  • Jennifer Lee made six bridesmaid dresses for her wedding day. 
  • The dresses were part of a 26-piece collection that Lee made before saying "I do." 
  • Lee, a self-taught designer, told BI that the project inspired her to start a fashion brand.

Long before she got engaged, Jennifer Lee knew she wanted to make the bridesmaid dresses for her wedding day.

The self-taught designer worked every night for 14 months to make that dream come true, creating six bridesmaid dresses — and 20 additional pieces — before saying "I do."
