The Most Iconic Celebrity Weddings and How to Recreate Them

Celebrity weddings are the ultimate source of inspiration for modern brides and grooms. From jaw-dropping wedding gowns to lavish wedding venues and unforgettable guest experiences, celebrity weddings set trends that ripple through the world of weddings for years.

When it comes to tying the knot, your wedding day should be as unique as you and your partner. If you’re dreaming of a wedding with star-studded extravagance, this guide explores the most iconic celebrity weddings and how you can recreate the aesthetic.

5 celebrity weddings and how to recreate the magic

1.       David and Victoria Beckham

David and Victoria Beckham’s wedding, hosted at the grand Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 1999, was one for the history books. The couple didn’t shy away from making bold fashion choices and the affair was unapologetically over the top, full of statement details and very much a product of its time. From the matching purple outfits, golden thrones and a spectacular castle backdrop, the Beckham’s wedding showed that a wedding doesn’t have to be understated to be stylish, it can be dramatic, themed and fun.

When it comes to planning your own wedding, don’t be afraid to opt for a bold colour scheme or alternative wedding theme that reflects your personality. Have fun with it!

2.       Nick Jonas and Pryanka Chopra

Just 5 months after getting engaged in July 2018, actress and film producer Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas were married in a multi-day wedding extravaganza. Taking place at the breathtaking Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India, their wedding celebrations included both a Western wedding ceremony and a traditional Indian ceremony. Nick and Pryanka’s multi-day wedding celebration stood out for its balance of tradition and modern luxury. Every moment was intentional and deeply personal, making it one of the most memorable celebrity weddings of the decade.

If you also feel like one day isn’t enough for your nuptial celebrations, hosting a wedding weekend might be the perfect solution. For inspiration and ideas, check out our Ultimate Guide to Planning a Wedding Weekend.

3.       Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker

Reality star Kourtney Kardashian and Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker first tied the knot in Las Vegas. An Elvis Presley impersonator officiated the ceremony, although it was not legally binding. A month later, the couple were legally married at a California courthouse with only a few close friends and family members in attendance. Kourtney and Travis had their third epic wedding celebration on the Italian Riviera, hosted at a private villa and styled entirely by Dolce and Gabbana.

Kourtney and Travis’s wedding celebrations proved that you don’t have to follow tradition. Your wedding day is about you and your partner, and every detail should reflect your unique personalities and preferences.

4.       Giovanna Falcone and Tom Fletcher

Giovanna Falcone and McFly frontman Tom Fletcher’s wedding was a heartwarming, intimate affair. Taking place in London’s One Marylebone, the couple chose a venue that balanced elegance with intimacy, creating a space that felt relaxed yet beautiful. The highlight of this celebrity wedding, of course, was Tom’s surprise musical wedding speech that won the internet’s heart when it was shared on YouTube 12 years ago. Today the video has over 24 million views!

We’re not saying you need to write your own song to perform on your wedding day, but if you do that’s great. Tom and Giovanna’s wedding serves as a beautiful example of how intimate, thoughtful and personalised moments can make your wedding day feel extra special.

5.       Sophia Richie and Elliot Grainge

Sophia Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, and Elliot Grainge, music executive, got married back in 2023. The couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. The wedding took the internet by storm, captivating fans and followers with its stunning details and star-studded guest list. From the couple’s outfit choices to wedding décor and all the little details in between, everything exuded a chic elegance, and it's safe to say we all fell in love with it.

So how do you take some of the elements that made up their wedding and include them into your own wedding? Whether it’s the wedding dress, wedding makeup or wedding flowers, the key is to take the elements you love and tailor them to reflect your own unique style and preferences.

Tips for planning your own celebrity-inspired wedding

• Choose your wedding theme early – consider what’s important to you and your partner, what you value and what style reflects you both as a couple. Getting this decision out the way early in the wedding planning timeline will help you with booking a wedding photographer, choosing your wedding flowers, wedding décor and wedding stationery as these decisions will all be influenced by your overall wedding theme.

• Focus on details – add a touch of beauty, charm and personalisation to your wedding by carefully considering your wedding décor and accessories. Think floral arrangements, table centrepieces, aisle runners, lighting and wedding stationery. All these finer details come together on the day to set the overall tone for the wedding, creating a memorable and visually stunning experience for you and your guests.

• Work with a wedding stylist who understand your vision - depending on your budget, you may want to consider hiring a wedding stylist. A wedding stylist is responsible for creating the overall look and atmosphere of your special day, handling all the details that are often overlooked. Your wedding stylist should prioritise your needs, so it’s important to find someone that resonates with your own personal style and unique wedding theme.
