There's something about seeing a [[Woman in White|Woman In a White]] [[Fairytale Wedding Dress|bridal gown]] which is covered in blood. The juxtaposition of the joyous event the wedding dress is supposed to signify with the brutality or tragedy that the blood indicates makes for a striking image. The fact that the red of the blood stands out well against the white of the dress adds to this.

* ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'' - Mac tries to fake his own death by driving his car into a wall and is badly shaken/concussed by the event. Disappointed that the car doesn't blow up, he takes his friend Charlie to go get something to help things along, he finds a wedding dress in a pawn shop which he is completely enamored with. When he and Charlie return to the car, Mac is wearing the dress and bleeding all over it.
* MASH''[[M*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' - In the episode "Margaret's Marriage,", Head Nurse Margaret Houlihan is being married in the MASH's mess tent, when the ceremony is interrupted by incoming wounded, and after the ceremony is sped up, Houlihan, still in her wedding dress, and the rest of the doctors and nurses, still in their dress uniforms, have to rush to operate on the wounded. They all end up with blood on their clothes.

* Non-wedding-dress example: about half way through [[The Birthday Massacre]]'s song ''"Happy Birthday''", the speaker's black-and-white dress becomes a black-and-red dress. It should be noted that this is the song that gave TBM their name.
* [[Alice Cooper]]'s "Roses on White Lace" is a very literal example
* The covers of [[My Chemical Romance]]'s "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge" and "Life On The Murder Scene" feature a woman in a blood-spattered wedding dress (though it's much easier to tell she's in a wedding dress on the cover of the latter).
