Everyone loves a wedding that stands out, and your special day should be no different when it comes to being iconic. After all, that day is yours and you deserve that beautiful spotlight! We've compiled a list of our top 4 favorite weddings to date over the last decade. While we're not saying other weddings weren't as beautiful, we're definitely saying these special events took home the crown on being memorable!

1. The Royals

Royal weddings are always a gem when it comes to showcasing just how amazing the big day can be. When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tied the knot in May of 2018, it was by far the most iconic wedding to date. Not only did they break certain traditions, but their audience was the highest-rated and viewed wedding in history. 

2. Kardashian 'Moves' West

Kim Kardashian made the most gorgeous bride when she decided to make the big move and marry Kanye West. Spreading their wedding across France and Italy, - yup, two countries! - the couple wowed the world. As tradition to the Kardashian name, Kim made sure to celebrate in style. However, the reality star made sure her day was solely about her wedding by asking for no photos to be taken! 

3. Nikki Reed & Ian Somerhalder

The TVD star, Ian Somerhalder, met his match when he fell in love with Nikki Reed. The pair had only been dating for six months when they decided they wanted to spend forever together. Surprising their family and friends, along with their fans, this celeb duo made headlines with their wedding. The big day took place in what was thought to be a housewarming party, and you could easily say it was a complete shock to everyone in attendance!

While the celebration seemed spontaneous, the lovebirds put a lot of thought into their theme. Guests were given signature cocktails designed to represent both of the couple's personalities. To make things even more delicious, their wedding featured tacos and Cajun cuisine!

4. Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin

Bieber and Baldwin discreetly wed each other in September of 2018, eloping and catching fans off guard everywhere. Fast forward to September 30, 2019, and the couple celebrated with an official ceremony alongside friends and family. Costs for the big day were estimated to run higher than 500k, and Baldwin even had a tent to shield her from the paparazzi catching a glimpse of her custom wedding dress so she could release photos of the special moments first.

5. Nick Jonas & Priyanka Chopra

Okay, we really tried our best to keep the count to 4, but Nick and Priyanka's wedding was too good not to include! The duo sort of followed in the footsteps of Mr. & Mrs. Bieber, by having two ceremonies! First, they held a traditional Christian service that Jonas' father officiated. Then they followed that beautiful masterpiece up with a Hindu ceremony the next day.

Chopra's dress had 5,600 pearl beads and 11,632 Swarovski crystals. Now that's a way to make sure the bride shines. In addition to doubling the wedding ceremonies, the newlyweds hosted three receptions to honor falling in love. There's no better way to celebrate getting married than by reliving the happy moments again and again! 

These weddings were easily our favorites this decade, and they all made sure they stood out in some special way. From changing traditions to celebrating multiple times, we won't be forgetting about them anytime soon. As you plan for your big day, contact us at Music Garden Bands.
