Bride's Video Breaks The Internet As She Finished Knitting Her Wedding Gown Four Days Before Her Wedding, Despite All The Setbacks

Some wedding stories are memorable for the dress alone, and Kika’s took that idea to another level. She decided to knit her own gown, then kept going through moving boxes, deadlines, and a few very real setbacks.

Veronika Lindberg Heino, known online as Kika, documented the whole process on Instagram while preparing for her wedding with Jukka Heino. What started as a creative challenge turned into a race against time, especially when the bodice did not fit and the sleeves kept causing trouble.

By the time the dress was finally done, only a few days were left before the ceremony, and the internet could not look away.

She ordered 2.5 kg of pure silk yarn and announced her plans to her followers on Instagram

A design is the first step in dressmaking. Since she had never knitted a dress before, this project was no exception to the rule that nothing worthwhile is simple.

Kika found versions of her dream dress in designs by Dior, Chanel, and Ulla Johnson that inspired her further

She then sketched and planned the patterns. After all that, the knitting began!

That is where the pressure really started to build.

The biggest struggle was finding enough time for knitting since they were in the process of moving and organizing the wedding at the same time

About two weeks in, Kika finished the bodice and tried it on for the first time; it was glaringly out of proportion. The bride-to-be tore it all apart and started again after being disappointed but not giving up.

In addition, Kika found it amusing but time-consuming to fix the sleeves that kept slipping and revealing a tiny bit too much. She continued on since she had no other choice and the wedding was just one week away.

A big setback occurred as her bodice was far too big, requiring her to rip it all up and start again

One more issue came along with the slippy sleeves that kept on slipping, revealing a tad bit too much

Positive feedback from her followers kept her motivated, and the commitment she had made to the project from the start gave her a sense of responsibility. Finally, the work was completed.

When she put on her dress for the ceremony, she couldn't have been happier with the outcome. She had finished her dress on Tuesday, feeling more exhausted and frustrated than excited.

Wedding timing can get messy, like the etiquette dilemma of revealing pregnancy at a best friend’s wedding.

The dress is coming out fine

The total time required for the process was about 45 days or approximately 250 hours, and 1.5 kg of pure silk yarn costing 300 euros, or about $295, which is a bargain when compared to wedding dresses, which often cost $1,800.
