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!
