Best Overall

Jinger (so far in the lead, she couldn't be caught) 

Claire (lovely, appropriate) 

Lauren (she lost points overall for the hair) 

 

Worst Overall, In No Particular Order

Mullet (the infamous vow renewal with the awful, inappropriate bastardized Kleinfeld's dress) 

Joy (did she even brush her damn hair, and wasn't she barefoot?)

Anna (crunchy perm time and her sister's too-short dress. Sometimes I wonder if her parents didn't like her)

Jill (sloppy hair and ill-fitting dress, although I think she'd do much better now)

Amy (holy gross cleavage, but she gets points for doing it even when the zillion Duggar males would be there) 

 

Popular but I Don't Get It

Jessa's dress and overall look 

 

I don't really remember any of the food or decorations besides the Smuggar wedding (cold cuts and cheap cheese?). I haven't watched the shows since about 2013, so all my snark comes from here.

I liked that Jessa's dress was blush colored, but any points she got for that were negated by her ridiculous melted ice cream in a parking lot reception. 😏

I thought Jinger's dress was lovely and I really liked how her bridesmaids wore all different colors. I did the same thing with my bridesmaids - my wedding used autumn colors, and each of my bridesmaids wore a different autumn leaf shade, so I'm biased to appreciate that choice, I suppose.

Something about Jill and Joy's looks seemed a bit unkempt and messy - hair just sort of hanging, dresses that were okay but maybe not super well fitting. Though seeing Anna's dress again makes Jill and Joy look like they stepped out of a bridal magazine. 😐

Joy’s hair is terrible, and her dress is my least favorite of the Duggar daughters. Overall, though, I think Anna’s look was the worst.

You can definitely tell when the TLC series money, as opposed to the specials, started kicking in. But I really do wonder sometimes if Ofsmuggar's parents didn't care for her much. She got the worst groom, and she didn't even get a dress of her own. David's Bridal doesn't cost that much, FFS. 

Note to future Duggarling brides: Jinger is the only one who wore her hair up, and she's also the only one who didn't look sloppy AF. Remember this. It's not a sin to put your hair up on your wedding day. 

I'm very profane today. I apologize to any who are offended by my sinful language. 

I loved Jinger's dress but I didn't like it on her, if that makes sense. The first time I saw her in it, I though, "Oh, THAT is what 'the dress wore her' means." But still, she wins overall if only because she's the only one who actually styled her hair.

If Lauren had worn her hair up to show off the back, and the bodice had been better fitted, she would have been up there. IIRC, the original dress had 3/4 length sleeves and looked elegantly beautiful on the model.

Jessa's dress is still one of my favorites. The cut, the fit, the color, no franken-Duggar nonsense--loved it.

What an awesome thread idea! I’m excited to have it.

I liked that Jessa at least did something slightly different with the color!

Poor Anna, wrinkled, ill fitting, and just makes her whole front look caved in. I wonder what she thinks when she looks at those photos now, knowing what was to come.

I do remember that Joy tried on a dress that was perfect for her.  It was fairly simple with sheer 3/4 sleeves that had polka dots and the same sheer polka dot overlay on the skirt. No ruffles or lace.  It was just gorgeous on her, but she picked another one that ultimately needed some ridiculous "modesty" alterations.  

No one has mentioned Abbie’s dress.  I think it got a fairly positive response at the time.

Did Michelle reuse Joy’s MOB dress for Justin’s wedding? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. JB needs to burn that awful gray suit, and get some decent dress shoes. 

Well Justin’s wedding wasn’t filmed (I think). And money is tight these days with all the lawyer fees Jim Bob is paying. 😁

Kendra's dress is pretty too.  

Michelle's dress for Jill's wedding is the stuff of nightmares.  

Does anyone remember what wedding had the horrible music by a Bates' girl? I can't figure out how to explain it.  In fact, I feel like maybe it was two weddings (Jill and Jessa)? But it had a Bates girl playing piano who had no concept of less is more, and thought just because she had the technical skills to put a bunch of unnecessary musical frills into the song didn't mean it was a good idea.

I thought the grand finale would be the piano bursting into flames.

Did Joy forego a bouquet, or was the picture a reenactment?  Also, Kendra is just adorable in that first photo.

I agree that Jinger's look was the most polished and sophisticated, but my favorite dress is Jessa's.  It's very feminine and simple. I love a cap sleeve.  And the blush color.

Was Anna's hem crooked? It looks wonky to me.  I think it's a hi-lo hem style, but it still looks off.

Are we keeping this strictly Duggars?  Or will we be able to bring in Sweet Friends?

That would have been an act of mercy to the piano.

@CouchTater I was wondering that too.  I think as long as we're talking about fundy weddings of people who are "known" for lack of a better word or connected to the Duggars, that would be fine. But if people want to only discuss Duggars, I get that too.

-I liked Jessa's dress the most. I'd rather a decent modest dress than the Pnina styles and I thought that was was pretty close to mainstream modesty. Also I like blush dresses. 

 

-Jinger's look was over all the best. Somehow Jeremy dressed well, too. Michelle's dress was a nice color. All in all that wedding brought out the best dressed. 

 

-Kendra's dress was pretty bad for a wedding dress. As another posted said up thread it's more promwear than wedding.  However, Anna's dress was the worst imo, didn't fit, showed no personal style, zero effort was put into that dress.   Michelle's Kleinfeld dress was also bad. Kleinfeld can make nice modest dresses, that just wasn't one of them. I always thought it was shitty Meeechelle got a Kleinfeld dress and not one of the girls considering it was definitely comp'd for the 'crossover.' Or even Anna since Anna/Josh was the first Duggar wedding. 

 

-I hate vow renewals but I'd like Jill to have a chance to pick out a second wedding look because I don't like hers much but she could turn it around now and take the top best look. Her dress to Jeremy's graduation was nice.

My favorite Duggar wedding (for the visuals, I haven't watched most of the ceremonies) is Jinger's wedding.  I absolutely love her dress.

My least favorite dress was Lauren, I think.

Actually, it was Anna.

Josh and Anna's photo is pretty appropriate for their marriage. Her dress is ill-fitted and a mess though she's trying to smile and Josh is smug and disinterested.
