Sha Sha's dress was made for her by her best friend Zhu Zhu, a wedding dress designer, reports New Life Daily. They have worked together at an advertising agency in Kunming, Yunnan province, for 12 years. Zhu Zhu said: "When Sha Sha found her Mr Right I decided I would make her something very special.

"As a wedding dress designer I was a bit bored of making gowns out of fabric so I thought: 'Why not make  a dress out of paper?' It took me two and a half months." The dress is made entirely of cotton paper and decorated with silver lines, making it shine in the sunlight.

Sha Sha walked into the wedding venue, a local hotel, with six bridesmaids holding the long, paper lily flower-decorated tail for her. "I felt very grand, and beautiful. It's super comfortable to wear," she said. Her groom, Mr Li, agreed she looked beautiful: "We are very happy with the dress - but I daren't touch her in case I tear it," he added.
