Fairytale weddings are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, but some A-listers take it to a whole new level. From sprawling international ceremonies to guest lists that resemble award show red carpets, these celebrity weddings redefine the meaning of lavish. Let’s delve into the world of opulent nuptials and explore some of the most extravagant ceremonies that sent shockwaves (and maybe caused a royal wedding budget to wince).

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West: A Parisian Prelude and Florentine Finale (2014)

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding wasn’t just a ceremony, it was a luxurious event spread across two continents. Guests, flown in on private jets, enjoyed a pre-wedding dinner at the iconic Palace of Versailles in Paris. The ceremony itself was held at a picturesque 16th-century fort in Florence, Italy. Extravagance was evident in every detail, from the hand-carved marble tables engraved with guest names to the performance by Andrea Bocelli. The price tag? A cool $12 million, solidifying its place as one of the most expensive celebrity weddings ever.

Isha Ambani & Anand Piramal: An Indian Extravaganza (2018)

Opulence takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to Indian weddings, and Isha Ambani, daughter of India’s richest man, did not disappoint. Her wedding to Anand Piramal was a multi-day extravaganza that reportedly cost a staggering $100 million. Extravagant musical performances, bespoke designer outfits, and a guest list that included global celebrities and business tycoons made this wedding a spectacle for the ages.

Grace Kelly & Prince Rainier III: From Hollywood Royalty to Monégasque Princess (1956)

This one goes down in history. Grace Kelly, the epitome of Hollywood elegance, became Princess Grace of Monaco when she married Prince Rainier III in 1956. The wedding, estimated to have cost around $7 million (a hefty sum in the 1950s!), was a lavish affair with a gown designed by Helen Rose that became a fashion icon. The event solidified Kelly’s status as a global icon and ushered in a new era of fascination with real-life fairytales.

These are just a few celebrity weddings that went above and beyond. From Elizabeth Taylor’s eight weddings (each with its own level of grandeur) to David Gest and Liza Minnelli’s short-lived but star-studded ceremony, celebrity weddings continue to capture our imagination. Whether it’s the extravagant details, the A-list invitees, or the sheer star power, these lavish events offer a glimpse into the world of wealth and glamour that surrounds Hollywood’s elite.
