More of the Most Iconic Movie Wedding Gowns

Don’t even start us on that scene where they are trying on wedding dresses at Rose Byrne’s fancy atelier - but! Let’s talk about the dress that ended up coming out of the Parisian atelier - the final result after months of waiting! According to the costume designer, the idea was to design a dress that looked haute couture (remember how Rose Byrne’s character was rather high and mighty?), but also was wearable!

Leesa Evans designed the dress for the 2011 film - and was apparently inspired by some of the more over-the-top designs by McQueen and Elie Saab.

It makes sense that there’s at least one wedding in the “Harry Potter” franchise - there were, after all, almost ten books and films! The magical series did not disappoint - and the gown, which was for Fleur Delacour’s wedding to Charlie Weasley, was designed aptly by a French designer.

Jany Temime lent their design prowess to create the dress, inspired by love - choosing facing phoenixes to form the shape of a heart! Love love love!

Knightley reprised her role as Elizabeth Swann in the film series “Pirates of the Caribbean.” While the wedding dress, which was made from gold silk taffeta and studded with pearls, did not, in fact, make it down the aisle, it was a feat for costume design!

The dress was also a key part of the plot of the film - the pirates believed it to be haunted before it was then lost forever to the heart of the sea! We live for the drama - but at least the dress was captured in movie stills!

We had to include a little Brangelina action on this list (and also let’s remember Jolie’s own iconic wedding gown with pictures drawn by her children), and we are bringing to you the dress from 2005, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Created by Michael Kaplan, the dress is simple, elegant, and very much a ‘city hall’ vibe.

The off the shoulder dress and the almost-sculpted bodice fits down Jolie’s body to a straight skirt. It cuts just below the knee and is paired with a short veil. Chic!

Pretty sure that when “The Phantom of the Opera” came out and was starring Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler, we all had a conniption. And honestly, the obsession with the musical movie is real! But let’s talk about that dress. Designed and crafted by Alexandra Byrne, the off-shoulder, lace-trimmed ivory-hued gown perfectly captures the spirit of Christine.

It captures her virtue and innocence, and yet, is effortlessly dramatic. We adore this dress, and adore this film!

Nicole Kidman is an absolute vision in the entire film, “Moulin Rouge!” - and her wedding dress look is no exception. While playing the illustrious Satine, the gorgeous courtesan, Kidman is wearing a stunning figure-hugging strapless dress. Catherine Martin won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, and we know why.

Adorned with Hindi-style jewelry and the gown with intricate silver metallic embroidery, it’s honestly a work of art. We cannot gush enough about how much we love this look!

For those costume-design geeks, you’d probably know the bit of trivia about the wedding dress Natalie Portman wore in the 2002 “Star Wars” flick. Trisha Biggar, the costume designer created the dress out of an antique bedspread.

The intricate pearl-studded, and scroll-covered gown is seriously something else - and totally fitting for the intergalactic saga. It was the perfect starting point for the gown - and we love how Biggar transformed it into such an iconic bridal look!

Trust a Bond girl to also be a badass bride. But also to wear a jumpsuit! No slinky dresses or low-cut necklines - we have a woman here who may just be carrying a weapon on her thigh. Worn by Diana Rigg, the crochet-style lace is a perfect ode to the 1960s and was designed by Marjory Cornelius.

Fun fact: she was Bond’s one wife in the franchise - and we’re happy to see her dressed that way!

Vivaaaaa oh vivaaa…Las Vegas!! Sorry, we couldn’t resist. Ann-Margret is a demure dame in the movie when she marries Elvis Presley’s character in the film.

The short sleeve dress is perfectly pretty for the summer-time shot wedding scene. With its simple lines and fabric, it hits the mark and gives you the vibe of “wedding.” It’s iconic for its simplicity!

While the majority of wedding dresses on this list have been more conservative, this one definitely blows all of those out of the water! When you’ve got Catherine Deneuve as your lead, you know she’s got the legs to pull off this look!

The French dame was jaw-dropping in the rather short wedding dress. The film, “Vice and Virtue”, which debuted in 1963, was a wartime movie, with the famous still of Deneuve’s dress exposing her undies!

Hands down, this is one of our favorite dresses of all time. Like, we have this image in our heads when we think of an iconic wedding dress and wedding dress that we’d like to wear if we ever walk down the aisle.

Bardot is, of course, a goddess, and her beauty is tripled in this Jacques Esterel bridal gown. The delicate floral lace hugs her upper body, brought in to show off her tiny waist, before expanding outwards in a voluminous triumph! Regal, refined but oh-so-dramatic.

Sophia Loren is exotically stunning in this gown, which pinches in her curves and accentuates her body shape so beautifully it hurts! The all-over lace bodice with fabric-covered buttons cascades down her front then explodes out into a large skirt also made with lace.

The 1958 film, which saw Cary Grant and Sophia Loren’s characters marry, had Loren wear an Edith Head-designed wedding dress. We are living for that soutache on net overlay! We almost think it’s an ode to Grace Kelly!

Any brides out here peeping iconic films for some dress inspiration? Grace Kelly is often a muse for many brides-to-be, not excluding her own gown which she wore when she was Princess of Monaco. But we’re here for the dress in “High Society”, which was based on the film “The Philadelphia Story.”

The dress is absolutely stunning - with a floral organza overlay and a large, voluminous skirt. Matching white gloves and a pop of cherry lipstick make Kelly look otherworldly. You can thank Helen Rose for this look!

Julia Roberts was planning on being the fairest of them all in her rendition of the Evil Queen in “Mirror Mirror.” Roberts isn’t unfamiliar with wearing a wedding dress or two for a film, but this one certainly takes the cake as the most dramatic! Eiko Ishioka worked tirelessly on the handmade gown, using 25-35 yards of fabric!

To gain its massive voluminous skirt, wired cages and corsets were required. It also weighed…sixty, yes, sixty pounds! A feat of costume design, in our opinion!

While you probably remember this film for the pink satin dress and matching gloves (and that diamond choker!), we did want to acknowledge the perfectly pretty wedding dresses that Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell wore when they walked down the aisle.

The tea-length skirts may seem a little old-fashioned, but they were drawn from the imagination of legend William Travilla! The mock-neck in white lace, which hugs the body before splitting at the bag is a beautiful foil for the bodice!

It’s bound to be a hit when film-fashion legend Helen Rose designs the dress! In the film, “The Long, Long Trailer”, Lucille Ball wears the gorgeous, extremely lacy dress in 1953 film. The all-over lace with high neck and matching headpiece is elegant and yet, very dramatic!

To pair with the gown is a shorter veil (the right choice, we think!). We’re all for over-the-top costume design, and this dress is iconic!

Oleg Cassini really made it his mission to enter the history books with this dress (whether on purpose or not), and we are obsessed with this dress. Gene Tierney, who was in fact, Cassini’s own bride at the time, wore the all-over lace wedding gown in the 1946 film.

The form-fitting and high-necked dress were paired with a long, thin veil, matching cap, and a train!

It may be a little difficult to design for a pregnant bride - but when you’re working with someone with a figure like Uma Thurman, it can’t be all that hard! For those Tarantino fans, you’ll know that immediately after that flashback, a massacre follows.

That also may be why the wedding dress image is so ingrained in our minds. But this pretty long-sleeve number with delicate lace makes the assassin look girl-next-door!

Bette Davis, (yes, Kim Carne’s song, is about this actress and her eyes!), who portrayed Judith Traherne in the 1939 “Dark Victory” is ethereal in her wedding gown and cap.

The halter neckline and graduated tulle skirt are elegant and yet a little cheeky, almost like Marilyn Monroe (though this was before her time!). Simple pearls and simple lines made this look a hit!

Meryl Streep is one of the most revered actresses of her generation, and weren’t we in for a treat when we got to see her in a wedding outfit in the film “Out of Africa”? Milena Canonero told the media that she researched for many months before constructing the costume for the 1985 film.

Karen Blixen (who is the character portrayed by Streep) wrote in her letters about her “wedding suit” - and Canonero took this as inspiration. The added touch of a white silk hat made it “a little more…I decided to make it very French, a la mode.” Love!

Patricia Ellis is an absolute vision in Edith Head’s creation. The body-skimming silk-satin wedding dress hits just above the floor, and hugs her curves all the way down! With a ruffled effect and a one-shoulder neckline, it’s romantic and dreamy but also quite modern.

The 1930s were not afraid to be a little sexy! With a hand-embellished veil that drapes well beyond her derriere, Ellis is absolutely breathtaking. We wouldn’t mind wearing that to our wedding!

This number has to be one of the more form-fitting of the bunch, and in this silk-satin, it definitely makes Claudette Colbert the belle of the ball! With a flurry of organza enshrouding her (yes, that is one long veil), and her hair pinned back in a 30s style do, she looks positively elegant.

With flowers embroidered along the neckline, and matching satin gloves, Robert Kalloch designed a winner!

While many of us think of the 2005 rendition of “Pride and Prejudice” which starred Keira Knightley, the dress we’re referring to is in the 1995 version.

Ms. Elizabeth Bennet is shown marrying Mr. Darcy in the 1995 film (this scene is left out in the 2005 one!) and is wearing a very fitting, period-style wedding dress and bonnet. We love the romanticism of it, even if you wouldn’t see one commonly worn at a modern wedding!

When you hear “Cinderella” or “Disney” you are immediately transported back to your childhood, and the image of a princess is conjured in your mind! Disney characters’ dresses are basically the mold for wedding gowns (like hello, look at Elsa in “Frozen” - her day dress is stunning). But we’re looking at the live-action remake of the Disney classic.

Lily James wears a beige, silk-organza gown with long sleeves and hand-painted florals. With its long train and sharp bodice, it was fit for a princess!

Honestly, it was inevitable that this dress would make our list. It is just so beautiful and so utterly perfect for Emily Blunt as Queen Victoria, we had to share it with y’all! The 17th-century wedding gown in the period piece, “The Young Victoria” was actually the first to start the trend of donning white at your wedding.

Designer Sandy Powell proudly told “Vogue” that she scoured “flea markets in London and Paris and bought lace and jewelry from vintage dealers.” Incredible.

Most of us agree that “The Little Mermaid” is definitely an iconic film - and that wedding dress probably influenced a lot of little girls (and boys) that day!

Sure, looking back on it, the dress isn’t exactly one that dreams are made of (and we kinda dug Ursula’s wedding dress) - but hey, Ariel was 16 and in love! She definitely had no care for what her wedding dress looked like, as long as she got her Prince Eric.

Okay yes, Katherine Heigl did wear a gorgeous wedding dress to her beachside nuptials to the dreamy James Marsden. But the dress we’re talking about is the one her awful sister, portrayed by Malin Akerman was getting fitted with.

You know, the wedding dress that was her mother’s that she cut up and pieced back together? The one that caused the catty fight-back by Heigl’s character. Anywho, we were a fan of those thin straps and triangle-bra style bodice!

So we feel that this film is GROSSLY underrated! We love Drew Barrymore in the “Cinderella”-like film, “Ever After.” It essentially follows the storyline of the classic we all know and love except it’s set in France, in a dreamy 1700s style setting. This gown referred to as the ‘breathe’ gown, (watch the movie for context!), is one of our favorite wedding dresses.

In the twist of the film, she isn’t actually getting married in the scene - but borrows her mother’s wedding dress. Also, peep the “glass slippers” by Salvatore Ferragamo.

Okay so technically “Suits” is a television series, but, we needed to pay some credit where it’s due - Meghan Markle in an antique cream dress with the most delicate floral embroidery on tulle! Clearly, it had to be on our list!

It’s a far cry from the Givenchy gown she wore to her own wedding to Prince Harry, but we are absolutely loving the V-neck gown she donned for her onscreen wedding to Mike Ross in the legal drama.

Oh, Brigitte Bardot. So effortlessly beautiful - and then they went and put her in a wedding dress. Mon Dieu! With the chic, short veil with embroidery and the dress with a neckline that gracefully caresses her neck..we’re totally flawed. This was, of course, Juliet's wedding dress in the film “…And God Created Woman.”

It’s probably one of the most iconic on our list - and we love how art imitates life, with Bardot’s own wedding dress (to the film director, Roger Vadim) mirroring the film’s dress!

It’s only the very best for Singapore’s elite. Araminta wore an exquisite wedding dress that was smattered with gold crystals across the bodice and had layers of silk and tulle staggered throughout the skirt.

The wedding scene was incredibly colorful, and the dress reportedly took inspiration from swan lake in its design.

In her marriage to Charles Hamilton, firecracker Scarlett O’Hara wore a luxurious, silky ensemble.

Her long-sleeved gown had enormous, puffy sleeves, elaborate floral appliques, and silk gloves to match.

The dress had long sleeves, a high collar, and lace from top to bottom. To complement the look, she also wore a matching veil and floral headpiece.

Rachel McAdams has worn several wedding dresses during her cinematic career, but this is her most unique one yet! As Mary in "About Time," she wore a bold, candy apple red dress for her nuptials to Tim.

Though highly unconventional (and some may say controversial), the deep, red dress was very beautiful with the rosette detail on the cap sleeves and scoop neckline.

Naomi Lapaglia (Margot Robbie) wore a classic 80s bridal style for her marriage to con man Jordan Belfort. The bodice was covered in sequins and had tons of tulle throughout the hoop skirt.

To some, the dress may seem overstated, but at the time this movie was set in, it was quite the fashion.

Jane’s (Felicity Jones) wedding dress really allowed her abundant natural beauty to shine as it was simple and streamlined.

The modest yet pretty dress had a flowing skirt and a lace-filled empire waist that was very fitting for her countryside wedding to Stephen.

Andalusia's dress in Disney’s Enchanted was really the stuff fairytales are made of! The puffy sleeves and voluminous hoop skirt were just what you would imagine a princess might wear.

Unfortunately for Andalasia, she wouldn’t get to take that dress down the aisle, but she still got her prince in the end, and isn't that way better in some aspects?

The wedding dress gifted to Maggie (Sandra Bullock) by Grandma Annie (Betty White) certainly needed some tailoring when she first tried it on; who could forget that scene?

When it was finally finished, and Maggie walked down the aisle, the vintage silk gown was a champagne-colored dream! The drapey sleeves and gathered bodice helped to add some shape to the revamped dress.

Actress Rachel McAdams has worn quite a few wedding dresses throughout her career. For her role as Paige in "The Vow," she wore a fun and frilly pink dress. It was short and playful, perfect for their wedding!

The rosy dress had a banded sash at the waist as well as sequined flowers embellished on the skirt-perfect for an unconventional bride.

Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) got married in a wedding dress that was the epitome of vintage elegance.

With the lace features on the front and the satin sleeves and skirt, it was a gown that was as timeless as Adaline herself.

With its A-line skirt, chiffon cap sleeves, and a brocade bodice, it was beautiful enough even for a modern bride.

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) wore a futuristic-looking wedding dress for the Quarter Quell's opening ceremony. She donned the dress per President Snow's request, which had a mermaid silhouette that flared out at the bottom.

The gown also featured a glittering, silver casing that wrapped around the bodice, which was very Capitol chic.

Miss Havisham (Helena Bonham Carter) wore what looked to be a very heavy dress for her big day.

The dress had a multi-textured look with all of its ruffled material and teardrop sleeves.

The high-maintenance bride, Liv (Kate Hudson), had a very fashion-forward dress.

As a time traveler's wife, Clare (Rachel McAdams) had to spend her wedding night alone. But she was still able to enjoy wearing a gorgeous dress!

The strapless, belted ball gown was a truly timeless (sorry) look that would complement any wedding style or theme.

You may not expect to see a sleeveless dress at a winter wedding, but that’s just what Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) wore in "Marley & Me."

The beautiful dress featured a ruffled neckline that added visual interest to the understated sheath. It also looked particularly lovely with the falling snow.

The empire-waist, tulle and blue details, the beaded wedding gown that Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) wore was just right for her Grecian-style wedding.

The bohemian style dress had small, blue flowers that enhanced the romantic, feminine look.

With its superior, designer structuring and layers of satin, this strapless satin ball gown was perfect for the grand wedding of Carrie Bradshaw and John James Preston.

The dual spaghetti straps created an unexpected ethereal look that was completed with a delicate tiara.

Charlotte Cantilini (Jennifer Lopez) may have often gone head-to-head with her monster-in-law Viola Fields (Jane Fonda), but she still managed to do it in amplified elegance on her wedding day.

Though Viola tried to steal the show in a wedding dress of her own, she could not match Charlotte’s glamorous silk taffeta gown complete with matching gloves.

The dress worn by Princess of Genovia, Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi (or simply Princess Mia), certainly had the same essence as that of other royal brides.

The abundance of lace, long sleeves, A-line silhouette, and off-the-shoulder design were all details typically found in gowns worn by real-life royalty like Grace Kelly and Princess Diana.

Allie Hamilton's dress for her almost-wedding to Lon Hammond was a strikingly beautiful lace number.

Indicative of the 1940s, the dress featured front buttons, an illusion neckline, and lots of lace. It also featured long, elegant sleeves and a long veil with an ornate headpiece.

"Love Actually" is a movie that makes couples discover how complicated relationships can be, but Juliet’s (Keira Knightley) avant-garde wedding dress proved how beautiful a happy ending can be.

Her dress was quite the show-stopper with its sheer, feathered overcoat. Her dress was simple and modern with a small feather fascinator that completed Juliet’s unique bridal look.

Toula Portokalos just wanted to marry Ian Miller in a simple ceremony, but then her traditional Greek family got involved.

Toula’s dress was one for the books with the over-the-top frills complete with a small bouquet of flowers on the neckline! It was the perfect over-the-top wedding dress for a big fat Greek wedding.

At the wedding of Melanie Smooter and Andrew Hennings, Melanie (Reese Witherspoon) came down the aisle in an understated cap-sleeve gown with a small veil.

The simple ensemble still culminated in a knockout, Southern Belle look, which was perfect for the knockout punch that happened later in the ceremony.

As a wedding planner, Mary Fiore (Jennifer Lopez) had seen her share of wedding ceremonies and dresses.

She chose a boat-neck taffeta mini dress for her courthouse nuptials to Massimo in "The Wedding Planner." The veiled pillbox cap added a vintage touch that perfectly suited the classy bride.

Illusion necklines were apparently very popular in the 90s as we see them featured in many movies, including this one.

For Mia Morgan's wedding in "The Best Man," (Monica Calhoun) donned a long-sleeve satin gown with an illusion neckline and a fitted bodice that created a hybrid modern and classic look.

It wasn't her final wedding dress (or wedding), but Maggie Carpenter's (Julia Roberts) gown was truly a timeless look.

Kimberly Wallace (played by Cameron Diaz) sported a very avant-garde bridal look in "My Best Friend's Wedding."

Her high-fashion, off-the-shoulder long-sleeve gown only needed minimal accessories as it was a statement all its own.

Her dress, of course, reflected the bridal fashion of the time with its cap-sleeves and empire-waist. The delicate lace on the sheer sleeves was especially beautiful!

The sleeveless, minimalist dress had charming silk buttons down the front, which added a youthful and feminine touch.

In one of the four weddings that took place in the film "Four Weddings and a Funeral," Carrie’s (Andie MacDowell) look stole the show.

The dress was an off-the-shoulder, A-line design with a draped skirt. It was all-at-once striking, elegant yet bold.

The film may have centered around George Banks adjusting to his little girl growing up and getting married, but when Annie walked down the aisle, all eyes were on her and that dress.

The light pink strapless tulle ball gown was completed with a gold crown for her marriage to Prince Akeem.

For her marriage to Jackson in Steel Magnolias, Shelby’s wedding dress was totally breathtaking. The off-the-shoulder ball gown had a subtle, sweetheart neckline and was completed with delicate details (silk buttons and a floral embellishment) on the back.

The eye-catching ensemble perfectly complemented Shelby’s voluminous, romantic hairstyle for her big day.

Robin Wright was the definition of a princess bride with her empire waist wedding gown.

For the 1987 film, the gown also featured ornate beading and embroidered details, perfect for royalty.

The second wedding of Helen North (played by Lucille Ball) begged for something other than a white dress.

Helen’s blue brocade dress and lace veil created a regal ensemble for the bride that was still feminine and beautiful. It was also part of a special moment for the couple before all the chaos began with their 18 children.

Though we did not see the actual wedding dress that Fanny Brice wore when she married Nick Arnstein.

Barbra Streisand was wearing an eye-catching, empire wedding gown for her performance with the Ziegfeld Follies when the two characters fell for each other. It was another dress that was beautiful for the time.

Though the film may not be centered around finding true, lasting love, Elaine Robinson's (Katharine Ross) pretty, the bohemian wedding gown was striking and fitting for the iconic 60s flick.

Her elegant peasant-inspired wedding gown looked as good in the back of a getaway vehicle as it did going down the aisle.

For a good portion of "The Sound of Music," Maria (Julie Andrews) is seen in very plain clothes.

But she really drew attention in her elegant structured satin gown, elaborate headpiece, and simple veil when she finally marries Captain Von Trapp.

Jo Stockton’s dress was charming yet simple, but it only amplified Audrey Hepburn’s abundant natural beauty.

The short, tulle dress was designed by Hubert de Givenchy for the film and, though she looks sad now, Jo Stockton would have a blissful ending.

Schatze Page (Lauren Bacall) wore an ultra-elegant lace, boat-neck gown with a sheer white sun hat for her marriage to millionaire J.D. Hanley.

The dress was chic and iconic for both Bacall and the charming film about women on a mission to, well, marry a millionaire.

Elizabeth Taylor was always captivatingly beautiful, but she was absolutely stunning in this satin and lace dress for Kay Banks's wedding.

Taylor’s first wedding to Conrad Hilton also coordinated with the release of the "Father of the Bride" film. She even wore Helen Rose designs for both the film and her real-life wedding.

Katharine Hepburn’s bridal look was all at once classy and feminine with her chiffon-ruffled wedding gown. The way the skirt portion of her dress flowed as she walked only added to the elegance.

Hepburn also wore a wide-brimmed hat, which really fit the bold and elegant character of Tracy Lord in the classic film.

Mae Clarke’s romantic long-sleeve gown was covered with delicate lace. Clarke’s dress was truly stunning and timeless, and she looked so elegant and innocent when posing next to Frankenstein.

The ensemble was complete with a tulle veil and headpiece for Elizabeth Lavenza’s wedding to Henry, the monster’s creator.
