Few days back people were talking about making diamonds from the ashes of the dead. Celeste Egan got such diamond, made from her father’s ashes, as a gift from her mother on her big day. Celeste had always dreamt of the day when her father would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. Unfortunately, her father, Mick Egan, died eight months before her marriage due to a brain hemorrhage.

Celeste said, ‘It seemed like the right thing to do for us as a family and for my dad. We think he’d have loved the idea.”

What are you thinking; even you can order a diamond from your loved ones ashes to make them immortal. Mrs. Egan got this diamond made from LifeGem in Hove, East Sussex, who sent the ashes to US to convert into diamond. The process cost £3,550 for a blue 0.32 carat diamond (shown inside corner of the picture).

The exorbitant price that a would-be-bride pays of a wedding gown is disproportionate to the number of times it is actually worn. Most of the times, the gown is worn only on the wedding eve where after it lives the rest of its life dumped in a closet.

Tuija Jarvenpaa, a Finnish designer has devised a solution to the problem by designing a Disposable Wedding Gown. The designer is famous for creating disposable products.

The disposable wedding gown is crafted from shiny translucent white paper and can be embellished with various prints, ornamental cut-in patterns and folds. The gown is designed single-time use only, and is thus perfect for events like weddings. After being worn once, the gown van be recycled or thrown away.

The concept of disposable wedding gown was first introduced in 2005 in a group wedding in which all brides wore disposable gowns.
