1. Ariana Grande

 The Dress: Ariana wore a custom gown by Vera Wang for her intimate wedding: a lily-white silk charmeuse, empire-waist column gown with a sculpted neckline, exposed bra strap closure, and plunging back. Vanity Fair

The Venue & Theme: The ceremony was at her home in Montecito, California — very intimate, very “just the closest people”, warm and personal.
How you can pull inspiration:

• Gown style: If you’re drawn to elegant simplicity, consider an empire or column shape with minimal embellishment yet elevated detail (exposed strap, plunging back).

• Venue & vibe: Home, garden, or intimate venue? Keep the dress understated, but choose fabric and cut that feel elevated.

• Sophia’s Bridal & Tux tip: Ask for gowns with clean lines and luxe fabrics (silk charmeuse, crepe) that feel couture but are accessible. If you’re going for an intimate setting, you don’t need overly dramatic trains — just the right cut and detail.

2. Sofia Richie

 The Dress: Sofia wore several custom gowns by Chanel for her wedding in the South of France. For the main ceremony: a floor‐length embellished lace gown with a criss-cross neckline, bespoke detailing including “something blue” initials and hearts sewn into the inner lining. Grazia

The Venue & Theme: The wedding took place at the luxury seaside property Hôtel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc on the French Riviera — chic, luxurious, old-world glamour. Glamour
How you can pull inspiration:

• Gown style: If your aesthetic leans luxury and elegance, go for lace embellishment, fine detail, bold neckline (criss-cross or halter) and quality craftsmanship.

• Theme & venue: A luxury destination or upscale venue can handle high fashion. If your venue is intimate locally but you love luxe, you can still pull elements of this look (lace, embellishment) scaled to your budget.

• Sophia’s Bridal & Tux tip: They’ll have gowns with embellishment, lace overlays, luxury feel. If you love the luxe look but want to keep timelines or budget in check, talk to their stylists about designer alternatives, or “off-the-rack” options with luxe look and shorter lead time.

3. Lily Collins

The Dress & Venue: Lily Collins married Charlie McDowell in 2021. For her gown she wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown made from French Calais-Caudry lace, featuring a hooded cape with Swarovski-beaded flowers and silk organza petals — a dramatic yet romantic look. ELLE

Theme & Venue Vibe: The wedding was romantic, ethical (she chose a vegan dress). The lace and hooded cape gave it a fairytale / enchanted-wood vibe.
How Brides Can Pull Inspiration:

• If your venue is a forest, garden, or somewhere nature-rich, opt for lace overlays, capes or cloaks, hooded details, or detachable dramatic elements.

• For a gown that says “enchanted romance” without being over-the-top, pick one signature detail (cape, hood, lace) and keep the rest clean.

• At Sophia’s Bridal & Tux, you can ask for gowns with lace and removable dramatic elements (caped or hooded options) so you get both “wow” and practicality.

4. Selena Gomez

The Dress & Venue: In September 2025, Selena Gomez married producer Benny Blanco at a private ceremony in Santa Barbara. Her custom Ralph Lauren Collection wedding gown featured double-faced silk satin, cascading hand-draped panels, and a halter neckline with lace and macramé details. Page Six

Theme & Venue Vibe: Elegant and intimate—private, luxe yet not over-the-top; relaxed coastal locale (Santa Barbara) with classic sophistication.
How Brides Can Pull Inspiration:

• For a coastal or semi-formal venue, choose luxe fabric (silk satin) with elegant draping rather than heavy embellishment.

• A halter neckline can be a refreshing alternative to strapless or long-sleeve—especially for summer or outdoor venues.

• At Sophia’s Bridal & Tux, look into gowns with rich satin fabrics and draping details, and ask about custom personalization (lace collar, macramé detail) to make it your own.

5. Demi Lovato

The Dress & Venue: In May 2025, Demi Lovato married Jordan “Jutes” Lutes in California wearing a custom Vivienne Westwood gown of pearl white silk satin, featuring a corset bodice and cathedral-style ivory tulle veil. The gown involved five fittings with the couture team flying from London. People.com

Theme & Venue Vibe: High fashion, bespoke couture with strong personal style; modern yet timeless, in a California setting.
How Brides Can Pull Inspiration:

• If you’re drawn to fashion-forward or couture feel, go for a strong silhouette like a corset bodice, structured satin, and a dramatic veil.

• Even if your venue is more casual, you can dress it up with couture details in the gown while keeping décor simpler.

• At Sophia’s Bridal & Tux, you can explore gowns with structured bodices, strong tailoring, and luxury fabrics.

6. Kate Upton

The Dress & Venue: Kate Upton married Justin Verlander in Italy (Tuscany) and wore a gown by Valentino – white dress with lace sleeves, full skirt – suited to a hillside church destination wedding. Glamour

Theme & Venue Vibe: Destination wedding in Italy, classic romantic style, picturesque setting (Tuscan hillside church) with a sophisticated yet relaxed feel.

How Brides Can Pull Inspiration:

• For destination weddings (Italy, Europe, vineyard, etc), choose a gown that travels well but still has presence — lace sleeves, full skirt, classic silhouette.

• The venue already adds charm, so your dress can be more about softness and romance than heavy embellishment.

• At Sophia’s Bridal & Tux, look for gowns designed for travel/transport (less bulky trains if flying), lace details, and full skirts for a romantic destination look.

Here’s how Sophia’s Bridal & Tux helps you make this real:

• They offer special-order gowns that take 6–8 months to arrive (ideal if you’ve spotted a dress with a long lead time).

• They also have off-the-rack and their “With Love, Sophia’s” collections for brides on a faster timeline.

• Their stylists can help you interpret these celebrity looks for your own wedding: matching dress to venue, theme, personal style, and time of year.
