It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times: A Gallery Of Not So Gorgeous Bridal Fashions

Jennifer — Fri, 30 May 2008 15:00:00 EDT

Hi guys! And greetings from the world of Big Ponies! So way back when I was still a full-time Jezebel, I asked you to send me pics of the best-worst bridal party dresses you've ever worn. And I have to say: You're all a bunch of chickens. You totally weenied out on me! Too afraid to insult the so-called "friends" who forced you wear the monstrosities, only twenty-two of you dared to send me your bridesmaid crimes of fashion. And rest assured, I admire you for it. After the jump, the gallery of the brave, the strong, the survivors of the worst hells bells has to offer.

Disney Flower Girl Dresses: For Little Girls Who Still Believe In Fairy Princesses

Jennifer — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:20:00 EDT

The reign of terror of Disney Bridal continues! And while this is the second season the line has presented looks for brides and their maids, this is the first time they've offered up looks for flower girls, too. We say if you want your flower girl to look like a Disney princess, just go to your favorite local party store right after Halloween and pick up some costumes on clearance. But that's just us. Fairy princess looks for a demographic that still believes in fairy princesses, after the jump.

Ariel:
Verdict: If you can't have fins, there's always tiers?

Belle:
Verdict: The website says that the flower detailing at the waist is in reference to Belle's "generous spirit." We still don't get it.

Cinderella:
Verdict: Cinderella. Full skirts. We get it.

Jasmine:
Verdict: What would Edward Said say about the Jasmine looks having "unique" necklines? Probably that same ol' thing about the romanticization of the Other for consumption by the West.

Sleeping Beauty:
Verdict: Apparently Sleeping Beauty likes bows.

Snow White:
Verdict: If you're gonna be in a glass coffin, you might as well accessorize with some tulle and ruching.
