QUIRKY WORLD ... Here comes the bride all dressed in... toilet paper?

The gowns were showcased at the finale of the annual Cheap Chic Weddings Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest in New York. Ten designers, vying for a $10,000 (€8,800) prize, painstakingly made the dresses from the most basic materials.

The rules were simple, according to contest co-creator Laura Gawne.
