The Most Unusual Wedding Dresses Ever Worn By Bold Brides

Our big day is a chance to don some glam rags and show the world what we can do when we make a bit of effort and celebrate our love, right? After all, plenty of girls grow up thinking all about their dream wedding gown and finding their soulmate.

Just because some of us have that dream doesn’t mean everyone always wants to blend into the crowd. How can we be normal when everyone is so different? The funniest wedding dresses certainly give brides plenty of ways to go against the grain if they so please.

Getting married doesn’t have to be a cold affair

Why sacrifice your comfort when you’re walking down the aisle? Wedding gowns might look great on the rack, but it might not be long until so many brides realize just how uncomfortable - and cold - they can be. Thankfully, things don’t always have to be that way if you have some crochet needles and wool to hand.

All you need to do is create the perfect sleeping bag and add a few bridal details, and you should be good to shuffle your way down the aisle. If you want to take things one step further, why not use your outfit as a grand reveal for another wedding gown, like some kind of butterfly emerging from its cocoon?

Elegant peacocks might not be the bridal inspiration for everyone

It’s perhaps no secret that peacocks are known to be some of the most graceful and beautiful creatures on the planet. After all, how many animals could you name who know how to take their looks to elevated levels with the flick of a tail? That doesn’t necessarily mean we need to look to the birds for inspiration.

That didn’t stop one designer from making one of the most unique wedding dresses of all time. What looks fabulous on the red carpet might look a little out of place walking down the aisle, but if there’s one thing peacocks know how to do, it’s steal the scene. Maybe that’s what some brides want from their dresses?

Great architecture might not always make for great wedding dresses

The incredible buildings and ancient architecture of the world have been the inspiration for so many great things throughout the years. In fact, there are plenty of times the iconic buildings from across the world have been used as inspiration on the runway, too. The problem? Things don’t always go entirely to plan when it comes to wedding dresses.

While those faces and figures might look great on ceilings and across gothic buildings, they might not be the thing all of us are looking for from a wedding gown. After all, does a screaming face really scream wedding? Perhaps it does, especially when the groom’s lapel seems to match the bride oh-so-well with those unusual details.

Bringing dessert to the table quite literally

Why let your wedding cake be the only dessert on offer when you can be a snack all on your own? That seems to be what plenty of brides think. That, or they really know how to make a budget and stick to it when it comes to planning their big day and everything they need.

It’s maybe no secret that the wedding cake alone can cost thousands of dollars if we let it, let alone the gown. Why pay for two separate things when you can combine the two ideas into one? Sure, it might be tough to do the first dance or eat or sit or walk, but does that really matter?

Feeling bubble-tastic was never easier on your wedding day

We all want something different from our wedding gown, with several brides looking for ways to stand out from the crowd and create something that’s never been seen before. Still, there might be a reason that people haven’t tried to bring things to life for their big day until now. Are you a fan of bubbles?

Perhaps you want a winter-themed wedding and hope to bring a snowman to life in ways ‘Jack Frost’ could only dream? Apparently, you’re not alone. Still, this might be something that looks better on paper, especially when we start to wonder how this bride is meant to do anything other than stand still all night.

Reducing, reusing, and recycling are making their way into weddings

Plenty of people want to do anything they can to ensure they live as eco-friendly a life as they can manage. They’re not alone, but how far is too far? For some, a shredded paper wedding dress isn’t far enough. That hasn’t stopped some brides from bringing the look to life for their big day.

While it might look impressive, it’s certainly one of the more unusual wedding dresses on the market. Sure, it might be said that it’s lucky to have rain on your wedding day, but we bet any bride wearing this gown to the ceremony will be praying for nothing but sunshine before there’s a reveal no one expects.

Our feline friends don’t have to miss out on weddings

Want a way to bring your feline friend to your big day? You might want to take a leaf out of this bride’s book and make them the star of the show through your wedding dress. After all, there’s no bigger way to make an impact than to have your cat on your gown, right?

As if the idea of having a cat on the bottom of your dress wasn’t enough, this bride has gone one step further by adding a whole host of bling to the look, too. It’s a look that might rub dog-lovers up the wrong way but is one that cat-lovers might need to show the world who they really love.

The day of the plastic cup is still one missing from calendars everywhere

Día de los Muertos is a day celebrated by millions across the world, but that doesn't necessarily mean we have to stick to the same traditions brought to life year after year. In fact, one couple has found the ultimate way to make themselves stand out for their big day and for the holiday all in one.

All this bride needed was hundreds of plastic cups, plates, and spoons to create the gown in one of the most impressive ways the world has ever seen. Sure, wearing plastic might not float everyone's boats, but the intricate details make up for it all. After all, even her bouquet and umbrella are in on the theme.

A little jingle goes a long way for a wedding

It appears there’s no end to the number of ways we can use plastic cutlery to bring a wedding look to life. This time, someone needed hundreds, if not thousands, of spoons to do the job. It’s an unusual decision, but it’s tough to deny just how much work and talent went into bringing this wedding gown to life.

We just can’t help but think about the jingling that would come with this bride walking down the aisle with all of those spoons rattling together. Plus, whoever brings it to life would almost certainly want to ensure they’re wearing more than their birthday suit, judging by how many gaps there are in this gown.

Feel as light as a feather in a balloon wedding gown

We can’t say that we’ve ever seen one bride in a wedding dress made of balloons, let alone two. Perhaps it’s time we all thought about shaking things up for the big day? The more we think about it, the more it could be the way forward. For one, we don’t have to worry about all those alterations.

Need some more room? Simply let out some of the air. The woman on the right has taken things one step further by even adding a veil and bouquet made of balloons for her look. It’s certainly one way that we can float down the aisle to our beloved. Plus, we don’t have to worry about storing our dress afterward.

Everyone might want a slice of the bride in this gown

In the words of Jennifer Lawrence, “Where’s the pizza?” Oh yeah, on this bride’s wedding gown. Using your wedding day to turn into a giant pepperoni offering is certainly one way to tell the world you love nothing more than chowing down on a slice of the good stuff at the end of a long day.

This bride certainly seems pleased with her look, but we’d be more worried about feeling hungry all day if we had to walk around as one of the world’s most beloved food groups all day. Pizza is a food group, right? If you say it with confidence, then anything can be true, including the necessity that is pizza.

Feeling pretty in pink can mean several things for a wedding

Not every bride wants to stick to the same white dress for her big day. Some really push the boat out by adding a splash of color for the wedding, with pink being a color that's proven to be oh-so-popular throughout the years. This bride? She wanted something that went one step further than anyone else.

We're not sure how good fluff and sand go together, but it doesn't seem to be holding this woman back. In fact, she almost looks like she's ready to go from her wedding to the laboratory to act as a living sample that's been grown in a dish for the last few weeks. It's certainly an unusual choice.

Some brides need a little help to float down the aisle

It might not be immediately obvious what makes this wedding gown stand out more than so many others. Sure, the bride has a splash of color entwined up the back details to match the groom, but that’s not the only unusual thing about the look. Perhaps you need a little help to get that floaty feeling?

You could be in luck. That is if you have a few hundred balloons and a pump to hand, as you can bring this look to life at home. That’s right; this bride opted for a wedding dress entirely made out of balloons to help her float - and squeak - down the aisle. Does it get better than that?

Everyone can be involved in the big day with some alterations

Plenty of brides have walked down the aisle with someone else by their side. Welcoming a little one can be even more reason to celebrate the big day, but why should they be covered up with layers and layers of material? That appears to be what this bride thought when she chose her dress for the occasion.

Still, with so many ways to do it, this might not be everyone’s first choice of looks. That didn’t stop the bride-to-be from wearing the dress with pride with her baby bump on full display. It’s certainly one way to ensure all eyes are on you and your belly for the wedding, even if it’s for unusual reasons.

Some brides like to look eggcellent for their wedding

When we think of weddings, we can’t say that eggs are the first thing that come to mind. It could be time to change all that. After all, they can make for perfect appetizers as your guests wait for you to arrive and make for good snack food while everyone is getting ready behind the scenes.

What about taking inspiration from an egg for the dress? That’s where this look comes in. Runway shows are known to push the boundaries, but we can’t say we’ve wanted to feel what it’s like to live as a marshmallow before. We guess someone has, and this collection of material was all they needed to make that dream come true.

The floral scent might be a little much for some brides

It might be no secret by now that investing in everything for a wedding can soon see prices go through the roof. That doesn’t mean everyone has a strict budget they need to stick to, with some couples going above and beyond to make the day as special as it can be. Sadly, flowers can cost a pretty penny.

What about really flexing your wealth and crafting an entire wedding dress from an intricate floral arrangement? It’s one of the most impressive results most of us will ever see. Still, we hope this wedding isn’t anywhere near a beehive, or this bride could be in for a bad time once they realize she’s a walking pollen provider.

Letting it all hang free for the wedding is always an option

Some of us like to wear as many clothes as possible. Others? They prefer to let the world see what Mother Nature gave them without a care in the world. It doesn't necessarily mean that either is right, but what about when it comes to our wedding? People who prefer a breeze have often struggled to find something suitable.

Those days could be over, as the fashion designers of the world have something that's more than enough to make people stop and take notice. All you need are some bottom undergarments and the biggest veil you could imagine, and you might have just the thing you need to walk down the aisle in a way that's never been done.

Wedding dresses don’t always follow the same styles

The more we think about it, the more we’re trying to wonder just how far we should be allowed to go when it comes to designing a unique wedding dress. Sure, it’s a way for all of us to show off our style, but does that mean we can walk down the aisle in anything we like?

It’s things like this dress that make us have questions. Is this meant to be us and all of our personalities tying the knot? All of our demons? Something to give the kids nightmares? We’ll never know, but we can’t say we’re surprised this bride wanted to keep her face hidden from the world while showing this off.

Some wedding designs should be left on the runway

The runway can be a great place to get inspiration for our closets. After all, the big names know what they’re doing and how to set trends, but what about when things don’t go to plan? Fairytale weddings are some of the biggest and most wanted celebrations across the world. Think all things woodland animals and rustic.

Why use the same templates that so many have used before when you could stand out from the crowd instead? While incorporating deer antlers might not have been the trend that many saw coming for weddings, it appears that’s the hill this designer has decided to climb in one of the most unexpected ways possible.

A wedding dress should always represent our personality

Finding the best dress to showcase what we feel like on the inside. This bride knows how to put the fun in funky with her wedding dress, and it might be the most understated part of her look. We don’t know what gives us this idea, but we get the feeling this bride might like a tattoo or two.

There was only one way she could ever get married, and it was in a dress that was full of fun for the big day. Amazingly, the gown might be the most understated part of it all. Still, her headpiece is the thing that ties the entire look together, with some delicate flower additions across the rest of the outfit.

Why bring the bar when you can be the bar instead?

There ain’t no party like a bar-themed party, right? One of the best things about weddings is the reception when the stressful part is done, and everyone gets to let their hair down for the night. Still, there is more than one way to be the life of the party - and this could be the funny wedding dress we need.

This bride decided to skip the long lines at the bar and become the center of it all instead with her special skirt, which meant she was the real bar on wheels for the night - literally. While she might be channeling Marilyn Monroe with her look, it appears this bride knows how to party with the best of them.

Orange is the new white for one blushing bride

How is a couple meant to plan their wedding looks? Do they go for something matching, or do they try to keep their outfits separate for the day? With so many choices, it leads to a host of options for couples-to-be. We guess orange must have been the color for the day for one pair.

Not known for being the most understated color, this orange stands out even more as it’s splashed across just about every aspect of the look. From the giant rose on the skirt to the orange veil, all of this ties the groom’s suit together in ways that make this pair almost impossible to miss in a crowd.

Sharing the love is easy for some at weddings

Getting married is supposed to be a celebration of love between two people. It can be easy to forget about it all when we get caught up in the stress that can come with planning a wedding, but that hasn’t stopped one bride from reminding everyone what they should be thinking about for the day.

Sure, we could keep things understated, but where’s the fun in that when you could go all-out instead? From the love heart top design to the love hearts all over the skirt and everything in between, there’s no shortage of love here. Even the choker seems to have some glistening hearts, all perfectly tied together with shimmering pink.

This bride is really lovin’ it

Okay, most of us know that we should stay away from fast food if we want to stand a chance of maintaining a balanced diet, but where’s the fun in that? We should all get a little treat every now and then, right? That could be all some of us need to take a leaf out of one bride’s book.

We dread to think how many meals it took to get all those papers in order to make the skirt and bouquet, but we can’t help but be impressed. The best bit? Even the bottom of the bouquet is made from a McDonald’s carton, while the trim on the top reminds everyone just how much this bride is lovin’ it.

Is there ever such a thing as too much tulle?

Certain fabrics come and go from the wedding trend. For years it was all about the lace details. Then there was the time of the satin dresses. What about tulle? The material has long been pushed to the back, but this designer looks as though they’re bringing it to the mainstream, whether we like it or not.

We guess it certainly gives a couple somewhere to hide if they need a moment for themselves or if the bride needs a second to compose herself. The best bit? All she needs to do is get down on the dancefloor and show off her breakdancing moves, and she won’t have to worry about vacuuming either.

Some wedding dresses take hours of concentration

Not all wedding dresses are made to be worn. Sure, that might sound like an odd concept, but what if you could create something that’s so out of this world that it blows everyone away? That’s what some people hope to do, including the one behind this look. It certainly checks some of the boxes.

Big skirt? Check. Fitted bodice? Check. It’s got the things that so many brides love, but there’s something unusual about it all. It appears to be made out of paper, which, the last time we checked, might not be the most durable material to use for a big day. Hopefully, there won’t be any rain in the forecast.

It’s not just the mothers of the couple that get to enjoy big hats

Have you ever heard the older generation talking about whether or not they need to buy a hat? They’re not wondering if the weather is going to turn or if they need to protect their hair. Oh no, they’re hoping that wedding bells could be on the horizon and if they need something to see in the big day.

Why let the mothers of the bride and groom be the ones that get to have all the fun? This bride decided to call the ‘80s and find something suitable to use down the aisle. The best bit? If it does start raining, everyone can take shelter under her hat until the storm passes and the celebrations continue.

Now you see the bride; now you don’t

Just because some of us love to be the center of attention doesn’t mean everyone feels the same way. Some of us just want to blend into the background, even when we’re the ones getting married. Need a way to hide without people wondering where you could have gone? Why not take advantage of the wonder that is camo?

You might need to look a little closer to realize this isn’t just some darker detail on this dress, as the folds on the bride’s skirt are actually filled with green camo. It’s an unusual choice, but one that means this bride can get away from the crowds by hiding in plain sight whenever she needs.

Some wedding dresses cause more outrage than others

It didn’t take long for people around the world to share their thoughts on this designer wedding dress. Although some loved the bold and brave look of it all, others couldn’t help but wonder what they were thinking - and what bride might want to bring this to life. Apparently, it’s the lack of skirt that got so many people talking.

While lace might be a popular choice, it wasn’t for this crowd. Of course, it’s tough to ignore the cockatoo-like headpiece that completes the look. Add in a host of bling and long train to bring up the rear, and it’s not long before you have one of the most unusual wedding dresses the runway - and world - has ever seen.

Things come alive when denim meets weddings

Let’s face it; plenty of couples hope their big day will be unlike anything else the world has ever seen. It can be tough to find a way to keep things fresh and new - until the perfect idea hits. You’re a couple that’s known for your love of denim; why not add a touch to the big day?

Apparently, it’s not as hard as it seems. While the groom opted for a pair of jeans to complete his look, it seems the bride wanted the world to know just what she did with her day. That might be why she had “wifey” emblazoned across her behind, just in case anyone was confused by the white dress.

Being ready to rock doesn’t stop when you’re getting married

What happens when you have a wedding at 10 but need to be back on the steam train to be a part of the industrial revolution by 2? You don this wedding gown and check two boxes at once. Steampunk is something that’s taken over the world throughout the years, and it appears even weddings can enjoy the style.

Sure, tophats have long been reserved for the groom, but it’s time to change. Of course, it wouldn’t be something special without adding some towering feathers to complete the look. Sometimes, we just need the confidence to walk into a room so that we can all enjoy bringing a look like this to life for our wedding.

Mama June did anything but blend in at her wedding

Okay, it’s perhaps no secret that Honey Boo Boo and Mama June have always stood out from the crowd. The irony? Wearing a camouflage wedding dress meant that June did anything but blend in during her big day. In fact, it was quite the statement piece as the bride walked down the aisle with her daughter.

It appears camo was the pattern of the day, as Mama June added splashes of orange to keep her look fresh. We guess it means they don’t have to change if they planned on a hunting trip for their honeymoon, but we’re not sure how many brides will be looking to recreate this look any time soon.

Here comes the bride - or does she?

Just because we’re about to celebrate our love in front of our friends and family doesn’t mean that all of us want to be the center of attention. After all, some couples feel like throwing a big wedding just to keep their loved ones happy. Want to compromise and hide while giving them what they want?

This could be the dress for you. Just when you think you might sneak a peek at the bride, you realize there are still tons and tons of layers of material keeping this blushing bride away from the crowd. At this point, we’re not even sure if it’s the actual bride under that look or not.

Becoming a tasty snack is easy for some brides

If you have a sweet tooth, you might know better than most how tough it can be to stop thinking about your next sweet treat and focus on what you’re meant to be doing. We’re not sure if this bride wanted something to snack on or if she wanted to show off just how much she likes candy.

Whatever the case, that sure is a lot of candy wrappers that were needed to bring this dress to life. At least sticking to Cadbury’s meant she would always have the same shade of purple. After all, there’s nothing worse than not getting things to match, right? So long as all of those wrappers have been washed…

No one has to miss out on the big day with an unusual wedding dress

Hands up if you love your pets more than most things in the world? You’re not alone. In fact, plenty want their four-legged friends to be there for the big day in various ways. This bride could have just opted for a photo shoot with her sheep while the guests made their way to the reception.

Where’s the fun in that when she could wear a gown made from her friend instead? While that might sound like something out of a horror movie, it makes more sense when you realize her pet is a sheep. While it might look great, we can’t imagine how heavy or itchy that gown must have been for the day.

We don’t always have to leave things to the imagination

It might be no secret that summer weddings are the most popular of them all. Still, they’re not always fun for those involved when the sun comes out and the temperature creeps toward those triple digits. Thankfully, there might be a compromise; it just means that nothing’s left to the imagination for the rest of the guests.

All you need are some white undergarments, and you’re almost good to go. You know that veil you love so much? Why not take it and wrap it around the rest of your body? Now, you have a gown, but you don’t need to worry about getting all hot and sticky as you celebrate your love.

Cheer, cheer, cheer because the bride is here

Let’s be honest; it can be tough to let go of the past. Some of us think we’re still in high school, even though it’s been years since we last walked those halls. While there’s usually no harm in it all, some might be confused when we use our high school activities as the basis for our wedding day.

That didn’t stop this couple from grabbing some new cheer uniforms and posing for shots on their big day. We guess it’s a good thing they added “Bride” and “Groom” to the front of their shirts because it might not be tough to get confused about what’s going on at this ceremony. At least they seem happy, right?

Horror weddings see all kinds of looks come to life

Plenty of brides love all things spooky and want to use that as the basis for their big day. We’re not sure if this bride loves a good horror movie or if her red accents accidentally turned her into something out of the latest slasher movie. Whatever the case, it’s not a wedding gown we can say we’ve seen before.

It looks as though this bride should be on the run from the law rather than walking down the aisle in this look. Even whatever is in her hand looks almost like a cable tie and has us wondering what she has been doing before the ceremony. We just want to know what the groom wore for the big day.

There are all kinds of ways to get to a wedding

With so many wedding gowns on offer, how is someone meant to choose the perfect one? We’re not sure what it is, but we get the feeling that this couple is known to break the rules and go about life as they please. Maybe that’s why the bride ended up with a wedding dress that’s unlike anything we’ve seen?

It almost looks as though the gown was sucked into an airplane jet before she walked down the aisle, as the shredded look is real with this one. We’re not sure how they ended up with so many aspects of a gown all thrown together, but we guess this is what happens when you want every idea in one look.

The Guy Fieri game is strong with the flame

We didn’t know Guy Fieri had gone into fashion, but we guess it makes sense. After all, the TV chef is known for his flame shirts; why not turn them into an entirely new branch of his business? We think this is a look that even Fieri would be proud to rock as he walked down the aisle.

Still, we want to know if the bride went all the way and opted for some frosted tips to complete the look. After all, you can’t be half-hearted when it comes to bringing Fieri to life. At the very least, we hope those flames helped her zoom down the aisle to meet her loved one at the end.
