<br />
Here comes the bride, all dressed in... paper!<br />
<br />
An artist has brought to life the glamorous society wedding of an aristocratic author with costumes made entirely from paper.<br />
<br />
Denise Watson used tissue and crepe paper, card and paper table cloths to create the bridal party's outfits, shoes, hair and even the flowers.<br />
<br />
The wedding of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson at Vita's childhood home of Knole in Kent was a grand affair which made the papers in 1913.<br />
<br />
Denise spent three and a half months crafting the impressive bridal gown, as well as a bridesmaid, flower girl, pageboy and Vita's going away outfit.<br />
<br />
The intricate paper creations have gone on display at Knole, now owned by the National Trust, as part of a new exhibition about the socialite.
