I Don't Get Haute Couture Wedding Dresses....

I don't get haute couture wedding dresses. Yeah, I know they are made for the media and to get attention to the designer's line. Or to put the designer in the spotlight. But seriously, there is a lot of work put into these dresses....and I can't help but wonder.....Does anyone ACTUALLY wear them? 

These haute couture wedding dresses are by 

Jean Paul Gautier. 

 

She's wearing the chandelier!

One size fits all.

I can just imagine the mother of the groom's face when the bride walks down the aisle in this get up.  I recommend dress tape.  Lots of it!

Take a good look at the models face.  Is it me, or does she have a moustache?

Yes, this is my avatar.  The press nicknamed this dress Jesus bride. 

The mohawk?

The wedding dresses below are by Christian Lacroix

Is this a statue in the Vatican?

Really?  A basket on her head?  And zombie eyes....

Weird Strange Wedding Dress, Its See Through!

I see England, I see France,
I see the brides under pants!
OMG, just when you think you've seen
it all, a designer from Spain designs
a completely see through wedding dress.
I love the interplay of sweet ruffles and
the bib on the front of the dress,
the virginal puffed sleeves and then
its completely see through!!!
I thought it was a costume from the Follies
Bergere can can scene...where the ladies
get naughty with their skirts. But, nooooo,
its a wedding dress!

Are you kidding me? You think you'll ever
see anything like this on the rack at the
bridal salon? Think it will ever be
mass produced?

I can picture the mother of the grooms face
just before she drops on the floor screaming.
Or the face of the officiant as the bride
walks down the aisle. Or the grooms face
as she prances down the aisle in front of
his grandmother and his buddies. This dress
won't pass muster even in granny panties and
granny's bra. Its ridiculous.

Line the damn thing and sell it to some
chick who set the clock back 20 years.
Those hi neck ruffly confections went out
with the 80's. Its a complete head
smacker! And now we know why the
model looks so pissed off....

Lets Hear it For Unusual Wedding Dresses? Would You Dare?

Runway couture wedding dresses are dresses that the
designer makes just for their live runway shows
to create buzz. They don't mass produce these wedding
dresses, they are one of a kind wedding dresses made
to shockand awe the guests and to get their pics in
the magazines. Translated into our world,
these are dresses you could never afford and
wouldn't be caught dead wearing. Its fun to see what
lurks in the mind of the designers.




Yves St. Laurent designed this floral confection,
made to express your inner gardener. I imagine
if you wore this dress to your wedding, your
mother in law would drop dead on the spot.
I love the color combos and this would make
a gorgeous wedding bouquet,



This dress is by Christian Dior and is called
Oragami. It does look like folded paper. I've
always liked Dior, but I think I'll stick to
their eyeshadows and mascara.


Another head smacker from Chinese wedding week.
I can't figure this out, it reminds me of a Space Oddity
with some chicken feathers trailing. This would make a
great a do it yourself project...get a white pillow case,
stick some feathers in the chest, pin together,
attach an old Mardi Gras feather boa and your kids
Star Wars helmet...and voila!



This dress doesn't really qualify as couture.
Its a dress full of LED lights. I wonder where
you store the battery pack. Actually, a few years
ago we did have an LED dress in the bridal shop
by Bonny Bridals, but it was in the lace and very
subtle and pretty. This looks like an auxiliary
backup power source in a power outage. OMG..this
is scary!

Toilet Paper Wedding Dresses For the Disposable Wedding

Every wedding dress in the photos are made from
toilet paper. Some of the designs and work are incredible.
But its still toilet paper! There is a huge joke here,
but I'm going to let you insert your own because my
joke is not G rated.

I have to hand it to these gals. They used a lot of
ingenuity and work in fashioning these dresses out
of toilet paper. All that work is going to be flushed
away.

Which brings up the following questions:
How do you keep your dress together when someone hugs you
or you dance?
What do you do if it rains? Will you be naked?
If you go to the bathroom, will you be held against your will?
If you sneeze, is it OK to wipe your nose on your dress?
And will you be forced to recycle your gown? Like hand
it up in the bathroom and pick pieces off of the gown?
Will it start to fall apart if you start nervously sweating?
What happens if someone spills a drink on it?
If you spill food on it during dinner, do you just pull off that
section so you look fresh?

These dresses won't be handed down to the daughter because
they aren't going to be family heirlooms. The life span of
toilet paper is short lived.

And....is this the answer to disposable weddings?















Jennifer and Doy Nichols celebrate their wedding
at the Charmin Restrooms on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2007 in
Times Square New York. Jennifer's hand made dress was made
using Charmin Ultra Soft and Charmin Ultra Strong.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME???? Wearing a dress
of toilet paper and getting married in a freaking bathroom?
WTF?

I'm Speechless! You HAVE to see these weding pics

My friends in the wedding industry love to share wedding photos.
These just came across my desk.

I'm speechless. Look for yourself.

Nothing like posing in front of a garage.





WTF?
