Dress Inspiration Celebrity Style

I bit the bullet and made an appointment to go dress shopping. I had plans to wait until the last possible minute because I am horrified that I will find a dress and then end up hating it or see one I like better. Everyone says, just stop looking after you find IT. Well, that's all fine and dandy but I work at a Bridal Shop part time and am surrounded by them. Anyways, my friend Ashley who works at the Bridal Shop with me has been scolding me for wanting to wait so long, plus my mom lives in Arizona during the winter so it's easier for her to do it sooner. So, I booked a private showing for SUNDAY. EEK!

When looking for wedding dress inspiration there is only one place to start....celebrities! Celebrity weddings make people (including me) go crazy! A celebrity wedding is the mack daddy of all events and causes a media frenzy that no other event can. So, naturally, I looked at some of my favorite stars to see when they donned on their big days.
Ashlee Simpson wore Monique Lhuillier and looked stunning. I was surprised by how traditional her dress was! She did punk it up with her hair and the dark reds in her wedding colors. How sweet is this picture?

Avril Lavigne wore Vera Wang, and again I was surprised by how traditional it was. I love this dress! I think it's classic and timeless but still fun.

I love Christina Aguilera but I think she looks like a tranny most of the time and her wedding was no different. I think the train is beautiful and her body is bangin' but the overall look does not look classy to me. Thoughts? Oh, she wore Christian Lacroix.

Once again, not getting the whole "beautiful, classy bride" feel from Fergie. But, I LOVE her and Josh. She wore a Dolce & Gabbana dress which underwhelmed me. It's very simple, which I like, but it just looks like a white evening gown. And I hate the random black decals on the back.

Gwen Stefani wore a Dior wedding dress that is SO Gwen Stefani. It's not my style at all but I loved it and she looked amazing. She was classy and elegant but was still her punk Gwen self.

No words necessary. Sigh.

Katie Holmes wore a Giorgio Armani wedding dress that I am really torn about. I love the vintage glamor and I think she looks beautiful but something about it bugs me. I don't know if it's the enormous veil or the fact that this is just a strange union. What did you think when you saw Katie on her wedding day?

I LOVE, LOVE., LOVE Khloe's Vera Wang wedding dress! I LOVE the lavender belt, I love the bottom, I love how it fits her! I love how she wore her hair! I love the bridesmaid dresses! I love Lamar's gray tux! I think she looked stunning and the whole wedding came together beautifully.

Victoria Beckham wore this beautiful Vera Wang dress that I think is absolutely gorgeous. It's a little big for my taste but I LOVE the top. This just doesn't seem like Victoria though....ya know? I wonder if Victoria were to get married right now if she would pick the same dress....I think no.

Finally, is the mack daddy of all brides. The woman whose career blew up simply because she got married! Probably the most viewed wedding dress, hair and overall look.....
JESSICA SIMPSON
Jessica's Vera Wang wedding dress is without a doubt my favorite celebrity wedding dress of all time! It's incredible. It classic, timeless, beautiful, sexy, intricate, breathtaking....I could go on and on. Basically, it's everything a wedding dress should be. AND, Jessica's hair was GORGEOUS. Ugh! Amazing! Why did they have to break up? I'm still not over it.
