You’ve probably heard some girl say, “I could walk down the aisle in a paper bag and still be happy, as long as I got to marry the love of my life.†And you probably thought, “Yeah, right, lady.â€
Well, swap in toilet paper for that paper bag, and as long as she’s referring to one of the gowns below, you might change your mind.
Cheap Chic Weddings and Charmin teamed up for the 11th annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest (yes, that’s a thing that actually exists) this past spring, and the entries will blow your mind.

The rules were rough, guys:
1. You must use Charmin brand toilet paper.
2. You may use any type of tape and/or any type of glue.
3. Use needle and thread if you like.
4. The dress must be able to be worn by a human and be able to be taken on and off.
The entrants pulled out all the stops. The competition culminated with a live event for the top 10 finalists at Kleinfeld Bridal (of Say Yes to the Dress fame) in New York City earlier this week, and there were no “mummy†wedding dresses or corresponding headpieces in sight.
This flower insanity/awesomeness/how-did-she-do-it? won third, taking home $2,500.
