20 Celeb Wedding Dresses That Are Too Gorgeous For Words ( + 5 That Are Just Meh)

Admit it, if you're a woman, nothing excites you more than a wedding catalogue ― well, weddings in general. Watching Say Yes to the Dress is even so much better than Pinterest actually.

Bridal fashion is among our favourite, but nothing beats Hollywood wedding gowns. You and I both know that we can spend an entire evening scrolling through the world's prettiest and most famous wedding dresses that will stand, and have stood, the test of time. We bet you that you remember Kim K's wedding gown like the back of your hand.

From Grace Kelly, to Victoria Beckham, to Kate Upton, these gowns have all blown our minds and had an impression on us. Celebrities have basically provided us with the most memorable bridal moments and have also all made us dream of our very own fairytale wedding. We have rounded up the most iconic wedding dresses of the glamourous Hollywood, but unfortunately, there are a couple that did not inspire the world as much, too. From short to long and from simple to elaborate, this list of gowns is a must for all your bridal entertainment needs.

25 Kate Upton Brought Classic Glam To Italy

Celebrity nuptials have us gasping, and so did Kate Upton when she walked down the aisle. The Sports Illustrated and Vogue cover girl certainly had us picking our jaws up off the floor in her frothy Valentino gown that was as romantic as her fairytale wedding in Tuscany, Italy. While the princess-style wedding dress was absolutely beautiful, it was the romantic sheer lace that had us all talking.

24 Sofia Vergara's Dream Come True

The drop-dead gorgeous Sofia Vergara can make anything look fabulous, but on her wedding day, Joe Manganiello had the most striking bride. Those who religiously follow fashion would not have been surprised that Vergara appointed Zuhair Murad as the designer for her big day. We're still blushing over Vergara's wedding gown because not many can pull off a corset-style gown that is bedazzled with sequins, crystals, and pearls.

To top it off, Murad wanted to make sure he incorporated a removable skirt with a flowing train for a really dramatic effect.

23 Miranda Kerr Made Us All Emotional

No lie, years later and we are still so hyped about Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr's, dreamy wedding dress.

A-listers have access to any designer they want, so when Kerr knew she was going to walk down the aisle, she wanted a dress identical to Grace Kelly's gown, which is still one of the most iconic dresses to this day. Kerr's Haute Couture Dior gown barred no skin, and instead was embroidered with lilies to resemble the classic and sentimental fairytale gown of Grace Kelly. The delicate bridal gown was special and chic as she graced her wedding guests with an opaque satin A-line gown and gorgeous high neckline.

22 Who Could Forget Kim K's Florence Wedding Bridal Gown?

We certainly kept up with this wedding day ― most of the world was anticipating beauty queen Kim Kardashian West's lovely wedding gown.

Her first wedding dress from her wedding to Kris Humphries was not a winner among many, but when it came time down to walking down the aisle with Kanye West, she stunned us in her custom-made Givenchy gown. The lace mermaid gown, that was designed by Riccardo Tisci, is now one of the most memorable celebrity wedding dresses. It fit Kim K like a glove and the detailing was beyond lavish. With a sheer lace back with sheer paneling, lace sleeves, and a long train, who could not be awe with this dress?

21 The Tennis Powerhouse Was A Showstopper

Some of us grow up dreaming of our big day with a princess-like ball gown, and then there are some, like tennis player Serena Williams, that turn it into a reality. The tennis powerhouse had a wedding like no other; she did not only have one posh gown, but rather three. Stunting in three different looks on her wedding day, the gown for the ceremony still has our hearts. No matter how many times we wipe our eyes, we cannot forget the elaborate Alexander McQueen tulle creation.

20 We're Sure Beyoncé Wants A Redo

We don't despise it, but we don't adore it either ― we just know that Queen B could have done way better. In April 2008, Beyoncé Knowles married her beau in a very private ceremony, but fans from all over gathered just to get the chance to be the first to see it. Some celebrities decide to keep their wedding under wraps, and Beyoncé did so because she did not want to share her dress with the world for one particular reason; it was not her first choice.

The sweetheart neckline certainly suited her, but the dress was about emotion more than anything else since her mother designed it.

19 We Would've Gladly Carried LC's Wedding Dress

Most of us look to Lauren Conrad for some good ol' fashion advice and tips, and so, on her wedding day, you bet you we were all waiting to see her much anticipated gown ― evidently, it did not disappoint. The gown perfectly reflected LC as a person; simple yet glamorous.

The charming Chantilly and Alençon lace gown was designed by Mark Badgley and James Mischka, and with its sheer embroidered back and 10-foot train, it was fit for a princess.

However, that is not all, the beloved The Hills star shone bright like a diamond with the pearls and crystals dazzled all over her dress.

18 We're Certain John Legend Will Write A Song About Her Dress

Who does not go gaga for Chrissy Teigen and John Legend? This duo is #couplegoals without question. In a wedding ceremony that was rather private, Teigen made a grand entrance at her whimsical and lavish Italian wedding.

And, because celebrities can have it all, Teigen decided she'd make her big day extra special with three stunning Vera Wang dresses.

The gown that still has us in awe, though, is the strapless ball gown with the structured bodice and an added touch of European glam with floral applique that she flawlessly pulled off during the outdoor ceremony.

17 When Gwen Stefani Went Against Tradition

We're still scratching our heads over this bridal gown, because there were just so many things that went wrong. It was one of those dresses that people envied because it was unique and that others loathed because it was too outlandish.

When Gwen Stefani got hitched in 2002, she wore a Dior gown designed by John Galliano that was completely out of the ordinary; made of silk faille with a white bodice, the bottom suddenly transitioned into a hot-pink skirt and train.

The antique-style lace veil was gorgeous as it added a touch of romance and elegance, but the balayage look just wasn't happening.

16 Ciara Rocked Her Wedding Dress

Not every gown needs to be over the top to look posh, but there was that something special about R&B star Ciara's wedding gown that checked everything off our bridal-gown checklist.

She got married to her hunk football player husband Russell Wilson in a castle, so she teamed up with powerhouse Roberto Cavalli to create the most magical gown ― and Peter Dundas did. It had a dashing trumpet silhouette, an abundance of tulle, a crisscross plunged neckline, and floral embroidery - there was nothing ordinary about this.

15 Idina Menzel, The Real Princess

Is there any cut that is more appealing than an off-the-shoulder look?

Actress and singer Idina Menzel still has us "frozen" in time with her stupendous wedding dress.

To fit the bohemian look she was going for, she appointed the talented Carolina Herrera to design her dress for her big day, and it was totally spot-on. Menzel took our breath away in a floor-length lace sheath that remained simple and chic but still bohemian because of the tricot and lace sleeves.

14 Snooki Had A Real Ball

It is rare to see our favourite meatball Snooki in a gorgeous gown, but on her wedding day, she left us speechless. And if you're a fan of the show, you know how much Nicole Polizzi loves to break it out on the dance floor.

The day she exchanged vows with hubby Jionni LaValle, her dream wedding was complete with a Great Gatsby themed-wedding and two gowns. When she said her "I dos," she looked stunning in a lace ball gown, which had floral embroidery and a long train. It was the perfect dress for her 1920s-themed wedding. And when it was time to party, she shook it off and wore a mermaid silhouette dress.

13 When Whitney Port Challenged Tradition

From the dawn of time, celebrities have experimented with bridal gowns, and so did fashionista Whitney Port. The star from The City and The Hills slays everything she wears and is always on point with her fashion. Her wedding took place in a tropical desert, so the trendsetter opted for a shorter gown that showed off her long legs. And no other could have made a statement like she did with her high-low wedding dress. Still, it remained elegant with the all-over botanical embroidery and mesh long sleeves.

12 Leave It To Olivia Palermo To Do It Differently Than The Rest

We all have this traditional idea of wedding gowns engraved in our minds, but some stars have the capacity to completely challenge that. And one who did just that was style icon Olivia Palermo ― we certainly gasped when we first saw her non-traditional wedding dress. If you recall, fashion guru SJP did the same when she wed.

On Palermo's wedding day, she walked down the aisle in a three-piece Carolina Herrera ensemble, that though completely “un”wedding-like, completely blew us away. She strut in a cream cashmere, long-sleeve sweater, with white shorts that had a floral embellished tulle skirt layered on top ― talk about being a showstopper.

11 Ashlee Simpson Wanted To Make Us Look Bohemian Too

When we think of Ashlee Simpson, we immediately think bohemian chic, and she certainly took that to heart on her wedding say.

When it came to her big day, Simpson was the most delicate and beautiful bride in a lace two-piece number that magically created by Houghton. What stood out most to us was the three quarter sleeves and crop top. To add a romantic flair, the top was embroidered with pearl details, too. Another standout feature, the star opted for a skirt hemline that was raised higher in the front. And the perfect boho bride completed her look with a beaded headband.

10 Just Like A Disney Princess

If there is any celebrity that had the most magical wedding, like straight out of a Disney film, it was Kate Bosworth.

In 2013, the star made her day very special with an intimate wedding surrounded by 50 of their closest friends and family ― we were in awe. However, what made our jaws drop most was how she arrived to her ceremony in a stagecoach pulled by two horses while looking like the poster woman for Oscar de la Renta. Her gown was not complete without an 8-foot-long and 16-foot-wide train. Need we say more?

9 We Still Don't Dig Jessica Biel's Dress

No, we're not being petty because she married our favourite boy-band member Justin Timberlake, we just believe the star with an envious figure could have done way better.

Jessica Biel, much like Gwen Stefani, opted for something totally non-traditional, but we did not fall head over heels for it. She aimed for a dress that was romantic and feminine, so designer Giambattista Valli took her requests and with his magic fingers, crafted a dress we surely did not expect to see her in. It was a blush/light pink hue and strapless, made with silk organza confection and a tiered bottom. The floor-length veil was gorgeous, but it just did not mesh well.

8 Oh Salma Hayek, You Were Breathtaking

Salma Hayek is an iconic exotic beauty, and on her wedding day, she did not disappoint. In 2009, Hayek had her special day and she made it on our list because her dress was classic and timeless. She met her husband François-Henri Pinault at the alter in a Balenciaga wedding gown that had all the chicness a classy lady would want. With a plunging V-neck line, dazzled with lace, and a full tulle, this dress will always remain influential.

7 We'll Remember This Gown, Always

This dress is so iconic, that the public could've visited it in person ― yes, we're talking about Amal Clooney's insanely beautiful and posh wedding gown by the late Oscar de la Renta. This bride was spot on, and until this day, has us dreaming of her inexplicably stunning wedding gown she strut in in Venice. It took a while before the duo gave us a peek at their wedding photos, but when we finally did, it was as stunning as we predicted. It looked like a fairytale; from the French lace, to the off-the-shoulder neckline, and to the hand-embroidered pearls details, it was all-around magical.

6 The Bridal Gown We'd All Want

Actress Emmy Rossum is an A-lister who has the style game on lockdown; at many luxe events, she is often seen prancing the runway in Carolina Herrera, so, you know what that means. When it came to her big day, it was inevitable that Rossum was going to pick her fashion bestie Herrera to design her gown. All eyes were on the bride with her original off-the-shoulder dress that had a super flattering and elegant crisscross bodice. The dress was the perfect match for her posh NYC wedding venue.

5 This Dress Would've Probably Better Suited Another Event

Not going to lie, we have no clue what went through Kandi Burruss' mind when she said "yes: to the dress.

The singer and Real Housewives star is a stunning woman, but the wedding dress she wore when she got married in 2014 is certainly not a winner in our books. First off, it looked like a figure-skating outfit; there is nothing wrong with being non-traditional, but there is nothing about the gown that we love. The mermaid-style gown was surely made for her, but with the mesh top, shiny Swarovski crystals, and an ostrich-feathered train to finish off, it was just too much.

4 Nikki Reed Made Us All Blush

When Nikki Reed married her beau Ian Somerhalder in what was an intimate wedding, she did not go over the top. Instead, the Twilight actress brought tears to her guests and Somerhalder too when she walked down the aisle in a jaw-dropping lace gown that absolutely flattered her figure. Boho-inspired, backless, and with three-quarter-length sleeves, her wedding dress will forever be a #weddingdressgoal.

3 Her Dream Came To Life

Some were fans of this dress and others disregarded it, but this wedding gown, is hands down, one of the most gorgeous and unique dresses. When it was Kate Moss' turn to have all eyes on her, she opted for something outwardly different; a gown that brought back to life the chic and glamourous 1920s. To get what she envisioned, she asked designer John Galliano to make it come to life. The dress, with an illusion neckline, had a classic chiffon and gold embroidery all the way down to the ground that made quite the entrance.

2 Portia, Portia, You're Oh-So-Memorable

The amazing duo Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres exchanged vows in what was a very sequestered ceremony, so we felt grateful to have access to even just one photo of de Rossi's undeniably magical gown.

It took place in their home in Beverly Hills, but that did not mean de Rossi was going to go for something simple. Designer Zac Posen chose the perfect blush hue to make us fall in love with the beautiful ball gown.

1 Is It Alright To Question This Reality?

Lesson learned: You should really try to reflect the theme of your wedding with your dress Allison Williams proved that to us with her wedding dress from the most fabulous Oscar de la Renta.

If you think some of the other dresses on this list were flawless, pay attention to the intricate details on this A-line silhouette dress. Floral embroidery and long sleeves are a hit in Hollywood, but Williams' dress is too dreamy to be real.
