These 55 Horrible Wedding Dresses Would Ruin Any Big Day

Some girls have begun mentally preparing their dream weddings long before they’ve hit puberty, and many know the kind of dresses they want before they’ve even met their grooms. So, when the big day finally arrives, there really shouldn’t be any excuse for making a mistake – and yet there’s no accounting for taste. Here’s the first of these 80 wedding dresses that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Yep, the pic features atrocious nuptial attire that was apparently painted onto the bride and groom. What would have happened if it had rained?

We’re not sure who had more difficulty breathing: the bride in her fairy princess dress, or the groom buried under layers of dress.

It’s like every Christmas came at once. In fact, this bride could have been the fairy on top of the tree – if her dress wasn’t as big as the tree itself.

It’s possible that this bride’s dress was once stunning, but it’s hard to tell underneath the gangsta-style graffiti.

This tree-decorated gown, worn by Honey Boo Boo's mom June Shannon, was supposed to act as camouflage, unfortunately there wasn’t enough of it to disguise the monstrosity that it is. The neon flowers are pretty bad, too.

Clearly this woman wanted to let her guests know that she felt flamin’ hot in her out-there dress. But it kind of just looks like her wedding was sponsored by Hot Wheels.

This statement-making dress was covered in hearts to signify the bride’s undying love for her groom-to-be – because, you know, a wedding wasn’t a big enough statement on its own.

There must have been a color theme to this wedding, but it’s hard to tell. Anyway, orange you so happy you saw such a sweet couple?

The bride and her limo seem to have been driven through a swamp in preparation for this wedding day. And the less said about the groom the better.

It looks a lot like this poor bride has suffered a major bleed from somewhere – perhaps out of her eyes when she saw this hideous creation.

This one came from the sewing machine of a designer who’s worked with Lady Gaga, and it’s probably better suited to the singer’s crazy stage shows.

Perhaps if you stare at the sequins on this dress for long enough, a better garment will suddenly appear. Then again...

Even the bride doesn’t look too sure about this one. Still, when your groom makes you a delicious dress out of 1,500 cream puffs, how can you say no?

She was trying to hide, but sadly the world saw all too clearly this bride and her poor taste in camouflage wedding dresses.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming volume of fabric making up this gown that meant the bride apparently needed two mean-looking escorts to help her down the aisle.

We’re not sure which is worse: the panel missing from the front of the gown, or the number of doves that may have been sacrificed for the feather adornment.

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and can’t tell where to find them… Oh, wait, she just sheared them and has worn their wool as a wedding dress.

Maybe this ill-advised gown served a dual purpose – should the bride have ever gone into labor early. Still, cutting through a wedding dress would make for an expensive C-section.

The Candice Gwinn Honey Dress is an affordable option for any bride-to-be. But it’s probably best to go for one without this country-style customization, which screams “square dance class” more than “wedding day.”

When she first tried on this dress, there was no holding back the tears. She said it was because it was “so pretty,” but we suspect she may have been weeping for a slightly different reason once she looked in the mirror.

We get that vertical stripes are slimming. But for a wedding dress? Seriously?

Even the groom here has no idea what this dress is supposed to be. But the bride seems to be enjoying it, and that’s the most important thing. Until she sees this photo in a year or so, perhaps.

Stephanie Watson spent a little less than $25 creating this dress from more than 10,000 bread bag ties. Her husband probably thought she looked good enough to eat – but then hopefully he came to his senses soon after.

When someone said that these two were a good match, it didn’t mean that they had to extend it to their wedding outfits. For once, seeing a double rainbow is not a good thing.

And this is what happens when you let your husband-to-be pick out your dress. It most certainly is not a slam-dunk.

The only redeeming feature about the bride’s outfit in this photo is that she’s not actually the worst dressed at her own wedding. That honor goes to the groom.

The bride and the groom were standing by a tree. Wearing the worst attire you ever did see.

When a male peacock shows off his plumage, it’s usually part of a ritual to attract a mate. When it’s stuck to a wedding dress? Not so much.

Hopefully there was a lifeguard on duty at this wedding. The bride was drowning in an ocean of fabric and couldn’t come up for air. Either that or she melted.

The bride appears to have wanted a theme involving an epic mash-up of Santa, Christmas and spacemen. Each to their own!

Odd that the camo wedding dress isn’t even the worst thing about this couple’s wedding attire. With the addition of jeans and cowboy hat for the groom and shades for both, it’s clear that these guys are from the wrong side of the tracks.

This bride didn’t struggle to find something blue for this wedding. Karen Bell’s dress was made entirely from shirts of her favorite soccer team, Manchester City. Classy.

This fur mini-gown is an unconventional choice for a wedding dress to say the least. There’s no doubt that it takes the breath away, if only from laughing at it so hard.

Of course, a bride likes to add her own unique style to her wedding attire. But when it’s held together by a bit of string and good hope, questions must be asked.

Weddings are an occasion to pledge your undying love to your life partner. Some brides, such as this Green Bay Packers fan, seem more concerned with showing their sporting allegiance.

This wedding dress took a team of eight people 12 days and 250 meters of human hair extensions to make. At no point did they stop to wonder if what they were actually making was a big mistake.

Too much, surely?

This bride looks as though she can’t stomach the sight of her dress. Even the groom can’t seem to look at her, which is surprising given how much he’s able to see.

When a wedding dress straddles the line between barely there and just plain bare. This dress is straddling that line. In fact, there’s a whole heap of line-straddling going on here.

This is an example of why the sentimental gesture of handing down a dress through the generations should have stopped in the 1980s. Forever.

It’s very important to coordinate your accessories with your dress on your wedding day. You’ve probably gone too far, however, when your dress matches your fake tan.

When the question is, “What color wedding dress shall I have?” the answer should never be, “All of them.” Now we have a headache.

The outlook for her wedding day was cloudy, with a chance of any dress in the world being less ridiculous than this one. Still, at least the umbrella draws attention away from those boots, which can only be a good thing.

This one looks like a rainbow. Is this what happens when your wedding day is sunny but you’re crying tears of regret at your choice of dress?

This wedding dress was designed in a camouflage-style. It’s no good. We can still see it in all its hideousness.

There may be advantages to wearing a wedding dress without a side panel. However, it probably isn’t the best way to avoid VPL.

Sometimes, the practicalities of a wedding day seem to be the last thing on a bride’s mind when she chooses her wedding dress. You know – practicalities such as actually being able to walk down the aisle…

These two are clearly in love and, for the most part, this dress is pretty nice. It’s just a shame there isn’t a little bit more of it.
