This Week's Fashionable Weddings

Everyone loves a wedding, or so they say. I actually find weddings rather boring. A cookie cutter ceremony, cheaply dressed bridal party, and bland reception food do not make an exciting event. However, I do enjoy thumbing through bridal magazines and oohing over weddings where the budget must rival the revenue of a small country. This past week saw a smattering of celebrity weddings.

America Ferrera


As June dwindled to a close, the former Ugly Betty star tied the knot to her longtime boyfriend. Besides the smiling faces, the most important detail of this picture is the dress by Amsale's Christos label.

Kate Moss


The super model wore a custom wedding gown by John Galliano. Not exactly a groundbreaking fashion moment but very pretty.


Charlene Wittstock


This year's other royal wedding happened in Monaco. Despite rumors that the future princess tried to escape just days before the wedding, the ceremonies took place with all the pomp and circumstance as if nothing had happened. I really doubt the rumors are true. The couple had been dating for several years, so surely, she knew what she was getting into when she accepted his proposal. Of course, if the rumors are true, it must be dreadful to be held captive in a foreign country where they have made you their princess...

For the civil ceremony, the new princess wore a robin's egg blue, Chanel pantsuit. Later that day, she wore a seafoam gown to the celebratory concert.


The next day was the big wedding ceremony where the bride wore an off-the-shoulder Giorgio Armani gown, which took 2,500 hours to make.



For the gala dinner, the bride wore an Armani Prive cocktail dress, which I think is my favorite look from the weekend's festivities.

Royally Inspired

Some things are worth waking up at four in the morning to watch...

The Duchess Formerly Known as Kate Middleton

The wedding gown was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, and I must admit I didn't think Kate was the McQueen type; however, this gown is perfect for her. At first glance, this gown looks like it was heavily inspired by Grace Kelly's wedding dress. Other possible inspiration could be Queen Elizabeth II's wedding dress and Julie Andrew's dress from The Sound of Music. I haven't been able to find a similar version of this dress, but no doubt copies will be available in the next few months. In the meantime, Vogue pattern V2979 is a great resource if you know how to sew or know somebody who does.

For the reception, the bride wore another gown designed by Sarah Burton. As someone who is always cold, I think the mohair bolero is a nice touch. This Henry Roth gown worn with the Bette Cardigan from Anthropologie will have you channeling this black tie affair in no time. For those who sew, Simplicity 2400 or 3784 would be a great place to start.

Pippa Middleton

Pippa's maid of honor gown was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. I love this dress - the silhouette, the buttons running down the back, everything. Kleinfeld offers a few gowns with a similar look. Or, go DIY and alter Vogue pattern V2965.

At the reception, Pippa wore a gorgeous emerald evening gown designed by Alice Temperley. Steal the look for yourself with the V-Neck Prom Dress by Blush or this prom dress by Dave and Johnny. Simplicity 4481 is a DIY alternative.

Wedding Guests

Oh, what a beautiful morning dress: Sophie Windsor with husband Lord Freddie Windsor and Joss Stone. Photos from InStyle

The wedding required guests to wear morning dress, a daytime formal dress code. To get the look for yourself, pair a shift dress with a light jacket. Complete your look with a fabulous fascinator, clutch, and heels. For those who sew, try V1231 or V1237 for the dress and V8052 and V7464 for the hat.
