Bikini-Inspired Bridal Dress
Former Laguna Beach actress Whitney Port is reportedly eyeing this Oscar de la Renta two-piece wedding gown for her possible beach wedding. Someone should tell her it's okay to exchange vows on the sand without dressing up in a mermaid costume.
Sheer-Bottom Trend
I'm not even going to pretend this Elie Saab Couture bridal gown isn't one of the most stunning creations I've ever seen. But, with its ultra-sheer bottom, it isn't necessarily appropriate for most weddings.
Come Hither Lace & Slit
If a bride's dress makes all of the male guests at her wedding ponder whether they still have a shot with her, it's probably too sexy. With its thigh-high slit and super low-cut bustier, this one will score a bride lots of unwanted opportunities to … uh, score.
Vegas Bride
If you're eloping in Vegas and have a bubbly personality AND idolize Betty Boop, by all means, go for this look. If not, stay away.
Side Boob Bride
No matter how you slice it, the side boob is a bad trend. The side boob wedding dress = a hundred million times worse.

Peek-a-Boo Cut-Out Dress
If you're going to wear a body con bridal dress, more power to you. But the sexy shape here is enough to make an impact — there's no need to add peek-a-boo lace along the sides and sleeves.
Queen of All Things Obscene
Should we start with the fact that this wedding gown is actually a micro mini? How about the flashy color? The hits-you-out-of-nowhere peacock tail train? Who knew so much could be happening on so little of a dress?!
