For many women, the wedding dress is as big a deal as the ceremony itself. It’s something they will repeatedly look back on through photos and videos as part of a momentous day in their lives.
Each bride will have a design in mind. Some of them exude enough glamor to make the cover of Brides Magazine. However, others are more on the quirky side, and you’re about to see some of the most unique ones.
Some of you may find these dresses to be massive eyesores, and we see where you’re coming from.

A Dress Made With Plastic Cup, Knife, Plate, Spoon And Fork
Forrest Hobbs 20 hours ago
It's absolutely fabulous. Looking at the setting, she's in a place where there aren't any fancy dress shops and no-one's got much money. It's brilliant, it really is.
ht79vnw9rh 18 hours ago
Beautiful, creative and original. Anyone with money can head to Vera W**g and pick up a dress, but it takes imagination, resourcefulness and true love to get married in styrofoam. This speaks to me more than any million dollar wedding would. Long live the newly weds!

Thats amazing. Only if you break it down can you tell what its made put off, otherwise its just patterns and textures.

Wedding dresses are supposedly symbolic of purity, innocence, and a fresh start. According to Georgina Scott Bridal, they also denote the bridal family’s wealth, something that has been prevalent since Medieval times.

White wedding dresses have been around since the early 1920s. However, they only became an established tradition in 1957, according to Vogue.
“Even in cultures where white wedding dresses are not the norm—such as China, where traditionally red symbolizes luck and prosperity—some brides change into white dresses for official photographs,” an excerpt from the article reads.

Hot Topic Wedding
Greenkitty 19 hours ago
I like the dress. What I want to know is why are all the men wearing Joker make-up?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 15 hours ago (edited)
It's not Joker makeup. They are juggalos*. That means they're fans of the hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse. They were very popular in the 1990s. *EDIT: The pic is kind of pixelated and hard to make out, but I suppose the mens' makeup could just be regular old "skull" makeup and not juggalo makeup, but IMO it looks more like a juggalo design.

In an interview with Vogue Australia, Godfrey refuses to accept the notion that rewearing a wedding dress should feel sacrilegious. Most of the people who commented on her video agree, as she got mostly praise.
“Daring to rewear one’s wedding gown feels in line with the idea that, yes, the wedding is a life highlight. But no, it’s not the only one,” she said.

As soon as I finish this sentence I'll check with Google images to see if this was at Burning Man. Unfortunately and useful info is buried under a flood of ugly dress results, but when I added [burning man] to the search the AI response said (agreed?) that the "unusual setting" might be Burning Man. If it was there it's a far more conservative outfit than many of the others.

"In 2004 when we married at Burning Man, to express my enduring passion for my husband and for plastic bags, my wedding dress was fashioned entirely from recycled materials: the bodice and net skirt were sourced from the thrift shop, white single-use plastic shopping bags were gathered for the bow and the hoop of the skirt, transparent plastic dry cleaner bags were knitted for the shawl, pieces of white plastic collected from Kehoe Beach embellished the trim and tiny swirls of pink plastic bags were fashioned into roses to decorate the tiara."
