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....

Oh, Golly!
But...if it’ll make me look a foot taller and/or 20 lbs. slimmer, I’ll consider it, LOL!

The hens ARE currently molting; I’ll tell Husband to be on his BEST behavior, LOL!

Fashion-wise, I hate it; primarily for the bottom. I agree with the poster who thinks it looks like dredlocks. I love the top portion though.
Philosophically, however, I love the uniqueness of it. The sheep are just adorable too.
To: Albion Wilde

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!LOL -- but it's possible! Add a little ostrich around the edges...

And there will always be a bad rash, too.Since she raises them, I guess she's used to them. It looks like there is a silk lining to the dress...

Coulda been worse, I guess. But it’s a shame the wool she raised wasn’t woven into some of the amazing fabrics English wool can become—feather-light, even semi-transparent yardgoods comfortable in the warmest summer. People think of wool as being only suitable for cold weather and don’t know how versatile it is.

To each her own, though.Yep -- it's not for everyone; but it's perfect for her and her way of life as a sheep raiser. Your plans for your daughters' weddings sound nice!

Could someone tell me why I got here? I’m not clear on why I got pinged for this thread.
To: Diana in Wisconsin
If I ever get married again, I just don’t think a chicken feather wedding dress would look as nice, Should the need arise, I will personally drive to WI with my glue gun and glue each feather onto a lovely sheath just for you. (Because, I think it could be just as awesome as the wool)
