25 Movie Wedding Dresses That Are Making Us Go Starry Eyed All Over Again

There is something about weddings that bring out the secret romantic in everyone.

So to satiate every dreamer's whimsical side, here is a roundup of 25 of the most beautiful wedding dresses to have ever graced the big screen. Just so fans can all take in their breathtaking beauty and go starry-eyed all over again. After all, if they were impressive on TV, these dresses have likely lived on in fans' imaginations every since their debuts.

Sounds like a plan? Here's a sneak peek:

On this list, there are movie wedding dresses that were so popular that they inspired famous wedding gowns in real life. Dresses that sent their designers to the library, the flea market, and even an extended stay in a small Paris lane. And dresses that had to live up to the expectations created by the books they were based on.

Want to know which is which? Let's dive in without further ado.

25 Princess Mia!

She may have been an offbeat one, but she will always be Hollywood's most-famous princess, even though she lived only on the pages of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries at first.

The dress (And Princess Mia) then came alive later on in Disney's movie adaptations.

Is it surprising now that the beautiful Gary Jones wedding gown that was worn by Princess Mia during her almost-wedding in Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement made its way into all our private wedding boards on Pinterest?

24 Melancholia

Lars von Trier's award-winning film, Melancholia is the story of two sisters, Justine and Claire, and how they hold on to their deep love for each other in the face of debilitating mental illness and an impending apocalypse.

But to understand why he wanted Kirsten Dunst's character, Justine to wear a frilly, over-the-top Barbie wedding dress in the movie, you will actually have to see it.

The dress, created by costume designer Manon Rasmussen, was a US bridal confection and helped Dunst stay in character because "it was a dress [she] didn't like."

23 The Beautiful Belle When She Married The Beast

When Emma Watson took up the role of Belle for the remake of The Beauty and the Beast, she was adamant that she would not propagate negative body-image ideals by wearing a corset that squeezed her waist into nothingness.

Maybe that's why we loved all her ensembles so much! We could imagine ourselves in them. Especially this beautiful cream-colored celebratory gown with its sheer three-quarter sleeves and floral embellishments.

It was a vision of happiness and fairytale endings. Which it was!

22 The Dress In Which Carrie Bradshaw Was Stood Up At The Altar

When Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) walked out in that voluminous Vivienne Westwood wedding gown in the SATC, her friends on-screen and movie viewers off-screen let out a collective gasp of awe and wonder.

The dress was an ivory dream uplifted to the stature of haute couture.

And who could forget that emerald feather fascinator she had worn on her head? We still swoon over that dress to this day! Too bad the dress's debut involved Carrie missing out on her own wedding.

21 An Iconic Dress From An Iconic Movie

Here's a fact that only die-hard Star Wars fans know about the iconic wedding scene in the Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. The beautiful gown worn by Natalie Portman in the movie was actually designed from an antique lace bedspread by designer Trisha Biggar and was later embellished all over with fine pearls and intricate scrollwork.

Isn't it just exquisite? And yes, it was as heavy as it looks. But can you imagine a bedspread literally being transformed into a dress? We love it.

20 The Love Story That Disrupted Our Exams

If there ever was a book that caused an entire generation to feel guilty about reading it, it was Twilight. Because Stephenie Meyer is an incredible author even though the plot was a feminist's nightmare.

And then came the movies. One after the other. Until this scene happened and fulfilled our dreams of watching Edward and Bella tie the knot finally.

Because let's face it, we just wanted to know what she would walk down the aisle wearing.

And we were not disappointed by Caroline Herrera's long-sleeved, lace-embellished, cut-out back creation. It truly was one of its kind.

19 Not The Father Of The Bride

When it comes to movie weddings, you can't go any more iconic than the original Father of the Bride (1950) and its over-the-top wedding party. And the same applies for the wedding gown Elizabeth Taylor donned as she walked down the aisle as Kay Banks, the lovesick daughter of wealthy lawyer Stanley Banks.

Envisioned and designed by Helen Rose, the dress was so iconic that when Taylor got married in real life to her first husband, Conrad Hilton Jr., she asked Rose to design a gown for her inspired by it.

18 Pretty In Pink

You cannot watch The Vow and not have your faith in true love be reinstated. It was a powerful movie based on the crazy real-life story of Kim and Krickett Carpenter.

And since the movie revolved around the marriage of Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum's characters, of course, there was a wedding in it!

But not an over-the-top wedding like we see in most Hollywood romantic flicks.

It was a low-key romantic affair and the wedding dress-a short pink frock with embroidered flowers on the skirt-fit the occasion perfectly.

17 Emily Blunt As The Young Victoria

Sandy Powell had her work cut out for her when she was tasked with designing a wedding dress for Emily Blunt in The Young Victoria.

For one, there was a distinct dearth of vintage fabrics capable of evoking the fashion sensibilities of that century. And for another, she had to recreate a gown that Queen Victoria could have plausibly worn without directly copying the original at Kensington Palace.

Well, she managed to pull it off quite admirably in the end with this extraordinary piece complete with a flower crown that mimicked the one Queen Victoria had worn during her actual wedding.

16 Funny Face: Audrey Hepburn In Givenchy

Audrey Hepburn and her wispy bone structure were standouts in an era where voluptuous women, like Marilyn Monroe, were considered the ideals of beauty. And before we knew it, the world had changed its perception of what beautiful was supposed to look like.

Well, she did it again in Funny Face as Jo Stockton where instead of a classic full-length wedding gown, she opted to wear a shorter tea-length Givenchy dress for the wedding scene.

And the world exploded again!

15 Bill Weasley Weds Fleur Delacour

We would have been sorely disappointed if the movie adaptation of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding was anything less than spectacular. But the directors knew what they were doing when they hired French designer Jany Temime to create a wedding dress fit for a wizards' wedding.

That's how Fleur ended up walking down the aisle in a beautiful organza wedding gown that had a pair of phoenixes facing each other on the bodice.

And the best part was that the silhouette of the birds formed a sweetheart neckline for the ethereal bride.

14 A Bride Out Of Her Fairytale

Disney's Enchanted was a satirical movie that made fun of animated princess epics and their formulaic happy ever afters. And then before we knew it, it had convinced us that life was much better when you lived with the hope that you would one day find your happy ever after too.

Bravo, Disney! Bravo!

But the cherry on top for this feel-good movie was definitely Giselle's over-the-top, pouffy wedding dress with its huge sleeves and tiny waist. Especially the part where she dragged it everywhere around New York-the place where there was no happy ever afters. Or, at least, that's what the witchy Queen thought.

13 Ageless Adaline

Blake Lively has a knack for choosing roles that seem to be created just for her. Thus, it was no coincidence that she did a spectacular job as the ageless protagonist of The Age of Adaline.

And then there was the wedding. A beautiful affair with a touch of whimsy where Adaline Bowman walked down the aisle dressed in a vintage wedding gown with lace details and embroideries.

The dress was designed by Angus Strathie and managed to stun us all.

12 Amanda Seyfried's Wedding Dress In Les Miserablés

Amanda Seyfried's character, Cosette, in Les Miserablés was a sweet, dutiful daughter who never lost her innocence even though life put her through the grindstone in her childhood days.

And Paco Delgado, the designer of Cosette's wedding dress for the movie, knew he would have to evoke that sweetness in the gown he created for this sweet girl.

That-and extensive research into life in Paris during that century-was what inspired the gossamer-pink wedding gown Seyfried finally wore as she walked down the aisle to wed Eddie Redmayne's character.

11 "My Heart Always Beats At The Sound Of Music… "

If you haven't seen The Sound of Music, what are you waiting for? It is and will always be a classic, regardless of what your age might be. And don't even get us started on the songs.

So of course, it's on this list. After all, who can forget the church bells ringing when Maria and Captain von Trapp finally tied the knot? And the Dorothy Jacobs wedding dress that accompanied this scene did it all the more justice with its modest V-neckline and satin finish.

10 The Simple Shift Wedding Dress

Gwyneth Paltrow did a terrific job as Emma in the movie adaptation of Jane Austen's famous novel. And the final wedding scene was just a cherry on top.

So much that the beautiful empire-waist wedding gown made with crepe silk and embroidered net sleeves became an instant bridal favorite once the movie was released.

However, Ruth Myers, the designer of the gown, warned that this particular style was quite unforgiving unless you had a perfect figure as Paltrow's in the movie. We can still dream, can't we?

9 All You Need Is Love

Kiera Knightley as Juliet in Love Actually taught us to live with our hearts open. Because love is truly all we ever need. And her wedding dress matched the festivity of the storyline as she walked down the aisle to marry Peter.

The dress-or rather the wedding frock-had a distinct whimsical feel to it. After all, it was adorned with beautiful white feathers that matched the light and romantic setting of the scene. But it was a perfect fit and inspired plenty of 2000-era weddings.

8 The Girl On Fire's Wedding Dress

When Katniss stepped out on stage in a wedding dress for her pre-games interview with Caesar Flickerman, the dress impressed and awed everyone who saw her. And then she twirled, setting the dress on fire and becoming a mockingjay.

So, of course, Tex Saverio, the designer of the wedding dress in the movie, had large shoes to fill. And fill them he did.

The iconic dress had a wire-cage bodice with an organza corset underneath and came with a voluminous ruffled organza and chiffon silk skirt.

7 Shirley Ross In Paris Honeymoon

She might have been left for another woman in the movie, but this Cinderella wedding gown worn by Shirley Ross in Paris Honeymoon (1939) will always have our hearts. And what a gown it was!

Designed by Edith Head, the gown featured a fitted bodice, diaphanous sleeves, and a sweeping ruffled chiffon skirt that was perfect for swishing around on-screen and bursting into songs. Fit for a royal, we say! And of course, it was, since Ross was playing the role of the beguiling Countess de Remi.

6 Mamma Mia!

Mamma Mia reminded us why we will always love ABBA so much. And the power of an all-ensemble cast of high-acclaimed actors to take a comedic musical to the next level and leave us all with happy hearts by the end.

Nevertheless, it was a wedding movie, and so we were expecting the dress to be nothing less than spectacular. And it didn't disappoint!

The Greco-Roman gown by Ann Roth was just perfect for the island-wedding theme.

5 THE Cinderella Wedding Gown

When Lily James was cast as the iconic Disney princess Cinderella in the 2015 movie, we knew she would eventually emerge onscreen wearing a wow-inducing wedding dress. But what we did not know was that the gown was going to take a different approach to the classic Cinderella silhouette.

That's why the gown Sandy Powell created for this princess was a simple beige organza piece with hand-painted flowers on the skirt and sheer long sleeves. The intention was to project an ephemeral feeling, and the dress hit that description right on the head.

4 The Bride Of Frankenstein

It was eccentric. It was campy. It was an impressive movie masterpiece!

That's Bride of Frankenstein (1935) for you. A scare fest with a bizarre yet playful ambiance. And Elsa Lanchester played her part as the monster's mate in it beautifully.

Including the scene where she had to walk down the aisle dressed in a bell-sleeved column wedding gown with bandage gloves wrapped up to her elbows.

It was an iconic scene. But what was more iconic was the fact that Vera West designed the entire ensemble using just cheap surgical sheets!

3 She Didn't Marry The Great Gatsby

We might have seen only a flash of Daisy's wedding dress when she wed Tom Buchanan, but it was enough to make our eyes go wide in wonder.

The gown created by costume designer Catherine Martin was a fringed and beaded frock with a feathered headdress that suited that era's obsession with Art Deco.

And it made Daisy look like a goddess. Martin received an Academy Award for Best Costume Designer for the movie, and it was clearly warranted.

2 How To Marry A Millionaire

Lauren Bacall's wedding dress in How to Marry a Millionaire was an exquisite thing.

Made with embroidered ecru lace with a heavy satin lining and iridescent sequins by the famous designer William Travilla, this gown inspired a whole era with its unconventional fit-and-flare style and a daring cold-shoulder neckline.

The dress was recently auctioned off in 2011 for an estimated $8,000 - $12,000. But we reckon it will always look the best only on Schatze!

1 The Bride Who Won The War

Best friends turned enemies turned best friends again. The storyline of Bride Wars was as hilarious as it was relatable. After all, besties do tend to behave like squabbling siblings sometimes.

And the best part was we got to see two amazing wedding gowns for the price of one movie! Both of which were Vera Wang creations.

But honestly, if we had to choose, Kate Hudson's tulle ballgown wedding dress with its sweetheart neckline and purple sash around the waist was our favorite. Just because it had a bit of purple in it!
