9 times celebrities have talked about what it was really like to wear their daring wedding dresses

Speaking with Vogue during her last dress fitting, Bieber also said she knew "from day one" that she wanted late designer Virgil Abloh to create the gown she'd wear at her wedding.

"I didn't want somebody who was a wedding-dress designer," she told the publication. "I just feel like my style and my street style is such a part of who I am."

Bieber went on to say that she was "specific" on the sleeve design, which extended over her hands, and the gown's corsetted silhouette.

"I feel good. I feel beautiful," she said while wearing the dress.

Bieber wore two additional dresses on her wedding day, both of which were daring.

"I never loved the idea of white for a wedding because I'm not a pure woman," Ratajkowski told Vanity Fair. "I'm a woman with a lot of character and experience and life."

She said she wanted to wear red, but later found a mustard-yellow suit and "just knew that it was the one."

"I also just love the idea of a suit, especially at City Hall, because it's like you're taking care of business," she said.

Not only did the actor's dress take 1,826 hours to make, according to People, but it also involved a 75-foot veil, hand embroidery, and 2,380,000 mother-of-pearl sequins.

"When we went in for the sketch presentation, they created exactly what I envisioned for myself on my wedding day… and I said, 'Yes' to the dress," Chopra Jonas told People.

On her Instagram story in 2020, the model celebrated Alexander Wang's 37th birthday with never-before-seen photos of the wedding dress he designed for her in 2014. She captioned the photos: "I'm still not over it."

The sleeveless gown had a deep, rectangle plunge down the middle, and two see-through panels covered with mesh at her sides.

She then posted another photo to her story to share that the dress still fit her. But at the bottom of the photo, she included the note: "Adam ripped it so I could dance better."

Her sheer, asymmetrical gown was strung with pearls and glass beads, according to Vogue, and had a tall slit in its skirt, as seen on the model's Instagram page.

"My design process for the reception wedding dress was the opposite feel of the romantic ceremony dress," Upton told Vogue. "I wanted a dress that I could have fun in, but that still brought the glamour."

Speaking with The Times in 2020, Allen said she had rented one dress, but changed her mind less than two hours before her wedding. She had been shopping at a dress-rental shop in Las Vegas, Nevada, and had tried on "Dolly Parton-esque numbers" alongside her daughter Ethel.

"I had rented a dress, which was on its way to the hotel, then Ethel said, 'Let's keep looking,'" she told the publication.

"That dress wasn't even on the rail, it was in a backroom," Allen added. "The girl in the shop said, 'What's the occasion?' I was, like, 'I'm getting married!' She said, 'Well, I've got this dress, it's not really a wedding dress …' I tried it on. Ethel was playing this game called Roblox on my phone. And I said, 'What do you think?' She looked at me, looked back at the phone, and said, 'I really don't think you're leaving this shop without it.' Aged eight."

"I always knew that I wanted the mermaid style with a very sleek, sexy feel," Parrish told Vogue during her final dress fitting.

So when she saw Vera Wang's 2016 bridal collection, she immediately spotted her dress.

"I saw it and I instantly said, 'I need this dress — this is what I want," Parrish said. "I didn't have anyone other than Vera in mind."

"I still can't believe I got to wear Celine couture on my wedding day," Charrière wrote on Instagram. 'What a dream come true."

She recently spoke with Elle and said she "naively" underestimated the reaction to her reception dress, which was designed by Harris Reed.

"When I got married in my see-through lace dress, there was a lot of pushback on the fact that you could see my lingerie," she told the publication. "Perhaps naively, I really didn't expect it."

"Some people were ruder than I thought was necessary," she continued. "But it did make me realize that not everyone is comfortable with baring their skin — and that's totally fine."
