* The Love Angel dresses in ''Manga/WeddingPeach'', as well as most of the actual wedding dresses.
* A wedding themed episode of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' featured lots of these, with Usagi's bridal transformation pictured above. It's a plot point, since the whole episode relays in WeddingsInJapan imaginery ''and'' a wedding dress contest [[spoiler: that get crashed by Nephrite's BrainwashedAndCrazy victim who's then stopped and released by the Senshi.]]
** [[spoiler: In the final chapter of the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]], Usagi finally wears one for her wedding to Mamoru.]]
* A couple of dresses in ''Manga/LoveHina'', including Naru's when she marries Keitaro.
* A potential dress for the princess in ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''/''Anime/GoLion'' is made, and then modeled, although the series ends before she even gets engaged.
* Clarice's wedding dress in ''Lupin III: Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro''. Former princess Sayako of Japan (who gave up her title to marry a commoner) liked it so much that [[TheRedStapler she had a real-world one made for her wedding dress]].
* In the Toei anime of ''[[Anime/YuGiOhFirstAnimeSeries Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'': Honda fantasizes about marrying Miho, with her wearing one of these.
* In ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish'', while watching jellyfish at the aquarium, Tsukimi's mother promised to make her a wedding dress just like that, fit for a princess. Though she then said, "Or is it weird that jellyfish remind me of princesses?"
* In Episode 3 of ''[[Anime/CuteyHoney Cutey Honey Flash]]'' there are four such wedding dresses that the episode plot revolves around.
* In ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' Kahlua Shuzen's dress is similar to something bride would wear on her wedding (except maybe the boots and the slit}.
* In ''Manga/FutureDiary'', Yuki and Yuno go to a marriage simulation place, and in their "wedding photo" Yuno is wearing one of these.
* In the ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'' anime, Meiling stops by a boutique and is entranced at the sight of one of these.
* In ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', [[spoiler: Yukime]]'s wedding dress is so gorgeous that [[CostumePorn a two-pages illustration is used to show it off]].
* In ''Manga/CaseClosed'', Yumi Miyamoto briefly wears one when she and Takagi are chosen as {{body double}}s for an about-to-marry couple threatened by a SerialKiller. [[spoiler: When Sato realises ''who'' the culpit is, she switches places with Yumi and gets to wear the dress as well.]]
* Sena Nakajima (née Wakabayashi) from ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' wore a really lovely gown when she [[MayDecemberRomance married]] [[CoolOldGuy Ken's father]]. [[spoiler: Miyuki gets to wear it briefly when she gets to give Ken a kiss on the cheek, making herself pass as Sena.]]
* In the "Eikoden" OVA to ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', Miaka wears a Western wedding dress when she marries [[spoiler: Tamahome]] Taka. It's fairly simple, compared to [[WeddingsInJapan Western-style dresses worn by other anime women]], and certainly compared to many RealLife wedding dresses from the late 80's and early 90's, except it has large fabric (tulle?) roses at the waist and shoulders.
* Played for laughs on the cover page for chapter 111 of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', where Hayasaka has an ImagineSpot of Kaguya wearing one of these (having jokingly filled out her future plans survey to say that she wants to be Shirogane's bride).

* ''Franchise/XMen'':
** In WesternAnimation/XMen's first cartoon, Comicbook/JeanGrey's wedding dresses (they had to get married twice, it's a long story) fit this.
** Lorna Dane's dress in the unfortunately derailed would-be wedding.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** One appears in ''ComicBook/SupermanTheWeddingAlbum''. However while Ellen Lane thinks it looks wonderful, Lois herself absolutely loathes it. It isn't the dress she wears for the actual wedding.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story arc [[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 "Candor"]], [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Saturn Queen]], who is mind-controlling Kara Zor-El into marrying Ultraman, gets her wear a sumptuous, multilayered, pink-and-golden wedding gown, complete with a three-pronged crown ornamented with red beads.

* Being a book about modelling, ''ComicBook/KatyKeene'' has a number of them.

[[/folder]]

* [=KhaosOmega=] has only deployed this once minus the sleeves. As this is a strapless complete bridal gown designed for Anise Azeat's true form deployed at the end of chapter 4 in 'Amethyst Beginnings' it serves as a reminder for Anise of the fact Soul Bonds essentially mean the two linked parties are already married. (Jet, upon seeing her wearing it, chooses that moment to propose to her, which she accepts, firing off a massive amount of golden light that due to the gown allows the two to become truly married without an actual wedding ceremony).
* ''FanFic/BurningBridgesBuildingConfidence'' opens with Marinette dreaming about getting married in a dress that elegantly fuses traditional Chinese wedding garb with a trumpet gown. This contrasts sharply with Lila, who abruptly interrupts and hijacks the venue while wearing an incredibly gaudy, tacky dress 'made of dime store materials and hatred'. This signals the dream rapidly spiraling into a CatapultNightmare.
* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': The unnamed bride in "The Wedding Reception" has an especially over-the-top gown, festooned with flowers and Styrofoam birds.

* The dress at the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', even though it's less fancy than her iconic dress (which is irrelevant to the trope, in case anyone wondered).
* Ariel's dress at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989''.
* The [[GorgeousGarmentGeneration magically created]] dress at the end of ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''.
* Rapunzel's wedding dress in the sequel short "WesternAnimation/TangledEverAfter", which is actually a white PaletteSwap of her celebration dress (with a train as long as her hair had been).
* Jasmine's wedding dress in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves''.
* Mulan's wedding dress at the end of ''WesternAnimation/MulanII'' combines this with LadyInRed, since in ancient China, the bride's dress was colored red.
* The Franchise/DisneyPrincess franchise gave WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}, [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Aurora]], and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]] their own wedding dresses, since we do not actually see them marry at the end of their films.
* Elizabeth and a mouse wear matching ones at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic''.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'' In TheMovie GrandFinale to the series, Miss Brooks pictures herself in one as she fantasizes about marriage to Mr. Boynton. [[spoiler: Miss Brooks finally gets her man at the end of the film]]

* Queen Louise's [[http://maceddy.com/jeanette-macdonald-the-love-parade-wedding-gown-up-for-auction/ beaded wedding dress]] in ''Film/TheLoveParade'' (1929). Not only does it appear in a royal wedding scene with all the pomp that implies, but it was a trend-setter at the time (stores offered copies of the dress for real-life brides who wanted the same look.
* The classic dress Ellen wears at the end of ''Film/ItHappenedOneNight'' (1934).
* The above is given a WholeCostumeReference in the American version of ''Theatre/{{Oscar}}''.
* Elizabeth Swann has one in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest''. Things don't go to plan.
* Mary's dress in ''Film/WhatPriceHollywood''. It gets torn to pieces by rabid fans.
* Buttercup's silver wedding dress in ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
* The would-be wedding dress at the beginning of ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'', and another one that shows up at the end. Giselle's demonstrates just how impractical these dresses can get. When she's transported to the real world she's constantly bumping into things and getting stuck in narrow doorways because her skirt is so big.
* Several of the dresses in ''Film/FourWeddingsAndAFuneral''.

* Worn in a fantasy sequence in ''Film/BrideAndPrejudice''.
* [[http://hollywoodmoviecostumesandprops.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/wedding-dress-from-father-of-bride.html Annie's wedding dress]] in ''Film/FatherOfTheBride1991''.
* ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'' has Maria's wedding gown, which fits the bill superbly, including a cathedral-length veil.
* The photo shoot and final selection for Carrie's big day in the first ''Film/{{Sex and the City}}'' movie. The bird on her head is the kicker. http://www.celebritybrideguide.com/sex-and-the-city-wedding-dress-sells-out/

* Kate Hudson wears one in the movie ''Film/BrideWars''. [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/thefw.com/files/2012/05/bride-wars-vera-wang-wedding-dress-kate-hudson.jpg And a big deal is made about how it was designed by Vera Wang.]]
* Naturally, Creator/LilyJames gets a [[http://photos.vanityfair.com/2015/02/11/54db6c59abcd32906da3cf47_cinderella-disney-costume-vf.jpg gorgeous wedding dress]] as Ella in ''Film/Cinderella2015'' -- full skirt, long chiffon sleeves, corseted bodice, the works. Fittingly for Ella, the skirt and bodice also feature pastel appliqué flowers.

** Snow White's wedding dress is a blue and orange gown with a wide skirt, a white, lacy collar, poofy, lacy sleeves and orange undersleeves with a large, matching orange bow on the back of the dress.

* Mimi's dress in ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'', although it still had touches of her [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes fashion eccentricities]]. Also, Kate had a couple.
* Alice Tinker's wedding dress in ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'' episode "Love & Marriage", although being [[CloudCuckoolander Alice]] it has a few unique additions of her own, such as a headpiece that looks like a glass sculpture with hearts hanging from it, fairy lights, and an illuminated bodice reading "I Love Hugo".[[labelnote:*]]Her original design was even weirder: "And for the train, I thought ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas the Tank Engine]]''..."[[/labelnote]]

* Amy and Donna's dresses when they get married in ''Series/DoctorWho''.
* Darlene's wedding dress in ''Series/{{Roseanne}}''. Originally her grandmother Bev's, its old-fashioned look fit in nicely with Darlene's goth style.
* Phoebe's wedding dress in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' fits this, since her romance ideas came from "Literature/{{Cinderella}}."
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'' features a few, though this [[DarkFantasy ain't no fairytale]].
** Margaery's dress when she marries Joffrey is an elegant, backless white gown with a long train resembling roses, with more roses in black embroidery along the bodice...though if you look closely, you can see [[SomethingAboutARose the roses have thorns]] as well, to remind you she's not all sweet.
** The full-skirted white gown with a matching [[PrettyInMink fur wrap]] Sansa wears to her second wedding is stunning. Pity about the groom and circumstances.
--->'''Bran Stark:''' It was so beautiful that night. Snow falling, just like now. And you were so beautiful. In your white wedding dress.
* Worn as part of a FashionShow in ''Film/{{Gia}}'', with a huge [[PrettyInMink white fox muff]] that had a bouquet attached. She even tossed the muff when she got to the end of the runway.
* In ''Series/DaddysDaughters'', Dasha wears [[http://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/movie/ros/11878/foto/i2/154099/ one to her wedding,]] making it [[{{Goth}} the first time she has worn white]].
* Many dresses featured on ''Series/{{Say Yes to the Dress}}''.

* Guinevere's coronation gown in ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}''. It's unclear whether her coronation doubles as her wedding, but it's still a pimped-out frock and it still involves a ceremony that signifies her marriage to a man.
* In the ''Series/FourWeddings'' episode "And a Shark Tank", [[http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/four-weddings/season-3-episode-7-pictures1.htm Celeste wears]] a dress with a bunched and puffed overskirt that can be removed to show a short [[FluffyFashionFeathers feather skirt]] an elaborate handmade bodice with leaf-like decorations, and [[PrettyInMink a white rabbit wrap (with two puffballs)]] over the dress.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
** Rachel is introduced wearing a very poofy early-90s dress as a result of [[RunawayBride running out on her wedding]]. She apparently held onto it for a while as she wears it again in season four to cheer herself up after fighting with her current boyfriend.
** Phoebe's wedding dress in the final season is a borderline example. It's certainly fancy but much sleeker than Rachel's and lavender rather than the traditional white.
** Monica's dream dress is an example but she eventually gives it to another bride in exchange for the wedding band Chandler had his heart set on. The dress she ends up wearing is much simpler and more like a nice evening gown.
* Grace tries one on in ''Series/WillAndGrace'', but settles for something more understated and fashionable for her own wedding.
* Despite the unflattering focus on the brides in ''Series/{{Bridezillas}},'' those women still often get very pretty gowns.
* On ''Series/RaisingHope'', Virginia's {{Jerkass}} cousin Delilah had always dreamed of having a pink wedding dress with a huge train carried by Music/MichaelJackson, when she was a teenager back in TheEighties or early in TheNineties. When she finally ''does'' get married in her late 30's or early 40's, she finally gets her wish. Including the part about Michael Jackson (or at least an MJ impersonator) carrying her train.
** Later in the series, Virginia's father offers to give her the wedding ''she'' always dreamed of, but never got. Virginia wears the same dress Princess Diana wore to her wedding to Prince Charles, to renew her vows to Burt. (Prince Charles' outfit is also worn by Burt.)
* On ''Series/AdamRuinsEverything'', Adam explains that the wedding dress as ''we'' know it is NewerThanTheyThink. Up until the wedding of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert, brides wore nice dresses (if their families were wealthy) or everyday, casual dresses (if their families were not so wealthy). Brides began copying Queen Victoria's then-iconic white dress, but only if they were wealthy, because back then, a dress like that would have been too expensive and impractical for most women (or their parents) to justify, especially as it was only going to be worn once. (Furthermore, most Western weddings were much simpler affairs up until that point, sometimes wedged into other unrelated social events.) That changed in TheThirties, despite a little bump in the road known as TheGreatDepression, with the advent of bridal magazines that encouraged increasingly lavish wedding celebrations and elaborate dresses. The idea of [[VirginInAWhiteDress the white dress signifying the bride's virginity]] (as opposed to how wealthy her parents were) came even later, about TheFifties or so.

* ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'': Margarita Blankenheim wears one throughout "Gift From The Princess Who Brought Sleep". [[spoiler: This is rather ironic, as the [[KillEmAll events of the song]] [[ADeadlyAffair were brought on by her husband's cheating.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Toys]]
* Some of {{Franchise/Barbie}}'s wedding outfits, but not all of them.
[[/folder]]

* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', Peach's dress when [[HypnotizeThePrincess she was forced]] to marry Bowser, was basically a white version of her usual dress, but still was of a form that fit this trope. She was given a new, actual wedding dress for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' as another forced wedding to Bowser was the primary plot point.

* Ashe's dress at the beginning of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.
* Medea's dress at the end of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII''.

* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters '97'', if you had Mai face off Andy, she'd show up in a fancy wedding dress just before the fight to tease him, then quickly change into her trademark clothing and throw the bouquet - which a deathly embarrassed Andy would hide in his clothing.
** In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters '02'', Mai wears it again in a finishing move ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEaUIjVjKXE see here]]).

* ''VideoGame/{{Guenevere}}'' opens with the title character's wedding to Myth/KingArthur, while wearing an extremely elaborate gown her servants have spent years to create.

* In the mobile phone game ''VideoGame/LoveNikkiDressUpQueen'', a craftable wedding dress called Realized Dream is this style. It's also the only wedding dress in the game that's not from an event, making it necessary to craft for a level requiring a wedding dress if you didn't start playing until after the wedding event.

* In this [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/08/29/tying-the-not/ strip of]] ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'', which spoofed the RunawayBride trope.

* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie wears a long ballroom-style gown and veil in the epilogue while marrying Amira.

* Erin's dress in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' episode "I Don't".
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "The Ticket Master," Rarity imagines herself marrying Princess Celestia's nephew while wearing one of these (with a rather long train), despite being a unicorn. [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/blog/mlpfim_ep0319.png Pic here.]]

* Lois's dress in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', which can be seen on a picture on the house stairway.
* Hayley wore one in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', although she was {{Brainwashed}}.
* Kimber wears one in the second half of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' two-parter "Hollywood Jem" episode, with all the other Holograms (minus Jem, as Jerrica was the maid of honor, instead) being her bridesmaids. It was complete with a long train and many other frills fitting an 80s wedding dress. [[spoiler:She was to marry Jeff, her ''other'' boyfriend, but they ultimately decided not to go through it.]]
[[/folder]]

* In ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', Yumi Miyamoto briefly wears one when she and Takagi are chosen as {{body double}}s for an about-to-marry couple threatened by a SerialKiller. [[spoiler: When Sato realises ''who'' the culpit is, she switches places with Yumi and gets to wear the dress as well.]]

** In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story arc [[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 "Candor"]], [[ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}} Saturn Queen]], who is mind-controlling Kara Zor-El into marrying Ultraman, gets her wear a sumptuous, multilayered, pink-and-golden wedding gown, complete with a three-pronged crown ornamented with red beads.

* There are Franchise/HelloKitty themed weddings that includes several dresses like these. Think this is a joke? See [[http://forladiesbyladies.com/index.php/2009/03/20/hello-kitty-weddings-goodbye-to-good-taste/ here]] and [[http://www.kittyhell.com/2009/11/23/hello-kitty-wedding-dress/ here]].

** Snow White's dress is a royal blue gown with a wide skirt, a white, lacy collar and orange undersleeves with a large, matching orange bow on the back of the dress.

** [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Clementianna]] wears one her wedding to [[spoiler: Prince Alcott]]; a white gown complete with a wide, poofy skirt which seems to be either made of feathers or patterned to look like feathers. [[spoiler: the wedding doesn't happen, though]].

Honor Harrington, serving as maid of honor, explicitly notes that while [[SimpleYetOpulent the dress is not overly frilly, as per Rivka's wishes, anyone who knows anything about fabric and gown construction will know just how outrageously expensive the gown was]], as fitting a future empress consort.

** [[spoiler: Lisa's dress]] at the end, a sparkling pink dress completely with an extra poofy skirt and 6-foot train.

* The dress at the end of ''Film/ComingToAmerica''.

* In ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', Mega Gardevoir's skirt is upgraded to look like this.

** Phoebe's wedding dress in the final season is a borderline example. It's certainly fancy but much sleeker than Rachel's and silver rather than the traditional white.

Sometimes it doesn't even have to be worn at a wedding. It can show up in a bridal FashionShow, or be one of several dresses a character tries on for her wedding (often a dress that she turns down due to either cost or it genuinely not being the kind of dress she wants).
