Many people dream of taking part in a loved one’s wedding as a bridesmaid. While shopping for a bridesmaid dress can be exciting, not all dresses are worth celebrating. Like everything in life, however, there are good and bad choices when it comes to dress selection. We’ve collected a series of truly appalling bridesmaid dresses that will make you want to RSVP “no” to these weddings.
Tinker Belles
We know comparing these bridesmaid dresses to Tinker Bell is most insulting to her but it’s possible that the Disney character was the inspiration here. Obviously, the dressmaker did a failed job of following on from the ideation stage.
Both dresses are ill-fitted and frumpy, and belong better on a stage for a child’s show than on a wedding aisle. We know we’re sounding way harsh but we did prepare you ahead of time that we’re not showing you these pictures for copying purposes.
Something Blue
It’s rather customary at weddings for the bride to wear something borrowed, something new and something blue. The ‘old’ stands for continuity, while the ‘new’ looks to the future with optimism, and the color blue supposedly represents fidelity.
This bride chose to rather dress her bridesmaids in what we can only view as old, blue and hopefully borrowed. With any luck, as soon as the wedding finished these ladies were able to return these dresses back to the costume shop.
Butterfly Fly Away
You know that Hannah Montana song “Butterfly Fly Away?” Well, that’s exactly what we’d wish these bridesmaid dresses would do – fly far away! While we do like the butterfly necklaces, the bride should have stopped there with her wing obsession.
These multicolored and poncho-caped dresses are giving us a headache. Plus, the balls of flowers held like handbags aren’t adding any points to their overall result. If we were rating this bridesmaid party, we’d have to give them a hard 1/10.
Two Broke Belles
In case you haven’t realized, these bridesmaids are in fact Max and Carole from the hit sitcom series 2 Broke Girls. Funny enough, the state of the dresses kind of gave away that title.
We know we sound a little harsh but we can’t help but think that they look like Disney’s Belle but on a tight budget. And if they thought the flower hats would help distract audiences from their frilly dresses, they’re sorely mistaken. Sorry, not sorry!
On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink!
We’re inserting that famous line from Mean Girls here because we need some comic relief after analyzing yet another crazy ugly set of bridesmaid dresses. If the fuchsia pink and poofy dresses weren’t enough, the accessories added another layer of bad.
The first crime is the matching hats with veils, followed by the white gloves, and lastly – the ribbon streamers coming from the flower bouquets. We’d sue if we had to wear this on any day!
Let Them Wear Pink
It appears that pink is a popular color for bridesmaid dresses and while we actually like this choice of color, that’s where it starts and ends. Also, we’ve yet to find a frilly dress that doesn’t look frumpy so why people still choose them we’ll never understand.
Lastly, let’s discuss these matching headdresses. As if it wasn’t a lot already to have all the bridesmaids in pink and holding pink flowers, now their heads need it too. Brides need to remember that cliche but true saying of “Less is more.”
