Father-of-the-bride designs wedding dress

One father-of-the-bride recently did much more than walk his daughter down the aisle – he helped make her wedding dress.

Walter Wallace of Inverness designed and sewed his 21-year-old daughter's gown after numerous shopping trips failed to reveal an ideal dress, reports the Daily Record.

The resulting creation was a cream French chiffon Grecian-style dress with drapes falling from the shoulders.

It took Walter just four months and £300 to give his offspring her dream dress.

"Friends had been teasing me that he'd not get it done in time, but I knew Dad would come up with the goods," Katrina told the newspaper. "It was just what I wanted."

Walter also turned his hand to bakery and decorated Katrina and her new husband Richard Wardrop's three-tier wedding cake with a lattice framework, sugar flowers and a winged fairy.

"I'm so grateful. I wanted a one-off dress and thanks to Dad that's what I got," added Katrina.

Meanwhile, one woman recently donated 20 wedding dresses – all complete with tags – to a cancer Research store in Devon.
