Margherita Missoni & Eugenio Amo
Kicking off our countdown- the wedding of Margherita Missoni & Eugenio Amo. The gown was always going to be stunning and stunning it was! Tying in with Margherita’s own personal gyspy inspired style, her gown (which friend Giambattista Valli helped design) featured dramatic sleeves and floral detailing. The ceremony was held in the Italian town of Brunello with the reception on a nearby farm, entertained by a gypsy band and acrobats.
Anne Hathaway & Adam Shulman
The lovely Anne Hathaway married actor and jewellery designer Adam Shulman in Big Sur, California. Anne wore a designer gown from Valentino which featured a blush pink train. 250 guests celebrated the wedding weekend which had a “natural, simple” vibe.

The guests celebrated over two days culminating in a a gala dinner reception.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
I’ll add a snapshot of this wedding as soon as they’re released, but until then, we’ll have to imagine! Planner Tara Guérard coordinated the big day of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds which was said to be a romantic barn wedding. The bride wore Marchesa and the wedding took place in South Carolina.
