“That’s It, I’m Wedding Dress Shaming”: 30 Times People Just Had To Shame Ugly, Horrible Or Plain Hilarious Dresses Online
One of the many exciting parts of planning a wedding is when the bride gets to select her wedding dress. However, there’s no accounting for taste, so if the dresses get a little crazy or tasteless, this wedding dress shaming group on Facebook can be like a vicious school of piranhas.
Indeed, there are a million different directions to go when it comes to wedding dresses, so it’s no surprise that not everyone agrees on what looks right. Current styles can change from year to year, and if the couple is interested in tapping traditional styles for inspiration, then the possibilities truly are endless. If you go back far enough, wedding dresses weren’t even always white!
As you scroll through these controversial wedding dress choices, let us know your thoughts in the comments. Is the dress a mess, or did the wedding dress shaming brigade get it wrong?

So Classy!
For The Bride Who Likes To Leave Nothing Left To The Imagination
Love the "fur" placement! I really want to hear what the designer has to say: " This represents The Bride's vulnerability about to embark on her path of sexual exploration..." Or some such nonsense. Sorry it's late; I'm sleepy. It sounds better in my head than typed out...
The Sleeve Length, The See Through, The Ruffles, The Everything Tbh Just Awful
The concept of special wedding garments is an ancient one, but attitudes and styles have certainly changed over the centuries. Traditional wedding dresses in China and other Asian countries, for example, were traditionally red (red is considered an auspicious color in many parts of Asia). In ancient Rome, wedding gowns were deep yellow, while ancient Athenian wedding gowns were violet or red.

The first recorded case of a white wedding dress in the West was when Princess Philippa of England was married to Eric of Pomerania in 1408. This was far from a trend at the time, however, and dresses of various colors and styles were used throughout Europe.

As a design, it's actually beautiful and the bride definitely has an amazing body for it....just a shame it was worn as a wedding dress.
White wedding dresses began to gain traction in the West after Queen Victoria wore white in her marriage in 1840. Some brides chose to emulate her, and later on, people began to associate the color choice with purity and chastity.

Interestingly enough, old photographic processes probably had a role in reinforcing the choice for brides to dress in white. Before color photography, even the most beautifully colored dresses would be captured by photographers in a hundred shades of grey, while pure white dresses would come out more or less true to the day, standing out starkly against the black and grey spectrum of the rest of the photo.

This list makes me want to scream 'JUST LET PEOPLE ENJOY THEMSELVES' very few are actually that awful. Imagine ending up on this list and not having one of the super weird ones. Just remember people have different tastes and budgets, don't be too quick to judge, you may end up on this list one day too ;)
Exactly! That’s just what I was thinking. Some might be objectively bad, such as they don’t fit, but if it fits the person, and they want a bud light train, who cares? Let people enjoy their niche, off-the-wall ideas, and I looked at some, or maybe quite a lot, and thought they’re not bad at all? Doesn’t matter if it’s not your own taste, you’re not wearing it! I hope the genuine bridal photos never see themselves on this list.

Since when was the Met Gala a wedding? Since when were the attendees wearing "wedding dresses"? XD
I am not a prude by any means, but I often wonder why brides want to be so 'showy' on their wedding day. I would feel so uncomfortable around family/friends showing so much skin! Ladies, the right undergarments are your friends!!
What's with all the transparent wedding dresses? Call me old fashioned, but I think see through mesh and lace is better suited to honeymoon lingerie than walking down the aisle in front of grandma.
yep, I am the least conservative person I know when it comes to sex but really - if you are advertising "the goods" to all an sundry your f*****g groom better be in lacy lingerie as well, otherwise I'm calling sexist shenanigans.

I guess I'm not in a mood for wedding dress shaming today... If any of the brides felt beautiful and happy on the day - why not let them be?
That one is so weird, that it becomes good again. I just f*cking love that dress. I'm not planning on getting married, but if I ever do, I want to wear a dress with a Putin angel in judo clothes too.

I think most of them suck, but hey, it's not my wedding, so who cares?
As much as I wish people would find something flattering for their wedding outfits, who cares? If you want to get married w/a garbage bag over your head, kudos to you! Enjoy it. That said, the "designer" ridiculous things shown here are a joke. It's not style or originality, just stupid ways of trying to be noticed & talked about.
Me, scrolling through this: gosh, this is atrocious, I'm gonna draw my ocs in these!
On your wedding day, be your own beautiful self. It’s the one day of our lives where we feel the most beautiful so don’t shame.
60 79 (only the necklane looks bad ig???) and 92 are nice i only would like take off the sleeves so theyre straps at 92
If you think these are bad, look for clips of ‘Don’t Tell The Bride’ on YouTube. A British tv show where the groom had to arrange everything, including choosing the dress. Some of them are equal to a car crash that involved every single car on the planet, they are that bad.
Should've added Brittany Dawn's wedding dresses... Both of them. Such horrible dresses and awful fit too.
