Frock Horror: St. Pucchi endless wedding dress

Frock hORROR.PNG
We've heard of meringue wedding dresses but this one really takes the biscuit, and not in a sweet way either. The never ending wedding dress has 1000's of yards of fabric, which is more than enough to clothe a small army.

We don't even want to think about how long that train would be if it wasn't designed in a pin tuck style. And the weight of this frock doesn't even bear thinking about.

However, we've said our bit so now it's over to you. Tell us if we're making a fabric mountain out of a beautiful molehill or if you agree, in the comment box below.

Frock Horror: Condom Wedding dresses

condom_wedding_dress.jpgWe've been talking about wacky and weird dresses this week in the lead up to Halloween, but we think we've definitely saved the best till last here.

Those of you who are a little bit squeamish may want to look away now as these two wedding dresses are made completely from contraceptives.

The frocks, which were designed to celebrate World Aids Day, aren't intended for human wear, but that hasn't stopped many people complaining about them.

If you were brave enough to show up in a get up such as this on your day, you could kiss goodbye to that honeymoon baby. Well you wouldn't want to waste them would you?

Frock Horror: Beyonce's pretend wedding dress

bet-awards-09-beyonce.jpgKeeping in with today's weird and wonderful wedding dress theme, we couldn't resist sharing this frock with you.

We'll probably never see Beyonce's real wedding dress from her marriage to Jay-Z but we hope the pop starlet didn't turn up in a similar number to the one she wore to perform at the 2009 BET Awards in June.

Not only does this look incredibly uncomfortable, but we can't imagine how our groom would even get near us.

Let us know what you think by leaving your comments below.

Gothic wedding dress. Yay or Nay?

gothuweddinghome.jpgWhile on my search for dresses with subtle tones of colour I stumbled across this. It's, as you can see a black gothic style dress.

Now I quite like this dress, it's different and would be fun for a posh do, but maybe not for a wedding dress, so I want to hear your opinion.

Is this a Nice dress with a difference or a Frock Horror.

Vote below and let me know.

Frock Horror #163: The cocoon

david-fielden-milan.jpgOh dear...what on earth's happened to David Fielden! One minute he's designing some of our favourite fairytale gowns, the next he's exhibiting this perculiar creation. A cross between a snow suit and Orville, it has one of the weirdest 'veils' I've ever seen and is significantly shorter than even the most daring mini wedding gowns out there at the moment. And of course I know that couture dresses are only meant to inspire...but would you seriously want your gown to be a homage to this?

Frock Horror #162: Couture calamity

ian-stuart-bows.jpgAlthough we've been celebrating the more positive aspects of high fashion and its influence on bridalwear today, there's no denying that when it gets it wrong, it gets it so extravagantly wrong. And here comes our old friend Ian Stuart with something that's excessive in all the wrong ways.

The dress, shown recently at Sposa Italia in Milan, has a certain orthopedic quality to it that is not in any way aided by the bows that look to me a bit like Christmas tree decorations. What do you think?

Frock horror #161: Ride 'em, cowgirl

ugly-wedding-dress.jpgI've seen some really rather impressive exmples of 70s-style, hippie chic wedding dresses lately, but you've guessed it - this is not one of them. Whatever Martin McCrea was thinking when he designed Style no. 381 - Sonoran Star, I've got to admit it's lost on me, as I don't associate cowboy hats, white boots or lashings of arm lace with bridal style.

What's your verdict? Vote here!
