Popsugar Fashion Weddings Leilani Mendoza Wedding Dress This Bride's Wedding Gown Had a Completely Sheer Skirt — Oh, and 50,000 Swarovski Crystals 9 January 2018 by Sarah Wasilak Mr. and Mrs. McKnight #iloveourlife #ohekacastle A post shared by Leilani McKnight (@leilani_211) on Dec 31, 2017 at 9:22pm PST When R&B singer Brian McKnight married his love Leilani Mendoza at Oheka Castle on Long Island, New York, quite the New Year's Eve celebration ensued. Let's just say Leilani beat out every gal you know for the "best festive dress" award — her bridal gown, a custom creation from Sabrina & Mannings Couture, took over a month to create and was stitched with 50,000 Swarovski crystals. Aside from the sparkling beads and stones, which gathered at the bodice and the top of the skirt, Leilani's design was completely sheer. Appliqué completed the train, which swept the floor and met Leilani's long veil. While the reception was obviously something to buzz about, we were most amazed by Leilani's masterpiece bridal look, it being equal parts sexy, extravagant, and unmistakably pretty.
