One of the best ways to plan a wedding is to take inspiration from other weddings and then make it your own. Celebrities in particular often like to put on a “show”, showing the world their big day through perfect photographs, giving you an opportunity to take on board ideas from them! So, which celebrity weddings are worth becoming your wedding day inspiration? These are the three standouts.
1. Kate Middleton and Prince William
Kate Middleton and Prince William, also known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, made their vows to one another back in 2011. Naturally, as British royalty, Kate and William opted for a classic wedding. They got married at Westminster Abbey, with Kate wearing a beautiful Sarah Burton gown. At the ceremony, there was a total of two wedding cakes, 20-foot-tall trees decorating the aisle, and a carriage procession that followed. Interestingly, though, Kate actually did her own makeup for the day, having taken prior lessons.
People all over the globe have been inspired by this royal wedding, with many opting for more traditional-style weddings following the event. If you want yours to look more like a royal wedding, look into more traditional wedding venues. Aim for an unforgettable setting; one that offers classic beauty alongside opulence and extravagance. The bridal gown should be traditional, too; something like a ball gown would work well, and you can finish the bridal outfit with a tiara. Then, like Kate, you may want to do your own makeup to save a bit of extra cash! Just remember to practice first.
2. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
Indian actress and film producer Priyanka Chopra tied the knot with Nick Jonas, one of the Jonas Brothers, back in 2018. What makes their wedding stand out is their beautiful blend of cultures and traditions, in which they honored both Priyanka’s Hindu heritage and Nick’s Christian faith.
The wedding itself took place over several days, with the ceremony taking place at Umaid Bhawan Palace, where they had a celebratory Sangeet. For this, the pair wore traditional Indian wedding clothes. Following this, they had a Christian wedding ceremony at the same location where Nick Jonas wore a black tuxedo, and Priyana wore a gorgeous white gown with a veil.
When taking inspiration from Priyanka and Nick’s wedding, it helps to remember that you can take your own path in order to meet both yours and your partner’s needs and expectations of what a wedding should be. Culturally blended weddings can be exceptionally beautiful!
3. David and Victoria Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham have been a power couple for several decades now. After starting to date in 1997, they soon announced their engagement in 1998, and they were to be married in Ireland the following year.
Their 1999 wedding took place in July in the midst of summer, and it was truly lavish. Victoria’s main dress was a champagne Vera Wang gown, which she completed with a tiara upon her head, while David wore a pure white suit, although they also sprinkled in some fun and wore matching purple outfits as part of their day! They have gold thrones, had their infant son be the ring bearer, and even had a set theme of Robin Hood for the color palette.
There’s no denying the wedding was extravagant. If you want to take inspiration from their wedding, do not be afraid to throw some less-than-traditional fun into the mix!
