5 Weird & Unusual DIY Wedding Dresses You Don’t Want to Miss!

DIY Wedding dress designs you have to see to believe

 

The average wedding dress costs about $2,000, and that’s just an off-the-rack wedding dress!  A custom wedding dress costs about $6,000, and most designer gowns start at around $10,000 each. With a price tag that big, it’s no wonder that many frugal brides choose DIY dresses or thrifted wedding dress options instead.

 

Still, some of the handmade dresses we’ve seen take that DIY wedding spirit to the extreme! 

 

The unusual wedding dresses below are so original, so unique, and so delightfully weird that we can’t help but admire them. These budget-conscious brides went beyond ‘nontraditional’ to create designs that are truly unexpected. It’s impressive – even if we might not choose them for our own weddings.

 

So without further ado, here are 5 weird and wonderful DIY wedding dresses you don’t want to miss!
