To celebrate the month of love, we’re looking back at some of our favourite weddings from the past year and dishing out some awards.
MOST OUTFIT CHANGES
Nicole Warne & Luke Shadbolt
Known for her stylish Instagram feed @nicolewarne, the superstar influencer wed her boyfriend in a gorgeous ceremony spanning over three days. While the groom stuck to classic suits, Nicole had a whopping five wedding dresses made for the celebration in New Zealand. With custom designs from Valentino, Carolina Herrera and Toni Maticevski, this was a truly chic wedding.
MOST EXTRA VEIL
Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas
The lavish ceremony of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas – or ChopJo, as they are now known – took place over a weekend in Rajasthan, and while there were plenty of wedding highlights to talk about, everyone was focused on Priyanka’s headgear. Featuring a 22-metre wedding veil, it required five people to carry it behind her.
MOST TALKED-ABOUT WEDDING
Chiara Ferragni & Fedez
When two social media heavyweights tie the knot, you can imagine the amount of chatter they'll create. Between Chiara and Fedez, the Instagram power couple have a total of 21.2 million followers combined. Post-wedding, analytics company Launchmetrics estimated $36 million worth of chatter generated from their ceremony. Talk about a buzzy wedding!
BODY POSITIVITY AWARD
Princess Eugenie & Jack Brooksbank
Even though the wedding was her day, Princess Eugenie still made an effort to honour people living with scoliosis, and to thank those who cared for her during and after surgery. Her custom Peter Pilotto dress was designed to dip lower in the back, to ensure her post-surgery scar was shown. “I think you can change the way beauty is,” she said. “You can show people your scars.”
WEDDING OF THE YEAR
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry
Arguably the year’s biggest and most-covered, the wedding of Harry and Meghan sent the world into a royal fever that started months before Meghan walked down the aisle. Even after the wedding, people still couldn’t get enough of the couple, as evidenced by gossip mills churning out stories of royal spats and wedding dress plagiarism drama.
MOST OVER THE TOP
Isha Ambani & Anand Piramal
When you think “wedding singer”, you probably won’t think of Beyoncé, yet that was exactly what happened at this ceremony. In what was probably India’s most-anticipated wedding of the year, the union of Isha and Anand brought two of the country’s most influential (and richest) families together. Cue Queen B holding a private concert for guests like Hillary Clinton, and an app to help you navigate the palace grounds.
