Amazing Wedding Dresses Made Out of Toilet Paper

When you think of toilet paper, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? My guess is it has nothing to do with wedding dresses. The two normally don’t belong in the same sentence, unless you are referring to the Cheap Chic Weddings Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest. The 11th annual event took place last week in New York City. Nearly 1,500 dresses were entered this year and designers were required to construct their wedding dresses only out of Charmin toilet paper, tape, glue and/or needle and thread.

This marks the fifth year Charmin has partnered with Cheap Chic Weddings by providing coupons to help cover the cost of purchasing Charmin toilet paper used in creating each dress. Designers used between two and 40 rolls of Charmin Basic, Charmin Ultra Soft, Charmin Ultra Strong, and even a vintage Charmin product from the 1970s.

All three look absolutely stunning! It would be so hard to pick just one. I think they all did a beautiful job.

The winning dress by Donna Pope Vincler – $10,000 Grand Prize

Isn’t the winning dress gorgeous? It’s made out of 22 rolls of Charmin Ultra Strong, Charmin Ultra Soft and Charmin Basic combined. It’s hard to believe that it was made entirely of toilet paper! The exciting thing is this dress will inspire a ready-to-wear dress to be created by Kleinfeld Bridal. If it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of for your wedding, it could soon be a reality!
