When a girl asks for a unique wedding dress that's neither a Vera Wang nor Pnina Tornai, what's a guy to do? Think out of the box, of course.

Which is exactly what 25-year-old Lu Kepeng did when he inflated 600 balloons and weaved them together into two wedding dresses.

Lu's bride-to-be, Su Xuenuo, was so touched by the gesture, that she didn't hesitate to don her quirky polka-dotted confection out on the streets of Qingdao, China, for a wedding photoshoot.

The couple attracted a lot of attention in their head-turning getup, but had no problems with posing for impromptu photos when approached by passersby.

According to local media outlets, Lu works as a wedding planner, which means he's no stranger to unique requests. Lu told reporters that the dresses only took him a night to make, and it was his way to show Su his love and dedication towards their future together.
