I had envisioned a corset and a shirt underneath it and then I wanted to wear pants.
That was my big thing: I wanted to wear pants.
I really wanted a designer whos got that extra spark, Skinner adds.

Luckily, after trawling the Vogue weddings archive, Skinner stumbled upon the work ofJackson Wiederhoeft.
It was just very over the top and Jacksons style is just so whimsical and so costumey.
Skinner knew instantly he was the designer for herit was a match made in unconventional bridal heaven.

I only spoke to Jackson, and that was it.
Despite being drawn to Jackson due to their kaleidoscopic designs, Skinner somehow still ended up in white.
She did, however, find her pants.

Honestly, it was all about the feeling.
It was the corset with the skirt, she recalls.
We just put that on top of what I already had on.

All my friends saw it and were just like, We are done.
You have to get that.
Once the day finally arrived, the drama of Skinners wedding extended beyond just her outfit.

The exaggerated drama of the outfit was enhanced by that big open space.
I thought that that was really beautiful.
It was a philosophy that extended to her hair and makeup for the day, too.

The hairstylist was like, Hell yeah, lets get that gel out!
She gelled me to the high heavens.
So, before the dancing commenced, Skinner removed the tulle shirt and changed into purple sneakers.

I did want to have a little sexy moment as well because I was very covered up.
It was nice to be able to get my shoulders out.
I feel like a queen in this f-ing thing!
