Woman Makes Wearable Wedding Dress and Veil Using Lego Bricks

A woman turned her creativity with Legos into a one-of-a-kind wedding dress.

Satu Aaltonen, a Lego enthusiast from Finland, used the plastic toy bricks to artfully fashion a wearable dress featuring a blue and white color palette, sleeves and a small train, along with an ornate headpiece and veil to match. According to a Lego press release, Aaltonen managed to achieve “fabric-like movement” with the design.

She used thousands of Lego pieces to create the dress, which she has named the “Bride of the Frozen Crown,” per Finnish outlet Yle.

Explaining her inspiration, Aaltonen told the outlet, “I wanted to create something out of Lego that has not been seen before. For me, building is both art and play, but also a meditative counterbalance to my everyday computer work.”

She said she made the dress without any glue. It’s designed so that one side can be opened and closed.

“When moving in the dress, it makes a sound like walking on ice,” Aaltonen noted. “The Lego pieces rattle against each other.”

While she’s proud of its aesthetic appeal, she joked that she “wouldn’t dare” attempt to sit down in the dress. “But you only need to walk to the altar and dance a little at the wedding party,” she told Yle.

Aaltonen shows off her dress being worn by a model in a Vimeo video. In the video’s description, she shared that the design features “1,200 white leaf pieces that form crystalline structures, frozen flowers and a translucent train that shimmers.”

“What looks delicate and ethereal is, in fact, a meticulously engineered structure, built by hand over six months,” the description added.

The wedding dress and veil are currently on display in the 2025-2026 Masterpiece Gallery at Lego House in Billund, Denmark, where the toy brand is headquartered. This year’s gallery features 17 exhibitors from 12 countries, according to Lego.

Highlights include 3D, wall-mounted mosaics celebrating Mexican culture and folklore, a Victorian dollhouse with historically accurate interiors, as well as a Fender guitar and other musical instruments — all brought to life with Lego bricks.

“The Masterpiece Gallery is our way of celebrating the creativity, talent and passion of the global LEGO fan community, and inspiring the builders of today and tomorrow,” Kathrine Kirk Muff, managing director of Lego House, said in a statement. “This year’s exhibitors show just how limitless a LEGO brick can be.”

“We hope guests leave energised to build in new ways, perhaps even with skills they’ve learned in the new LEGO Masters Academy,” Muff added.

As for Aaltonen, she is working on five other Lego dresses that will form a series along with her “Bride of the Frozen Crown” design.

“The greatest compliment is when people are surprised to discover that the dresses are made of Lego bricks. I want to inspire wonder in viewers and show that creativity has no limits,” she told Yle.

Back in 2023, Lego showcased a series of Lego-loving couples who incorporated their passion for the brand into their weddings.

“It’s happily ever after, LEGO style! Get tangled up in these heartwarming love stories, as couples share LEGO inspiration that built the foundations of their love,” the company wrote in the caption of an Instagram post that featured the couple’s creative — and colorful — Lego wedding details, including ring boxes, flower bouquets, boutonnieres and custom figurines as favors.
