Scroll down below and decide for yourself, **Warning** Readers may experience an intense need to get married, after reading this article.
01. Chrissy Teigen
For her wedding to John Legend, former Sports Illustrated Cover model Chrissy Teigen wore not one, not two, but a grand total of THREE separate Vera Wang gowns. In our opinion, all three were exquisite.
Bearing in mind that the iconic wedding dress designer’s frocks range from $8K to $23K, it’s safe to say that Chrissy spent more than a pretty penny on her wedding looks. We especially love the drama of this particular dress.
02. Miranda Kerr
Victoria’s Secret supermodel Miranda Kerr found the man of her dreams in Snapchat founder and CEO Evan Spiegel. The bride wore a custom gown by famed French design house Dior Haute Couture.
It was the second trip down the aisle for Miranda, who had previously been wed to actor Orlando Bloom. The couple had a low-key affair at their home in Los Angeles in front of 45 of their closest friends and family members.
03. Ashley Tisdale
Ashley Tisdale is an actress and singer whose big break came when she starred in the Disney Channel original movie High School Musical. She’s also a modern-day pinup, having ranked on the Maxim‘ Hot 100 list of most beautiful women and hottest celebrities multiple times.
So it’s only appropriate that for her wedding to musician Christopher French, Ashley had her High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens as one of her six bridesmaids! The pair wed at a private residence in Santa Barbara.
04. Ivanka Trump
What happens when the daughter of a billionaire gets married to the wealthy son of a huge real estate mogul get married? We get to drool over their over-the-top wedding pictures and decor!
“The cake was amazing and just beautiful It was 70 inches on the table with about 13 layers,” Sylvia Weinstock, who baked the cake, said in an interview with People magazine. “Each layer was ringed with flowers. We had lisianthus, roses, peonies, Lilies of the Valley, baby’s breath – all in the colouring of whites, creams, pinks ivory, and flush tones.” Our guess is that Ivanka’s cake was inspired by her dress, which also features romantic and classic floral detailing.
05. Gisele Bundchen
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen and football quarterback Tom Brady are one of the power couples of the century. It’s hard to believe the dynamic duo have already been married for ten years, and have a daughter, Vivian, and a son, Benjamin.
Recently, to mark their anniversary on Instagram, Gisele posted: “I love learning and growing with you. Happy anniversary love of my life! Te amo muito!” The last part of her message, in her native Portuguese, means “I love you very much.”
06. Chanel Iman
Chanel Iman and Sterling Shepard got married at the Beverly Hills Hotel just three short months after getting engaged. The star-studded guest list is exactly what you would expect from the wedding of the world’s most in-demand supermodels and the New York Giants’ wide receiver.
Some of the attendees were Chrissy Teigen, Gabrielle Union, Odell Beckham Jr., Tiffany Haddish, and Shanina Shaik all attended! Chanel chose a Zuhair Murad gown: “I feel very lucky to have gotten married in one of his gorgeous creations.”
07. Whitney Port
Port is known as a celebrity who is a fashionista even on her bad days, so everyone was buzzing about her wedding dress, when it was announced that she was getting married. In her usual manner, she chose a fashion-forward dress, featuring a high-low hemline and 3d-embroidered bodice.
When talking about her wedding, reality TV star Whitney Port said; “We wrote our own vows and had members of our family marry us, we didn’t do a sit-down dinner because we are way more casual than that and wanted everyone to have little bites of everything, including all of our favourite things like a bread bar! We named cocktails after our nicknames for each other, we choose all the music by making a playlist for the two years we were engaged.”
08. Lauren Conrad
California native Lauren Conrad rose to fame on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and its spin-off, The Hills. Lauren had a staggering ten -that’s right, ten – bridesmaids by her side on her special day.
Why such a large number? Isn’t it improper wedding etiquette? “It’s really a personal choice,” she said. “I think as long as the number doesn’t distract from the nuptials, you’re fine. Also if you have a large group, having them sit during the ceremony works well,” she added.
09. Serena Williams
Top tennis player Serena Williams married tech entrepreneur and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in New Orleans, Louisiana. Celebrity wedding or not, we love that their infant daughter was in attendance and stole the show away from the happy couple and that dress!

10. Kim Kardashian
How could we create a celebrity wedding dresses list and not include Kim Kardashians? While we strongly prefer her iconic look in a Vera Wang gown during her wedding to rap superstar Kanye West, we can’t forget her first wedding to NBA player Kris Humphries.
The marriage only lasted for 72 days, but Kim still went all out on a special day – the ceremony cost upwards of $10 million. Kris gave Kim a 20-carat, $2 million engagement ring that had to be transported via an armored truck.

20. Britney Spears
Britney Spears shocked the world when she married her back-up dancer Kevin Federline. Even to this day, her shotgun wedding is iconic and unfortunately, the butt of jokes! Fun Fact: Britney Spears, was actually the who got down on one knee to propose to Kevin!

Since their marriage, they have become more comfortable displaying their love publicly and have posted several pictures from their wedding.

I have never been crazy about all-white wedding dresses, for me at least.

24. Snooki
Snooki – real name Nicole Polizzi – married her husband in front of their closest 500 friends and family. The over the top wedding was quintessential Jersey Shore, with lots of gel hair, only this time we had the addition of tulle.

35. Salma Hayek
When Salma Hayek married the famous French financier François-Henri Pinault, the wedding was just as star-studded as you’d expect for Hollywood royalty like her. Bono, Penelope Cruz and Woody Harrelson are just a few big names, who were in attendance.

For her Italian nuptials to rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian chose a fairly conservative floor-length gown by her usual standards. It features unexpected side cutouts which were overlayed with lace and a slim belt at the waist.

38. Shanina Shaik
She has walked many runways and is one of the beautiful Angels from Victoria’s Secret, so it is no surprise that Shanina Shaik looked like the most beautiful bride on her wedding day.

40. Khloe Kardashian
Back before Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian married NBA player Lamar Odom just one month after the couple met. Keeping Up With The Kardashians and the E! TV network paid for the wedding, which was estimated to have cost more than $1 million – chump change for a Kardashian.

41. Audrina Patridge
Reality TV star Audrina Patridge married longtime beau Corey Bonahan in Hawaii, just a few months after giving birth to their daughter. The beautiful seaside wedding had the perfect mix of glam mixed with Patridge’s casual style.

43. Kaley Cuoco
Kaley Cuoco previously got married wearing a pink, princess-like, gown, but unfortunately, that marriage was not to last. The Big Bang Theory actress recently wed for the second time, and this time she wore a custom-made Reem Acra 1920s inspired gown.
The lace detailing and the way it fit perfectly on the actress made this one of the most beautiful wedding gowns. In fact, it took 50 yards of pure silk chiffon and ten seamstresses who hand embroidered the gown, to get this perfect finish.
44. Kate Middleton
It was the Wedding of The Century, and for good reason. Nearly 2.5 billion people tuned in to watch the heir to the British throne, Prince William of Wales, wed his longtime love, Kate Middleton.
The two wed at Westminster Abbey with the bride in a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress. Since her wedding, Kate has become a bonafide fashion icon, praised for the classic pieces that she likes to wear and reuse.
45. Amy Schumer
Schumer looked relaxed and radiant on her wedding with Chris Fischer. The “secret” wedding was dappled in sunlight with the happy couple joking throughout the ceremony. Amy’s choice of an updated classic A-line dress perfectly suited her figure. Plus, we can’t get over her relaxed half-up down hair.
Amy Schumer discussed good pal Jennifer Lawrence’s speech at her wedding to chef Chris Fischer, the brother of her personal assistant. “We just joke around so much, but to hear her say, ‘You’re the matriarch now and it’s a role you’ll be so good at and I know you love fiercely,’” Schumer said in a radio interview with shock jock Howard Stern. “Then she also said, ‘I wish for you patience, which you don’t have.’ So, she also roasted me!”
