Bubble wrap

“Bride is (literally) bursting with joy
Popping bubble wrap is said to be great for coping with stress – so what better to wear on your wedding day than a dress made out of everyone’s favourite packing material? Teacher Rachel Robinson, 30, had the gown made for her by parents of pupils at St Mary and St John’s School in North Luffenham, Lincolnshire. The dress is made from 13ft (4m) of stitched bubble wrap attached to a cloth lining and finished with white foam packing and Haribo sweets. ‘I was very nervous but having the bubbles to pop really helped,’ said Mrs Robinson, who married Duncan Turner in Stamford.”
