolutely AWESOME! I raise laying hens. If I ever get married again, I just don’t think a chicken feather wedding dress would look as nice, LOL!

I loved the story, and the dress.
I’ve already sent the story to others. One is a Brit who is sure to like the story too. : )

I looks like it would itch, and I don’t like the drop waist. The bridesmaids aren’t all that, either. But I agree with the God Bless them part.

I hate to say this, but I don’t like it.
She did a great job with the top.
To each her own, though.
Each of my girls plans to have a Polish Wedding with all the girls in ribbon skirts, aprons and flower crowns. This lady may not like that either.

As long as they didn’t dance down the aisle like idiots, I’m fine with it :)

I think it’s cool, and I think she looks lovely, in her own special way. :-)

I like it. Not wild about the top but a really cute idea and story. TY for posting it.

Since she raises them, I would say, yeah.

No, but chicken feathers and some fresh, home-made tar would be a great accent for any divorce.
