    I think it is unfair sometimes to have celebrity wedding pictures floating aorund everywhere because they are un-attainable unless you have hundreds of thousands to spend on a wedding. 

    That being said, i enjoy looking at their pictures as much as the next girl.

    ps. What is your all time favorite celebrity wedding?

    Celebrity weddings?  Not at all. 

    Most of them are a bit much for my taste.  I find all the bling, club lighting, and things hanging from the ceiling over the top and a little cheesey...there's a little too much "spectacle" involved in those weddings.

     

    I can't even picture one that I like.  When one coordinator told me that she worked on Jo-Lo's wedding (not sure which one of the three), I was kind of turned off!

    I don't follow celebrity gossip so I have no idea what celebrity wedding even looks like.

    I wouldn't say they inspired me at all, since I knew exactly what I wanted.  I think they're too over-the-top and extravagant for most people, and, like you said -- who really is dropping that much money and isn't a celebrity?  Half a million dollars on a wedding seems a bit extreme to me! 

    However, I will admit, I was sucked into the Kate Middleton/Prince William wedding last spring.

    I was actually struggling with choosing earrings when I saw Kate Middleton's. I might've picked up the first pair I found that looked similar to hers because they matched the style of my dress and I loved the look. 

    Actual celebrities though? Not at all.

    @mink:  lol "not sure which of the three"

    I can't think of a celebrity wedding that has inspired me... I do remember thinking Carrie Underwoods was particularly terrible.

    @jessiesdream:  lol, ditto!  From what I hear through the grapevine about celebrity weddings, it sounds like they're too focused on appearances and not focused enough on the marriage.  I guess hence why many of them are measured in HOURS instead of DECADES!!!

    No, they are generally too over the top for me. I did really enjoy the royal wedding last year. I pretty much love anything Kate wears.

    I loved Khloe Kardashian's wedding. Some celebrity weddings are a bit much for me but I do love to look at all the florals.

    I actually don't pay that much attention to celebrity weddings, unless it's a celebrity I'm really into, so I'd say that celebrity weddings didn't affect my own choices at all.

    Not at all. They are so OTT.

    I do remember thinking someones wedding dress was pretty but I can't remember which celebrity, lol. It might have been Catherine Zeta Jones.

    @abbie017:  I couldnt agree more, the royal wedding was so exciting!

    The only other celebrity wedding I have ever seen that I loved was Hilary Duff's (it had a lot of great personal and vintage touches, and although it obviously WAS over the top, it just felt quaint and personal from the pictures! Even the cake was vintagy!)

     

    @LGenz:  I HATED carrie underwood's wedding too! Her dress was weird on her and she was even wearing a huge tiara. ick.

     

    ps. This is embarrasing but my best friend is very into celebrities and gossip so I have started to read OK and US magazines lately too. There always seems to be another over the top wedding featured in those magazines every week, and i couldnt tell you whose is whose. They just dont stand out to me as being romantic.

    Not at all. They are very over the top and not my style. I prefer something simple and personal.

    Apart from the Royal Wedding, which was lovely and classic (give me a cheaper, scaled down version of that any day!), celebrity weddings have never appealed to me! Too much... conspicuous consumption... yeuch...

    Absolutely none whatsoever. We could never have afforded most of the stuff they have. Besides color or flower/decorating ideas (obviously on a much smaller scale), they all seem too overdone for me.

    I did love the photos of Tori Spelling's beach elopement to her current husband. Also Megan Fox's- that's about as romantic and down to earth as it gets to me.
