The bridesmaid dress: re-use and recycle or a museum piece?

I was thinking of 27 dresses with Katherine Heigl and the yummy James Marsden as I flipped through some wedding pictures posted on facebook.  Afterall, it is weddding season, and lots of weddings are if not on their way, then have already gone on recently.

With the details of flowers, a beautifully decorated hall and a stunningly (and equally) beautiful bride and groom are the entourage attire.  The groomsmen are easy--err i mean that they are usually in matching suits with only their vests or ties/bowties matching.  Usually white shirts and Black tuxes/suits are the norm so no surprises there.  The bridesmaids and maid of honor however, can prove to be difficult when trying to make it a beautiful and yet re-useable dress.

Is that possible?  A bridesmaid dress that can be re-used and recycled?!?
