A video has been viral of woman’s detailed wedding dress which only took a day to make at the price of £350 leaving viewers shocked at the speed such a detail dress could be made
A TikTok bride has gone viral after her jaw-dropping wedding dress turned heads for its bold colour, beaded detail and the story behind it.
Benee, known as @Bkziah on TikTok, is Ghanaian and knew exactly what she wanted for her traditional wedding: a vibrant, intricately beaded Kente gown that reflected her culture. But it wasn’t just the design that had people talking – it was the speed, her dream dress was handmade in just 24 hours.
For many, the idea of pulling off a wedding dress in a few days sounds impossible. Weddings are often synonymous with hefty costs and long planning timelines especially when it comes to the dress. But Benee’s journey flipped the script completely, it comes after a woman claimed ‘My friend is naming her baby after a fish – she can’t see how ugly it is’.

In her video, she explains how she designed her dream gown herself and found a dressmaker in Ghana to bring the vision to life. But she quickly found out the process isn’t easy.
“Getting your outfit made back home is not for the faint-hearted,” she warned, adding that while it’s worth it for the cultural meaning, some of the quotes she received were way over budget.
Eventually, Ghana-based designer @Dashis_label agreed to make the dress for £350 which worked out to roughly GH 7,000 in Ghanaian currency.
A few weeks before the wedding, Benee flew from London to Ghana to get fitted – only to arrive and find out the dress hadn’t even been started. “You can imagine my bewilderment,” she said, adding that the delay left her ‘unleashing her bridezilla.’ But within 24 hours, the dress was done and all that had to be done was the final beading.

By the next day, Benee was fully glammed up in her orange, purple and pink masterpiece, covered in glistening beads and traditional detailing. “I was blown away and so impressed by the work they had done.”
A little over a month later, the dress was done and it came exactly how she designed it and Benee explained it made her enjoy the day more saying “there’s nothing quite like feeling good about how you look.”
Videos of her wedding dress has gained huge traction on Tiktok, with people stunned by the design and just how quick it was to make.
