Ah, KimYe! Who could forget the extravagance, the opulence and the madness that was Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's nuptials? It all started in Paris, France, with a private lunch with Valentino, followed by a lavish party (and live concert by Lana del Rey) at the Palace of Versailles. The next morning their entire wedding party - including their 600 guests - were transported to Florence for the ceremony itself. Kim wore a Givenchy Haute Couture gown - a long sleeved, backless, white lace gown - for her third trip down the aisle. Giving her away was her step-father Bruce Jenner, and serenading them Andrea Bocelli. The groom (and their 11-month-old daughter, North) also wore Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. It all ended with an epic party, plenty of photobooth shots and, of course, fireworks.

Naturally, Clooney looked beyond dapper in an Armani suit, and his bride stunned in a classic Oscar de la Renta gown. (Two, in fact, she changed into a Gatsby-inspired, tasselled frock for the reception.) Guest included Matt Damon, Cindy Crawford, Bono, Emily Blunt and American Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Weeks later they hosted another do in the UK - at Danesfield House Hotel and Spa in Marlow-on-Thames, Buckinghamshire - for Amal’s friends and family. 


Angelina Jolie (finally!) married Brad Pitt at an intimate do in their French estate in August. The wedding was planned with, and by, their children, right down to Angelina's dress.

The back of her train and veil were covered with colourful drawings made by Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Vivienne, Shiloh and Knox. A bit mad, but totally charming!

Solange and Alan said 'I do' at the Marigny Opera House in New Orleans, arriving on white vintage bicycles; the bride's bike basket carrying her bouquet!

Ashlee Simpson married Evan Ross in September-time, only weeks after he sister's big day. Rather than the opulent, OTT-feel of Jessica's do, Ashlee and Evan chose something more bohemian and relaxed - think huge dream catchers and tents.

Topping it all off, the ceremony was officiated by Evan's mum, legendary singer Diana Ross. She also serenaded them at the reception. Lucky things.
