Whether you believe in true love or not, there's one thing we can all agree on: these wedding dresses are ah-may-zing.
Celebs pulled out all the stops this year to make sure that they not only had the perfect day but also the perfect gown, calling in big names like Victoria Beckham, Jenny Packham, and Vera Wang to make them stunning numbers for their nuptials.Though all of the looks were gorgeous in their own right, there was two clear themes to 2016's gowns: boho chic and luxe glam. In fact, quite a few ladies even combined the two, which meant miles of jaw-dropping lace and plenty of intricate beading and florals that beg for a closer look.
Take a look at our 5 favorite wedding gowns from this year:
1. Eva Longoria
It pays to have Victoria Beckham as your BFF! For her May 21 wedding to José Bastón in Mexico, Longoria walked down the aisle in a curve-hugging, custom-made silk crepe dress created by her good friend. "I asked Victoria to do my dress because I wanted it to be special and made with love, and I knew that Victoria would make it with love," the actress told Hello! magazine. "Victoria was one of my witnesses, too. She signed the paper that says I was here, so it was a Victoria Beckham weekend."
2. Italia Ricci
Hello, princess! The Designated Survivor star took our breathe away in this strapless James Clifford ball gown worthy of Cinderella for her Oct. 15 wedding to The Flash star Robbie Amell.
Ricci actually found her dress while filming scenes for her last TV show, Chasing Life. "It's funny, because when we were shooting the scene of April trying on wedding dresses, in between takes we were at a bridal shop, so I was looking around. I was like, 'This is convenient!' And I found my wedding dress," she told ET in January. "I bought my wedding dress from the place where April was trying hers on."
3. Audrina Partridge
When Patridge exchanged vows with love Corey Bohan in a picturesque, beachside Hawaiian ceremony on Nov. 5 -- which she described as"magical" -- her Pallas Couture gown perfectly fit the pair's low-key, hippie-adjacent aesthetic. Her custom-made spaghetti strap dress, created in Australia, featured lace detailing along the bodice, which seamlessly flowed into the delicate train.
"The vibe I was going for was Boho Glam -- I wanted it to feel beachy but also fancy and romantic, and they completely nailed it!" the former reality star wrote on her blog this week. "I felt like a princess!"
4. Nicole Johnson
With a dress this breathtaking, why would you want to keep your wedding quiet? Four months after the beauty queen secretly tied the knot with Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, the pair celebrated with a beautiful ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Oct. 30. Johnson wore a gorgeous, custom Julie Vino Bridal gown that featured an intricate lace cut-out bustier with a sweetheart neckline and a curve-hugging skirt with a thigh-high slit.
5. Kaitlin Doubleday
There's enough drama on Empire, so it's only fitting that Doubleday's wedding look was carefree and elegant. The actress walked down the aisle in a custom floral lace gown by Mark Zunino Atelier with cap sleeves and an open back for her outdoor ceremony to fiancé Devin Lucien in Big Sur, California on May 6.
She later changed into a cocktail dress, also by Zunino, for the party. "I needed classic and beautiful, and then I need to wear something risque and fun, so I did both," she told ET. "Mark Zunino made it from beginning to end. It took months and meeting with him, and it was one of the most awesome processes of this wedding.”
