The bride has since gone viral on TikTok, after she revealed she bought her dress from the fashion retailer Shein for just £36.
Speaking to Good Morning America, Kiara said she didn’t want to splurge on a dress that she was going to wear once for just a few hours.
The silky white dress looks incredible, and it’s hard to believe it wasn’t purchased from a wedding dress shop.
Viewers of the video were seriously impressed, one wrote: “The days of getting wedding dresses in the 1,000’s are OVERRR.”

Many couldn’t believe the bride’s budget of just £390 covered the dress, decor, tuxedo, hair, makeup, cake, food, venue and chairs.
In another video, Kiara showed how she pulled off the stunning event while saving money.
Kiara got married on a public hilltop at sunset, meaning she paid nothing for the venue itself.
The couple also saved money on the wedding cakes and flowers by being gifted the items by their friends and family for the big day.
