A Wedding Dress

Duh. This is the only time when wearing one won't make you look crazy.

Really — It Can Be the Poofiest Dress of Your Life

Think Disney princess status.

Or Even a White Suit

Whatever you say, goes.

Actually, No Matter What the Wedding-Related Occasion, White Works

Engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners — white is your go-to color.

And You'll Finally Get to Wear a Veil

When else can you ever wear a veil?!

It Can Even Be a Birdcage Veil

So retro.

Some Brides Wear Flowers in Their Hair

Think festival season times infinity, you boho bride, you.

Or a Tiara

You can even refer to it as a crown.

You Can Literally Wear Whatever You Want in Your Hair

Time to pull a Carrie Bradshaw and put a bird on it!

But Don't Forget the 4 Must Haves

Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

And That Superlong Train

You're practically Kate freakin' Middleton.

Now's Your Time to Pull an Amal Clooney

Or a Solange Knowles

You rock that cape, girl!

For Your Bachelorette Bash, Get as Sexy as You Want

And don't forget those X-rated accessories.

You May Even Get a Sash

Living out that Toddlers and Tiaras dream you've had since forever.

Now You Have an Excuse to Buy Expensive Lingerie

So what if you wear it for 4.5 seconds? This occasion calls for more than booty shorts or granny panties.

And Wear Sparkles Everywhere

Like a sparkle factory had an explosion and you sacrificed yourself to save others.

Or Feathers

The more the merrier at this point.

You Can Also Change Your Outfit a Million Times

Without someone giving you a hard time about it.

Plus, When Else Can You Stuff Your Face With Cake?

Or better yet, stuff cake into someone else's face?

But the Best Item of All Is Your New Matching Jewelry

Wedding rings! That means it's official-official: you're hitched.
