IS THERE ANYTHING more beautiful than a bride on her wedding day?

Filled with romance and anticipation, they glow with excitement.  Really, they need no accessory at all, a simple white sheath would showcase the beauty they personify.  Right?  Right.

Except, that’s not really the way it goes with weddings, and that is especially not the way it went with weddings in the 80s, as these photos show.

Here are ten rules of 80s wedding fashion, as told by celebrity weddings.

More is more

When choosing sleeve width, the head should be used as a minimum guideline

Simplicity should be shunned in terms of your floral accessories

If your number of bridesmaids is a single digit, cancel your wedding

You're clearly not cool enough to interact with society.

There must be at least three different style elements to whatever you're wearing on your head

Flowers, tiara, veil?  Fine.  Headband, pearly spray and tulle bow?  You're good to go.

If you can manage your dress on your own, it's not big enough

Vision is an unnecessary accessory

If your wedding is on the beach, your skirt should still be able to hide at least two children under it

Of course, if you were truly stylish, you'd ignore all the rules.

Well, there is a bit of vision obstruction and long flower arrangement going on, but Dawn French was very understated by 80s standards.  PA/PA Archive/Press Association Images
