Celebrity Brides Who Shunned Tradition In Favour Of Pink Wedding Dresses

Traditional? No. Stunning? Yes. - by Grace Back

Celebrity Brides Who Shunned Tradition In Favour Of Pink Wedding Dresses

While traditionally brides look to white when it comes to their wedding day gown, many choose to shun tradition in favour of something that suits their own personal style—from Emily Ratajkowski in a two-piece mustard suit from Zara to Keira Knightley in a tulle Chanel mini dress. After all, there are no rules when it comes to planning your special day. 

Of those many brides that choose to add a personal touch to their nuptials, pink-hued dresses have been a celebrity favourite over the years. From blush to bright pink, many have opted for the colourful shade when saying "I Do."

Below, we've rounded up all the celebrity brides who decided to wear pink on their wedding day. 

Portia de Rossi in Zac Posen

The Australian actress wed television host Ellen DeGeneres in an intimate ceremony at their Los Angeles home (in front of just 19 family and friends). For the occasion, de Rossi opted for a stunning halterneck gown by designer Zac Posen, featuring a tulle skirt in a light shade of pink.

Jessica Biel in Giambattista Valli 

For her 2012 nuptials to Justin Timberlake, the actress wore a gorgeous petal pink strapless gown by Giambattista Valli. 

"I have never been crazy about all-white wedding dresses, for me at least," the actress told ELLE U.S. "It was a bit of a leap of faith at the time. But it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. [Putting it on], I felt like I had made the right choice. I felt elegant. And it moved like a dream."

Jenna Dewan in Reem Acra 

Wedding Channing Tatum in 2009, the Step Up actress wore a stunning pale pink gown by Reem Acra. 

"I loved working with Jenna. She is so fresh and young. Her input on what she envisioned for her gown was essential and I am thrilled to have made her dream wedding gown come true," the designer told People of the gown.

Kaley Cuoco in Vera Wang 

For her wedding to Ryan Sweeting, the Big Bang Theory actress wore a custom pink Vera Wang gown with a sweetheart neckline. Cuoco has since remarried, and proved once again she's every bit the unconventional bride, donning a white lace jumpsuit to her second wedding to Karl Cook.

Blake Lively in Marchesa 

In a very private ceremony, Blake Lively tied the knot with Ryan Reynolds in a silk tulle Marchesa gown featuring a fitted bodice, illusion crystal beading and rose gold embroidery. No full-length photos of the gown have ever been released, but we can imagine the actress would have looked stunning.

Gwen Stefani in Dior

Merging traditional with the unconventional, Gwen Stefani combined a classic white strapless wedding gown with her own signature flair in a pink ombré John Galliano for Dior dress, which she wore to marry Gavin Rossdale back in 2002.

"When I got engaged, I said I wanted [my dress] to be over the top, but not traditional—I wanted it to be everything," the singer said.
