Best/Worst Soap Wedding Dresses, Hats, Headpieces and Veils

[j swift]

Lois was so lovely on her wedding day, but I can't help think that the dress wore her, and the hair didn't help.  It also seems like not the choice that character would have made to wear on her wedding day.  Lois was a hip chick in the music biz, this is a little too princess-y.  Just look at those nails, that is not the manicure of a woman who wears her hair braided with like Heidi of the Alps.

i agree she looked gorgeous, and Diana says it all didn't she get a Camilla of her own to torment her?

Always exciting when I find an example that's new to me

Poor Gwyneth, why did they insist on dressing her like a middle-aged vixen?

 

 

 

Although her IMDB must be wrong because it says she was born in 1967, which means she would've started on Loving in 1984 at age 17 ?!? (PS, I know the one on the left isn't CLT)

I adore (Capitol) Sloan's first wedding ensamble,

as much as I despise this one

What do you call that thing on her head?  Fringe bangs?  A beaded swimcap?  Who did this to poor Sloan?  And how many sapphire necklaces did the girl own?

Also, did anyone else see think of this hat when they saw GH Claudia's veil (the background perspective was odd)

Who could forget one of the oddest choices for a wedding ensemble?

Poor Eileen Davidson has never been provided a pretty wedding gown on any of the soaps.  I mean, that head piece from Y&R isn't much better than Susan Bank's on DAYS

sigh...that's Nola's fault, but I digress.

Vanessa got shafted in the dress department more than once. It's not that this one is bad, exactly. But when you watch the wedding, the hat just gets in the way of everything.

It's also that 1980s thing where everyone looked 45, even when they were 30

I mean, she's a beautiful woman, but she looks the same age in all three photos, despite the fact that they were taken years apart.

LOL...I've been looking for the last half hour for a nice picture of that dress. Maeve just didn't age.

I had to zoom in to see that they also added a veil to the hat.  Talk about gilding the lily!

I like the one she wore when Billy jilted her the most
