A Royal Wedding

Hearts are breaking all over the world! The future King of England has finally proposed to longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton in Kenya. The two of them are adorable together, at least one of the world's most desirable bachelors has picked a great mate in Kate.

As for her ring, well, you may have seen it before.

Prince William said, "As you may recognise now, it's my mother's engagement ring. So of course it's very special to me, as Kate's so special to me now as well... It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today and the excitement and the fact we are going to be spending the rest of our lives together." While the sentiment is sweet, I don't know that I would want a ring from a very public divorce. 


The wedding enthusiast in me hopes that they have a large, televised event that I can watch from my home, but for their sake I hope they get to have the type of wedding THEY want.

My top 10 WORST celebrity wedding gowns!

As promised, here is my roundup of the top ten most atrocious celebrity wedding dresses. Some of these are unbelievably bad!

Number Ten: Danielle Spencer

Oh, it started out so beautifully! This dress could have been a contender for one of the best, if only that slit weren't so darn high! The Armani gown had 10,000 clear Swavorski crystals sewn onto chantilly lace. My question: How does one SIT in such a dress?

Number Nine: Pink

Oh my, that hair was bad. Did she not have time to fix it after her exercise class? I also do not think the bodice fit her well, it made her look a little... erm.. saggy. I'm not much of a fan of pick up skirts, but I suppose this could have been worse. Pink married Carey Hart in January of 2007 in Costa Rica. Her lace and satin gown was designed by Monique Lhuillier.

Number Eight: Victoria Beckham

The dress itself isn't all that bad. I think the crumb catcher top looks a little bit off, but I do appreciate the traditional shape of the Vera Wang gown. What I take issue with is the bouquet. Are thost apples? What on earth inspired her to choose that awful, vine mess? Also, shouldn't a bride look happy on her wedding day?

Number Seven: Chelsea Clinton

I had high hopes for the former First Daughter's dress, but I was quite disappointed with this Vera Wang travesty. The laser cut organza looks like a rumpled mess, it's too trendy of a look to me. I pictured Chelsea in something more figure hugging and I definitely would have pegged her to wear something classic.

Number Six: Heidi Montag

While Chelsea may have been surprisingly bad, I fully expected Heidi to show up in something awful. Again, Monique Lhuillier designed this gown, which is called "Symphony" from her Spring 2009 collection. The skirt is supposedly inspired by peacock feathers, but all I see are fish scales. Added to the busy ensemble were over a million dollars of borrowed Neil Lane diamonds. While I think each piece individually is gorgeous, she looks a bit like a gypsy with the sheer amount of jewelry she is wearing. My mom always told me to remove one accessory before walking out the door. I think Heidi should have removed four or five.

Number Five: Carrie Underwood

Yikes. This Monique Lhuillier custom-made dress looks like something a Jersey girl on Say Yes to the Dress would pick. The sheer chantilly lace bodice with exposed boning is erring on the trashy side. Underwood described her dress as "girly and pretty, and it's simple and glamorous at the same time." I think we possibly have different definitions of what "simple" means. The beautiful singer would have looked much better in something similar, but toned down.

Number Four: Britney Spears

The dress she wore for her ceremony to Kevin Federline wasn't all that bad. Her reception dress, however, was shocking. Can one even call that a dress? I want to put some pants on her! And, what's with the bra strap hanging out the sleeve? A few years after the divorce was finalized, Britney was spotted in an airport wearing the exact same dress, which is absolutely bizarre.

Number Three: Celine Dion

Now this one is over- the- top. It took 1,000 hours to complete the Mirella and Steve Gentile silk creation. Her train was twenty feet long, imagine carrying that around! She donned a 7-pound Swavorski crystal tiara that had to be sewn in to her head. That's right, sewn. The level of pain she must have experienced is astounding, especially considering she resembled an alien.

Number Two: Pamela Anderson

I always say, there is nothing as tacky as a drunk bride. I stand corrected. There is nothing as tacky as a drunk bride in a barely-there bikini. The Baywatch babe married rocker Kid Rock on a yacht in Saint Tropez and made headlines for her itty- bitty wedding attire.

Number One: Katie Price

Katie Price, also known as Jordan, is a British "celebrity." She was determined to have the longest wedding dress on record, so she ensured her pink tulle and satin monstrosity was 2,700 feet long. Everything about this look is bad, from the pink tiara, to the revealing top. Bless her heart, this poor dear just looks TACKY!

My top 10 celebrity wedding gowns

Throughout the years, countless celebrities have wowed us with their show-stopping gowns. These ten are, to me, the most timeless of them all.

Number Ten: Christina Aguilera

She married Jordan Bratman in November 19, 2005 in Napa Valley. Her elaborate, Christian LaCroix gown was made of organza and silk. I adore the Spanish flair of her ruffled train, and the vintage, beaded rosary she carried in lieu of a bouquet. Check out her pretty mantilla veil!

Number nine: Katherine Heigl

Just two days before Christmas 2008 the Grey's Anatomy star wed singer Josh Kelley in a knock out Oscar de la Renta silk faille dress. Everything about her look was vintage, from the ruffled collar to her birdcage veil, she brought back the romance of ages past. I love the silhouette on her curvy figure.

Number Eight : Tori Spelling

Her wedding took place on the grounds of her father, Aaron Spelling's estate. The bride wore a custom Bagdley Mischka gown, Tori worked closely with the designers to get exactly what she wanted. She drew much of her inspiration from 1920 flapper fashions, and carried the "Great Gatsby" theme through the reception. Her marriage to Charlie Shanian may not have lasted forever, but that stunning dress will certainly not be forgotten.

Number Seven: Audrey Hepburn

This Balmain dress was classic Audrey. No wonder a lifelong style icon chose such a infinitely stylish, tea-length dress for her wedding to Mel Ferrer in 1954. She was cute as could be, I love the fresh flowers in her pixie length hair.

Number Six: Caroline Bessette- Kennedy

That look of pure joy on Caroline Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr. running out of a historic Baptist church in Georgia is one I will never forget. Sometimes less is more, which absolutely rang true with her Narcisco Rodriguez simple sheath. Nothing about her look was overdone, the low chignon and red lipstick were the perfect combination for a quiet, secret wedding.

Number Five: Kate Walsh

I think the Grey's Anatomy star's one-of-a-kind Monique Lhuillier wedding dress is probably the most underrated celebrity dress. Years before Ivanka Trump brought lace sleeves back in style, Kate dared to be differen when she wed Alex Young on September 1, 2007 in an Ojai, California Presbyterian church. Just look at that exquisite alençon lace over pale gold satin!

Number Four: Courteney Cox- Arquette

When "Monica" from Friends married the wacky David Arquette in June of 1999, the last thing I expected her to wear was a slinky, silk-crepe gown by Valentino. I love that she accessorized with a dotted swiss veil attached to a silk flowered comb, it was the icing on the cake to a brilliant ensemble. Though, I think she looked incredible, Ican't say that I'm too fond of what David wore.

Number Three: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy

One of our nation's most iconic First Lady's had hands down one of the most drop-dead gorgeous dresses of all time. A true style idol, she did not disappoint when it came to her wedding day on September 12, 1953. Over 700 guests witnessed her walk down the aisle in an Ann Lowe creation dupioni silk ballgown. Oddly enough, the dress is not what she had envisioned, but her future father-in-law wanted her in a traditional gown, so she acquiesced. The dress is now on display at the Kennedy Library in Boston, it's something I would be thrilled to see in person.

Number Two: Jenna Bush

The White House wild child grew up to be a stunning bride, she knocked my socks off with her Oscar de la Renta embroidered organza dress. The chic silhouette was just right with her rustic nuptials at the family ranch in Crawford, Texas. She achieved what many brides of today yearn to do, remain modern and classic all at once.

Number One: Grace Kelly

No surprise here! Her life was that of a fairy tale. Cinema star falls in love with the Prince of Monaco and becomes a princess. Three dozen seamstresses worked on Grace's gown for six weeks. It was designed by Academy Award-winning costume designer Helen Rose, and worn during the religious ceremony April 19, 1956. They had a civil ceremony the day before, where she donned a light pink taffeta dress with white kid gloves.  Her more famous dress was made of one- hundred yards of silk tulle, twenty-five yards of taffeta, and 125 year-old lace. Though many may try to mimic this gown's perfection, few have come close. Grace Kelly's dress has stood the test of time, and will always be unforgettable.

Who would be in your top ten? Comments are always welcome. Stay tuned, dear readers, next week I'll give you my ten least favorite celebrity wedding gowns.
