Lake Orchard, Mich., USA, native Susan Brennan has been named winner of the Eighth Annual Cheap Chic Weddings Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest conducted by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com and sponsored in part by Procter & Gamble’s (Cincinnati, Ohio) Charmin. Brennan received a check for $2,012.

With more than 700 entries this year, participants were required to construct their wedding dresses out of nothing more than Charmin toilet paper, tape, glue, and/or needle and thread. .

Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com, which operates as a money-saving website for brides-to-be, began the annual contest eight years ago based on the popular bridal shower game. As the contest has increased in popularity from year to year, so has the level of competition.

"The quality of talent that presents itself each year always amazes us," says Susan Bain, one of the founders of Cheap Chic Weddings. "This year’s entries included several dresses that had intricate details like faux embroidery, ruffles, pleats, and even lace effects."

Charmin is a sponsor of the contest for the second time and provided coupons for contest entrants to help cover the cost of purchasing the rolls of Charmin used in creating each dress, which ranged in amount from 10 rolls to nearly 50 rolls in some cases and featured Charmin Basic, Charmin Ultra Soft, and Charmin Ultra Strong designs.
