Gorgeous Celebrity Wedding Dresses

There’s the gorgeous, blushing bride all dressed up in white and the handsome groom who patiently awaits her. A wedding day is a magical, beautiful occasion for all involved. Even the guests at most weddings tend to pull out all the stops and show up dressed to the nines. All these characteristics are present in the simplest of weddings, from backyards to churches.

 Yet, when this exquisite rite of passage includes celebrity brides-to-be, the extravagance increases tenfold. Most celebrities spare no expense in throwing opulent and tasteful soirees for the lucky few who are invited to attend—and for the rest of us to ogle over greedily in the tabloids. The wedding dress is the staple of the wedding and typically sets the tone for the affair—a ball gown primes us for a splendidly over-the-top event while a slinky, satiny number prepares us for a night of sultry romance.

When we reflect back on weddings that we have attended, or maybe even our own special day, we remember the beautiful gown most fondly. When we think of what is considered to be acceptable and traditional, they do not come to mind. Some went left when we expected them to go right; others blew our minds with aspects that were completely, ridiculously out of the box. However, there are some select future wives who take a uniquely alternate route altogether when selecting their bridal attire. These ten feisty gals went to extreme lengths to find their own places in the wedding annals of our time.
