Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest

If the current economy has given you a dose of the wedding budget blues, then take heart that there are plenty of creative ways to save money on your big day.

Perhaps one of the most extreme is to make your dress out of toilet paper! Each year, Cheap Chic Weddings run a design contest with the challenge of making a wedding dress out of nothing but toilet paper and glue. The results are surprisingly impressive each year.

This year’s winner out of 564 entries from around the world, was a creation by Katrina Chalifoux of Rockford, Illinois, who’s layered frills design has a distinctive flamenco flair.

The dress has a textured flower pattern that is made of moulded paper. So if you are feeling creative, and have a few hundred rolls of toilet paper and extra time and patience, you could end up saving yourself hundreds.

Just hope that it doesn’t rain on your wedding day!
