Happy first Friday of 2014!
I can't think of anything better than a New Year's Eve wedding right now, can you? Especially when it's a celebrity in a petal pink Vera Wang gown that ties the knot. That's right! Actress, Kaley Cuoco, had her Molly Ringwald moment when she married pro tennis player, Ryan Sweeting, this past NYE.
We've seen more and more celebrities in recent years stray from tradition when it comes to the dress and we happen to like it. Shenae Grimes-Beech is a recent favorite and I enjoy the sincere story behind her choice. Believe it or not white was not always a wedding tradition. The white dress first became popular in the Victorian era when Queen Victoria wore an all white lace gown at her wedding to Prince Albert. Before that European women were wearing a variety of colors to be wed. So it seems what's old is new, as fashion usually goes, and of course celebrities are the most daring bunch. Here are our top 5 celebs, in no particular order, that took blushing bride literally and pulled it off:
1. Jessica Biel's sweet and flirty custom Giambattista Valli gown really does just make you want to run off to Italy and marry Justin Timberlake, doesn't it?
2. Kiera Knightly has been spotted in this short powder pink number on more than one runway occasion since her wedding day. I guess if you've got Chanel Haute Couture, flaunt it! *It's rumored that even trendsetter herself, Queen Victoria, had her lace gown altered to wear again
3. Reese Witherspoon is the perfect southern belle in blush.
4. Anne Hathaway's Valentino gown is literally breathtaking. It's perfection - not to mention hand-painted!
5. Gwen Stefani, back in 2002, was doing ombre before ombre was a thing.
