5 Luxe Celebrity-Inspired Wedding Ideas You Should Steal

Celebrity weddings always leave us in awe with their lavish décor, extravagant wedding attire and exquisite receptions, making us want exactly the same venue or a wedding gown. While most of us couldn’t afford those ravishing celebrations even in our dreams, we could still steal some of their ideas, adjust them to our budget and make it look just as luxurious, without ever letting anyone notice it didn’t really cost ten times less than the celebrities’ version.

Destination wedding

One of the favourite parts of celebrities’ weddings is for them to host their nuptials abroad. From Amal and George Clooney, to John Legend and Chrissy Teigen and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, they all chose to tie the knot in Europe, and all in Italy for that matter. Venice, Lake Como and Florence are just some examples of magnificent European destinations you can choose for your big day. If exotic destinations are more your cup of tea, feel free to copy Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo and have your vows exchanged with exotic beachy vibes in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Wedding gown

Every bride-to-be dreams of the perfect wedding gown, and now you can copy one from your favourite celebrity. If you’ve opted for an elegant wedding, then a lace ballgown wedding dress just like Ciara wore at her wedding is the perfect dress to look up to. An elegant blush gown with delicate embroidered appliqué featuring sheer tulle long sleeves and a v-neckline will be the best choice for your big day. All you need to add some stylish accent to your wedding attire is a pair of elegant wedding shoes and you’ll look fabulous. Think about wearing strappy satin sandals with bejewelled straps, to introduce an extra bit of glitz to your glamorous ensemble.

Sweet treats

Celebrities really like to splurge on their celebrations, and when it comes to the wedding cake they certainly know how to leave all the guests breathless. Sofia Vergara, for example, wanted her cake to be epic and she made it happen. One of the ideas you could copy for your wedding is to have a quilted five-tier cake with sugar flower layers on every second level. If you’re a true foodie, you’ll want to make it showstopping, so feel free to copy Sofia till the very end and let the cake be the anchor of a sprawling sweet table that will feature a custom sundae bar.

Flower arrangements

Flower arrangements really add a dose of sophistication and make that final touch that you couldn’t imagine any wedding without. This is precisely why all the celebrities pay so much attention (and a huge amount of money) to their floral arrangements. From rose petals down the aisle, to centrepieces with cascading blooms and to huge floral walls, the choice is rather versatile. If you’d want to go big and copy Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding idea, think about having a magnificent floral wall comprised of white roses, white peonies and gardenias for a beautiful ceremony or a photo backdrop.

Hair and make-up ideas

Hair and make-up are one of the bride’s biggest concerns, since the choice of beautiful hairstyles always seems endless. However, there are a few hairstyles celebrities wore for their weddings which you can easily pick for your big day. Loose, wavy locks are the choice of many a celebrity bride, and Bar Refaeli mixed it up with a braided half-up style tied in a sweet little bow. If you’d prefer something less loose, you can easily copy Kate Bosworth’s romantic, feminine hairstyle that features a tight, low bun.

The make-up is never an easy choice either, so just think about what you’d feel the most comfortable wearing. If you’re a fan of naturally-looking maquillage, go with the look à la Kim K, and add a bit of drama to your eye make-up. If, on the other hand, you want to go bold, feel free to bring that fierce look on with a ravishing red lipstick and dramatic highlighter, and you can easily look glamorous without being overdone.

Final thoughts

If you’d fallen in love with the way your favourite celebrity’s wedding was arranged, but you felt devastated for not being able to splurge as much on your own, worry not, because you can easily copy any of their wedding ideas and implement it into your happy day without going broke. All you need is a bit of creativity and you can easily have a lux wedding just like the ones from wedding magazines.
