Toilet paper wedding gowns, it’s like a challenge in Project Runway except you don’t have to face Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. And you even win a $500 prize for the best toilet paper creations.

There is a yearly competition for people to buy up rolls of toilet paper to create an individual wedding dress, complete with ruching, bows, trains, head pieces, and tight bodices. Who would have thought you could do so much with toilet paper?

It is definitely a cheaper option for a dress you may only wear once, and aren’t too particular about luscious fabric. Check out the designers who’ve had honorable mentions at Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com for winners from 2005, 2006 and 2007.

I just hope it doesn’t rain or that the wedding reception doesn’t run out of toilet paper if you happen to be wearing toilet paper wedding gown.
