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 3 days 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 2 days 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!

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 2 days ago
I like the dress. What I want to know is why are all the men wearing Joker make-up?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 days 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.

“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.

This will be an unpopular opinion but regardless of context (I have seen it several times under bad prom dresses)...there is a possibility she was happy to be pregnant and wanted to celebrate it. Even teen pregnancies don't always turn out tragic. Plenty of fully grown adults were pregnant at their weddings or had old enough children to participate in the ceremony. So I can't judge. Even with her expression I have to admit I'm terribly unphotogenic and always look angry by accident 😆

As soon as I finish this sentence I'll check with Google images to see if this was at 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."
