Henry Roth Dishes Up His Top Five Celebrity Weddings of All Time.
Roth calls for time to re-romance celebrity weddings post-Kardashian backlash.
Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco - 50s inspiration for brides
Paving the way for the celebrity brides who would walk down aisles in her wake, Hollywood golden girl Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, in a wedding befitting the legendary fairytale romance. Her silk and lace dress started a trend for the full wedding dress, and continues to inspire bridalwear to this day.
Henry says: "Grace Kelly was the first celebrity bride who made women everywhere think that maybe their prince might indeed come. Her dress was absolute perfection and more than 50 years on, is still so timeless in its elegance and beauty."
Victoria Adams and David Beckham - 21st Century Princess Re-born
On July 4th, 1999 Spice Girl, Victoria Adams, married heartthrob footballer, David Beckham, in a romantic ceremony at Luttrelstown Castle in Dublin, Ireland. Victoria wore a Vera Wang wedding dress and an eighteen carat gold crown for the service. At the wedding reception, the newlyweds requested that all the guests wore black and white and the bride and groom changed in to matching purple outfits.
Henry says: "The party was a little bit footballers wife, considering the elegance and good taste now modeled by Victoria--from the thrones to the crowns! But the ceremony was its antedote with a romantic fairytale setting. And her dress? Perfection!"
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale - The blushing bride is avant garde
In September 2002 Gwen Stefani married Gavin Rossdale in London's Covent Garden. The bride chose a breathtaking wedding dress designed by her close friend--and now disgraced designer--John Galliano for Dior. The dress, dip-dyed in pink, caused a sensation. She carried orchids and her grandmother's prayer book.
Henry says: "When Gwen revealed her dress back in 2002, we drew gasps. The perfect marriage of fairytale and rockstar... Just like her own relationship with Gavin Rossdale."
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise - The Hollywood glamour bride
Following a whirlwind romance that became one of Hollywood's most talked about couplings of all time, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wed in 2006 in a decadent ceremony at an Italian castle. Guests included Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez, the bride and groom both wore Armani and music came courtesy of Mark Ronson.
Henry says: "It started with jumping on couches, but there was nothing loud or brash about Katie and Tom's wedding. Classy, romantic and elegant--from the bias-cut Armani gown, to the intimate Italian setting."
Kate Middleton and Prince William - The ultimate classic bride revisited
Last Spring, Kate Middleton made every girl believe in fairytales, when she married England's Prince William in a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown. The wedding, watched by billions, was part pomp and circumstance and part intimate celebration--perfectly befitting of the world's new favorite couple. The wedding dress drew global gasps as perfect for the new princess.
Henry says: "The perfect 'and they lived happily ever after' moment. From the gown to the setting... This Royal wedding restored faith in a nation and in romance."
