Bride spends 200 hours hand-stitching 22,000 FEATHERS to create her dream wedding dress

A blushing bride spent 200 hours hand-stitching 22,000 individual goose feathers onto her dream dress. Cheryl McGlynn (left), 24, from Middlesbrough, was delighted to wear her one-of-a-kind dress for her wedding after working day and night for a fortnight sewing on the white feathers - which cost £1,200 alone. The mother-of-one runs her own business wedding dress business, Cheryl Holmsrom Bespoke, and spent more than six months planning, designing and creating her masterpiece for her marriage to sweetheart Joel (below right), 25.
