The bridesmaids should never outshine the bride. Some brides, however, seem to be taking this to the extreme when dressing up their maids of honor. Or maybe time changes fashion trends so much, that after some the style that was "in" starts to look simply ridiculous. Either way, Bored Panda has collected a series of vintage bridesmaids dresses that are so funny, that you'll probably feel sorry for the women who wore them.

The 70s fashion brought outrageous patterns, floppy hats, and undiscernable silhouettes to the mix, 80s fashion later added vivid color, spandex, and space-filling hairdos. No matter the era, though, these absolutely unique vintage outfits would make your silly Spongebob PJs look like a classy suit. Scroll down to check out the images and upvote your favorite outrageous fashion statements!

The dresses day "garden party" but the hats say "yippee ki yay". The groom's tux says "we'll be here all week, try the veal and don't forget to tip your warehouse."

These women at least look somewhat comfortable and like they're having fun

I'm sure the outfits are bad but I can't see them. My eyes are glued on the hair of the guy on the right.

The dresses are blessedly simple. The issue here is the headgear. They look like someone re-purposed Easter decorations.

Now these bridesmaids dresses are cool...unfortunately I don't think the groomsmen suits will ever come back in fashion

I forget how young people got married back the day.....all these fresh little faces. Before someone jumps my s**t....I'm not saying I think it's a great idea to get married fresh out of high school. I'm just observing.

If you go inside the church, you'll see that all of the wallpaper in the hallways is gone.

I wonder if the bride had an open wound that the Dr didn't want her licking?

These would have been considered quite fashionable in the mid-80s.

Pretty sure they bought every roll of red saran wrap that they could find for those dresses.

Ah yes, the shrieking nightmare hellscape opposite to my favorite simple gentle muted green and blue flower pattern-printed cotton sheaths from the 60s pics.

Yes. LOL. In the 80's it was ELL the accessories, BLUSH, and big hair. Their blush is so heavy. It's hilarious.

Perhaps, she became depressed at how ridiculous she looked in that dress and decided to end it all.

More offensive is the 'go faster' blusher. The '80's - the decade style forgot.

I honestly am not bothered by the oddness of the dresses. I just live how happy everyone looks. No one is trying to look cool; they seem genuinely happy to be part of the day.
