When this bride found herself in a time crunch to get the perfect dress before her wedding, she put her creative skills to work.
Kika explained that she had a really clear vision of the square neckline she wanted for her wedding dress, but struggled to find one that fit her vision online. With only seven weeks to plan, she also was afraid that if she ordered a dress online it wouldn't make it in time.

"I've received messages from people all over the world telling me I've inspired them to take up knitting again or to learn it which makes me so glad.
