So suddenly the day comes, which the girl, and then the girl and the woman, thought about very often throughout her life. Some with lust and dreams, while others simply with a pleasant thrill in their hearts.
This is the day where everything should be, if not perfect, then as close to ideal as possible. Everything should match the style, taste and mood of the bride. Therefore, no matter what the question concerns - a wedding bouquet, shoes or decoration of a formal hall, it is considered very carefully. The same rules, or rather, impulses of the soul, apply to brides who want to be remembered for their unusualness and originality, and sometimes for the eccentricity and extravagance of their image. Fortunately, the modern market provides many interesting options for unusual wedding dresses, and designers provide ideas.
Peacock feather dress
The peacock feather dress is a little stunning, the idea is truly eccentric. The Chinese designer's unusual dress was made from 2,009 peacock tail feathers along with 60 jades and was displayed in a wedding expo window in Nanjing, China in 2009. The peacock wedding dress was valued at $1.9 million.
Interesting ideas from fashion designers
Fashion designers surprise ordinary people with extraordinary wedding dresses. Not every girl would risk appearing in front of the groom in such a dress:
- Delicious chocolate outfits presented by Lauren Smith. The creation is garnished with chili peppers and orange slices. Some pastry chefs combine cakes into bulky dresses, others create dresses from candied flower petals.
- Casey McMahon offered her vision of the wedding. She imprisoned the girls in birdcages to unite with nature.
- A lush robe made of peacock feathers is the idea of designers from China. The bride turns into an exotic bird, sparkling in the sun.
- Since 2013, the owner has been waiting for an outfit from fashion designer Ginza Tanaka. It is decorated with pearls and diamonds totaling $8.3 million.
- Brave girls decorate themselves with body art. You can hide a scar or mole from view, although some people completely trust the hands of the artist.
The wedding will be remembered forever. And it depends only on the bride what impression she will make on the groom and guests of the holiday in a creative outfit.
Wedding dress with a very long veil
If a bride wants to choose a dress with a long train for the most special day of her life, she must make sure that both herself and her bridesmaids will look beautiful while wearing it during the official ceremony. It may look a little strange, but guests will remember you as the most unusual bride. Of course, if you can adequately manage the train all day long.
TOP 20: The most original wedding dresses of star brides
Socialites and movie and music stars have long taught us that weddings in famous families are always celebrated on a special scale, and brides' dresses are a completely separate issue. When you have millions of dollars at your disposal, you don't want to wear something mediocre on your big day. A star will always want not only to look brilliant, but also to make herself known to the whole world from the pages of the most fashionable magazines or popular newspapers. Sometimes celebrities manage to pleasantly surprise everyone around them, but it also happens that their outfits only cause bewilderment. In any case, their weddings always get into the spotlight. Here is an example of 20 wedding dresses of Western stars who abandoned the usual white dress in favor of something more original.
20. Olivia Palermo wore shorts

At first glance, this outfit will seem quite normal to you, but in reality it is not. Let's start with the fact that the top of Olivia's costume looks like an ordinary blouse with long sleeves, which can only be worn in the office or on a walk. But this is not the strangest thing. Under the fluffy skirt with a long slit, the star was wearing ordinary white shorts! Definitely, you don’t often see such an outfit on a beauty walking down the aisle.
19. Angelina Jolie involved all her children in the dress design

If you remember, in 2014, for her wedding with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie wore a white dress covered with drawings of her children. Someone found this outfit very touching, while others criticized it and called it tacky. The dress was created by fashion designer from the Versace studio - Luigi Massi. The designs covered the entire back of the skirt and the bride's veil. It was definitely a unique idea, and the opinions of others were not at all important to the actress, because the most important thing for her was her family.
18. Marilyn Monroe wore a dark dress

Choosing an unusual or even unique dress is not a new trend. Actresses and other celebrities tried to stand out in a special way many years ago. Even Marilyn Monroe dressed very unconventionally for her wedding, although in those years originality was not valued as highly as it is now. Marrying baseball player Joe DiMaggio, the actress wore a chocolate-colored sheath dress and a jacket with a fur frill. It was quite a classic outfit, but was it suitable for a wedding?
17. Gwen Stefani chose pink

Gwen is definitely one of those stars who never ceases to amaze us with her fashionable looks. However, no one expected that she would also wear something unusual to her wedding. In 2002, the celebrity married Gavin Rossdale, and her silk dress for this special day was created by fashion designer John Galliano from the house of Christian Dior. Agree, Stefani always manages to maintain a balance between femininity and rock star fun, and this pink dress is evidence of that. By the way, the singer wore the original dress twice - for a wedding and then for a ceremony to strengthen marital ties in the same year.
16. Yoko Ono chose a mod-style outfit

At her wedding to John Lennon in 1969, Yoko Ono looked as if she were going to a tennis tournament rather than down the aisle. She had definitely never been a mediocre girl, so her wedding attire was hardly a shock to anyone. It would be more surprising if she chose a traditional fluffy white dress with a veil and lace. Her extravagant costume looked absolutely in the spirit of the popular British youth subculture of mods in those years and consisted of sneakers, high socks, a short dress, a felt hat and huge sunglasses.
15. Jessica Biel's pink dress

Pink is clearly a popular color among Western stars, and Jessica Biel is yet another celebrity to order a wedding dress in this color. “I wanted the dress to look very romantic and feminine, and to be a style that I rarely wear. I've never been crazy about all-white wedding dresses,” Biel admitted. Italian fashion designer Giambattista Valli worked on creating the original outfit, in one of whose previous collections Jessica noticed chic dresses in fuchsia and shades of pink. As the actress recalls, she completely trusted the famous designer, and in the end everything turned out better than she could have imagined.
14. Emma Thompson clearly stood out

This is definitely not the dress that most modern brides will choose. When this British actress married Kenneth Branagh in 1989, she decided to add a little color to her dress for fun. You may think that the outfit came out too theatrical, but in the 80s it was even fashionable. About 30 years ago, this model looked very stylish and modern.
13. Solange Knowles wore a jumpsuit

Solange Knowles is definitely a fashion lover, and it shows in the clothes she wears, but she once made it onto the list of showbiz's most inappropriate wedding outfits. As you understand, this is the sister of the legendary singer Beyoncé Knowles, who has worn a traditional wedding dress countless times during her performances, videos and photo shoots. But Solange probably chose a jumpsuit to ride bicycles with her husband at the gala party in honor of her marriage. In fact, that day she had 6 different outfits, and they were all cutting-edge.
12. Sarah Jessica Parker wore a black dress

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have been together for 21 years. When the couple decided to legalize their relationship in 1997, the actress did not look for the most magnificent white outfit with a veil, but went to her favorite store and bought a black dress that suited her. Yes, yes, it was not even a personal order from the famous fashion designer, because it was simply hanging on a hanger among other evening dresses. At the time, Sarah thought it would be an inconspicuous classic, but in the end, her dress went down in the history of Hollywood weddings with its very unusual color for such a celebration. However, Sarah later expressed regret about her choice, although she did not want to spend a lot of time looking for something completely unique. “I just went to the store that I loved and took what they had hanging there,” Parker admitted.
11. Kaley Cuoco also chose pink

Another fan of pink was American actress Kaley Cuoco. In 2013, she married Ryan Sweeting right before the New Year. The party was decorated in the style of a snow fairy tale, and the bride wore a pink dress. The outfit was created by fashion designer Vera Wang, and the actress later boasted that it was the best day of her life. As a result, the couple divorced after only 3 years of marriage, and the star’s next wedding took place quite recently - in the summer of 2022, and this time Kaley chose a white dress.
10. Emily Ratajkowski was very mysterious

No one expected supermodel and actress Emily Ratajkowski to marry her boyfriend Sebastian Bear-McLard. The painting took place in the mayor's office without unnecessary fuss or prying eyes, and the couple's outfits were the most inconspicuous, so that no one would suspect anything. Emily wore a mustard-colored suit and a black hat, and the bridesmaids also wore pantsuits, and Emily's bouquet was passed from hand to hand literally in secret, so as not to attract attention to the celebrity.
9. Elizabeth Taylor Never Followed Tradition

Elizabeth Taylor got married 8 times, so it is not surprising that at some point this bright woman simply became very bored with traditional outfits. When Taylor married Richard Burton for the first time, she wore a very conservative dress, and the couple remained in this marriage for 10 years. However, 16 months after the divorce, they again decided to tie the knot. However, this time the celebration took place in Botswana, and the bride’s dress was created by fashion designer Gina Fratini, and it resembled a multi-colored hippie outfit, decorated with feathers. Just in the spirit of the 70s...
8. Julianne Moore also didn’t want pomp.

In 2003, Julianne Moore wore a very simple dress for her wedding, which upset her fans a lot. The actress simply did not want to have a noisy celebration and managed to have a party in the backyard of her house without prying eyes. The mauve outfit, at least, was not purchased from a nearby store, but was made at the fashion house Prada.
7. Audrey Hepburn and a tribute to Hollywood fashion of the 60s

Audrey Hepburn has always been a style icon, and all her outfits have become a real legend in the fashion world, but during her second wedding, the actress surprised those around her with a rather discreet light pink Givenchy outfit. The wedding ceremony took place in 1969, and instead of a luxurious veil, Audrey chose a headscarf that was fashionable at that time. The dress was short and looked more like a suit for going out with girlfriends to brunch than down the aisle. As the actress herself later recalled, this outfit brought her back to life and reminded her of her youth.
6. Dita Von Teese chose a rich purple color

In 2005, Dita von Teese married the controversial musician Marilyn Manson. Agree, the wedding celebration of such a controversial couple simply could not be mediocre or traditional. Dina was definitely not going to meet the groom in a regular white dress, so instead of classic colors, the model chose a chic dress of bright purple with blue tints by designer Vivienne Westwood. The wedding took place in a castle in Ireland, and the bride looked simply irresistible!
5. For Dianna Agron, details mattered most.

When the Glee star married Winston Marshall, guitarist for the rock band Mumford and Sons, she wore a $20,500 dress. The tight chiffon outfit seemed literally airy and transparent and was created in the Valentino atelier. In her dress, the bride looked like a graceful ballerina, and the celebration lasted for 3 whole days.
4. Poppy Delevingne chose a cross between bohemian style and hippie dresses

Poppy is the older sister of actress and model Cara Delevingne, so it's no surprise that they look a lot alike. In 2014, Poppy married James Cook, and she had 2 dresses prepared for this wedding. One was quite traditional, and the second you can see for yourself in the photo above. The model's floral outfit was designed by her friend, fashion designer Peter Dundas.
3. Sofia Coppola chose airy lavender

It’s definitely hard to call this a wedding dress. Lavender color is quite pleasant in itself, but most often bridesmaids come in such dresses, and not the hero of the occasion themselves. Sofia Coppola got married in a castle that belonged to her father, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola. Perhaps Sofia wanted something unusual simply because this was her second wedding.
2. Amber Tamblyn was as bright as the sun

Choosing a bright yellow dress for the most important day of a girl's life, Amber Tamblyn clearly turned heads. It is unknown who created this outfit, but it seems that such details are not important to the star, since she showed up to the ceremony barefoot. The actress's chosen one was comedian David Cross. In one of the interviews, it was not for nothing that the star emphasized that there is nothing traditional about her.
1. Cynthia Nixon wanted to feel like a grown woman

In this photo, Cynthia Nixon's wedding dress is hanging on the wall. By the way, on the Internet you are unlikely to find many photographs of the actress in it. However, it is already clear that this is not a traditional white dress. The green outfit was created by fashion designer Carolina Herrera especially for the wedding of Cynthia and her lover Christine Marinoni. As Cynthia herself later admitted, she came to the color green by elimination. “I already knew that I didn’t want white. I wanted to get away from the fantasies of a little girl,” the star said. Marinoni wore a dark green suit to the wedding to complement Nixon's outfit.
Horrible gothic wedding dress
This wedding was done in Gothic style. The not-so-young couple decided to get officially married after 27 years of marriage. The dress code was black, and it seemed as if all 100 invited guests had gathered to send someone off on their last journey. The bride was transported to her wedding in this charming dress by hearse while in a coffin.
Dress with sparkling body
For her wedding with Russian national team goalkeeper Soslan Dzhanaev, Kristina Cherchesova chose an EDEM Couture dress with a pleated skirt and open shoulders, and complemented it with a thin sparkling bodysuit, embroidered with Swarovski crystals. At the same time, the combination looks like a single dress - and very impressive.

The longest wedding dress in the world
After choosing the wedding dress itself, the train is an accent that sets the tone of the event. The length of the train should correspond to the time and place of the ceremony. But this part of an elegant dress can look extremely strange if it stretches for several kilometers. In this case, the plume causes some inconvenience to guests. It’s unlikely that anyone at this wedding looked at the bride, and not at her endless dress.
Interesting accessories for the bride's look
Unusual wedding looks do not always require experimentation with your outfit. You can achieve the desired result using interesting accessories. Combining incompatible things is the main motto of modern fashion!
Casual details
Casual is always about style combined with comfort. Just add a few details to your wedding look and you will immediately feel like a real bride from a movie. To do this, just use a hat, leather or denim jacket, on which you can make a wedding print in advance.
Unconventional wedding shoes
Wedding shoes are a whole world that gives birth to original images of brides. The combination is especially ideal with casual. Sneakers and sneakers for a summer celebration or cool boots for colder weather are what you need for a creative style. The combination of brutal shoes with a fluffy dress is truly incomparable.
But if you still prefer to choose shoes or sandals for your wedding, then in order to create an unusual and unique wedding look for the bride, refuse snow-white shoes. Take a closer look at the color palette of your celebration and choose a brighter and more original option.
Unusual hair accessories
Among all the most unusual accessories, wedding headbands undoubtedly lead the way, which have become an excellent alternative to a veil. It is important to note that voluminous jewelry is in fashion now. Large pearls look especially attractive; in addition to headbands, they can be used in other accessories.
Unique jewelry
Unusual wedding jewelry and accessories are very important for your look, because ordinary earrings and bracelets will no longer surprise anyone. You can replace them with such an original accessory as cuffs, which have just begun to become part of the wedding fashion trends and look really very stylish.
Creative wedding bouquet
An unusual bridal bouquet will also help you refresh your wedding look and give it originality. For this, florists use unusual flowers: wildflowers, seasonal flowers, succulents, pine needles and others. They look like real works of art.
Some brides, in order to emphasize the style of their wedding, show stunning creativity and completely abandon floral arrangements, choosing bouquets of feathers, ears of corn or other unusual elements.
Dress made from condoms
An enterprising and very creative dressmaker made a dress from colored condoms. The idea was dedicated to the 19th anniversary of World AIDS Day. 12,500 condoms were used to create the outfit. The idea is interesting and deserves attention, because it makes you think about very serious problems of humanity. But it is very difficult to imagine the bride in this dress.
Is it worth choosing an extraordinary outfit for a wedding?
An unusual wedding dress should not only suit the bride, but also fit into the overall atmosphere of the celebration. You need to think about how appropriate this or that outfit will be. An original dress will highlight the bride’s special taste. The main thing is to maintain the line between creativity and bad taste.
A good option would be to make your own wedding dress. You can also turn to designer collections. An extravagant outfit can stand out with unusual colors, atypical materials or an intricate design. To complement the look, you can use original decor and creative accessories. The choice is limited only by the bride's imagination.
Dress drawn on the body
How about a wedding dress painted directly on the body? A few years ago in the United Kingdom, a competition was organized between 3 couples who wished to hold their wedding ceremony in this “outfit”. During the preparation process, the competing couples appeared completely naked before the audience in the business part of the city and for a while turned into canvases. The idea has gained a lot of buzz, but it is not very successful for a wedding ceremony.
Wedding toilets in the "Trash" style
Unfortunately, when talking about the most unusual dresses in the world, in addition to beautiful styles, their direct opposite also comes up. And all because, in pursuit of fame, girls decide to go down the aisle in anything, and, as a rule, not a single rating can do without such outfits.
Dress in the form of genitals
Photos of brides dressed in white wedding dresses with skirts decorated with voluminous vaginas in a contrasting color have spread all over the world. And everything would be fine, but only the detailed anatomical details of the hem of this outfit cause at least bewilderment, and at maximum complete rejection and rejection of the image.

Money fabric
Photos of wedding dresses made not from classical fabrics, but from large denomination banknotes, . Dollar and euro dresses are of constant interest, however, it is still unclear whether anyone decided to get married in such a dress. It is worth noting that all the girls who appeared in this image were models, and it is not at all a fact that the banknotes on their dresses were real.
Toilet paper
Another wedding dress in the Trash style, made by some aspiring designer who dreams of worldwide fame. However, the likelihood that this dress will find its buyer is negligible, because it is difficult to imagine how one can put on this complex design, consisting not only of a thick winding in the manner of Egyptian mummies, but also numerous unrolled rolls of paper, which the designer decided not to cut from the hem. Well, there can be no talk about aesthetics.
Yves Saint Laurent
Surprisingly, famous couturiers are also capable of creating frankly disastrous styles of wedding dresses. Yves Saint Laurent and his cocoon wedding dress are a prime example of this. Meanwhile, instead of the expected bomb, the designer managed to create some kind of silkworm larva, which bears little resemblance to a wedding dress. Is it any wonder that no one bought this outfit and it is currently kept in one of the museums of design art.
Peacock feather
It’s quite difficult to call this creation of fashion designers trash, because its entire hem, including the huge train, is embroidered with peacock feathers. This dress looks luxurious, however, few will be able to purchase it due to the record price of one and a half million US dollars. It is noteworthy that eight Chinese designers worked on creating this image.
Of course, the list of the most unusual wedding dresses does not end here, because every year famous and little-known fashion designers create new masterpieces, dreaming of preserving their name for centuries. And if one of them manages to do this, then many others have to remain in obscurity, creating nothing but zilch.
Passionate red
For her look, the bride chose red, a shade of passion. Perhaps some may find it provocative, but the model’s gentle image extinguishes the activity and aggressiveness of the color. The girl made the right choice with her choice and style of outfit, since red is a self-sufficient color and does not need additional details and colors. It looks especially impressive against the background of the sandy color of the beach.
The bride's A-line guipure dress favorably emphasizes her figure, and scarlet feather decorations make the look fatal and add passion. Puff sleeves add airiness to the look. The makeup is done in natural brown-peach tones with an emphasis on the eyes.
Black dress of blogger Lyubov Sidorkina
We devoted a whole article to the bold choice of the bride. “If you combine all the colors of the rainbow, which, as it seems to me, make up my character, you will get black,” Lyubov explained her choice to us. Well, and, of course, this gesture was a symbol of the fact that I do not follow the patterns that society imposes and that I decide for myself how to live.”
Country chic or rustic
This wedding is the embodiment of a relaxed and romantic rustic style, a cozy and homely celebration against the backdrop of nature. The image of the young bride is gentle and airy and accurately conveys the theme of the holiday. The open bodice of the dress emphasizes her fragility and insecurity. A voluminous and natural hairstyle emphasizes classic facial features. Artificial flowers attached to the back do not cover the bride’s face, but give the image a marshmallow-like and airy feel. The voluminous guipure flowers on the dress seem to be scattered in a clearing and attract the eye. Messy strands highlight the bride’s sweet, rural look. The bouquet is selected in delicate and dusty colors. White and powder roses framed by greenery provide a contrasting accent.
The groom's look in a rustic style is informal and relaxed. There is a touch of chic and elegance here. The rustic style involves abandoning the classic black suit. This style is based on a simple white shirt and loose-fitting trousers made from natural fabrics in restrained natural shades. Genuine leather boots add a touch of solemnity, rustic chic and color to the groom's simple outfit. The asphalt-colored jacket fits into the overall restrained color scheme and emphasizes the couple’s holistic image.

Multi-colored dress for a “neon” wedding
The celebration of Mary and Paul was held in bright colors: neon lights sparkled at the ceremony, the newlyweds walked along a catwalk made of multi-colored illuminated blocks, and even the couple’s invitations were designed in the form of colored packaging with vinyl discs. One of Maria's dresses matched the wedding decor - different shades of purple and pink.
Color scheme – room for creativity!
If you don’t like dresses with an unusual cut or style, then pay attention to original wedding dresses in a non-standard color. We are talking about both colored outfits, including black and red, and outfits with unusual “chips”. The latter may include:
- Ornaments, drawings and prints. A variety of designs, patterns and prints can be applied to the dress. It all depends on personal preferences and wedding style.
- Color effects: ombre, watercolor stains, etc.
- Playing with details, for example, a colored hem in a white dress.
