Celebrity weddings are full of glitz and glamour. They create a lot of buzz leaving every media house running behind them on toes to get its hands on exclusive images and videos. Whether it was Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal or Kiara Advani and Siddhartha Malhotra, the images from nuptials keep circulating on the internet even a month after the celebs have tied the knot.
While most people look up to these weddings to do a style breakdown, many of these also stand as a testament to breaking stereotypes. Here is a look at eight celebrity weddings that we still cannot get over because they did something different from the ordinary.

When Anushka Sharma and Sonam Kapoor got married, they took the internet by storm. Both of their bridal outfits still serve as inspiration for many brides-to-be. However, what we loved is how they showed us that newlyweds do not have to cry during their vidai.

Getting married and starting your new life is a happy occasion that needs to be celebrated. More than that, a wedding does not have to be about giving away your daughter or cutting ties with your family, it can simply be about stepping into a new phase of your life.

When Priyanka Chopra got married, she broke many prevalent societal norms. She married a man at least 10 years younger than her. One of the most precious moments in a Christian wedding is the father walking down the daughter. At Chopra’s wedding, her mother, Dr Madhu Chopra, walked her down the aisle, while she looked breathtaking in the Ralph Lauren outfit featuring a 75-foot veil.

Most celebrity weddings become the talk of the town because of their extravagant celebrations. However, when Bhatt and Kapoor tied the knot, they invited just about 40 people, including their friends and family. Bhatt also let go of the tradition of wearing a heavy lehenga in the hues of red or pink, instead, she picked a beige organza saree from the shelves of Sabyasachi. She even ditched a heavy bun but left her hair open to flaunt a comfortable bridal look.
Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal
When Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal got married, all the paps tried their best to catch the first glimpse of them as a married couple. But what melted our hearts was the actor’s sisters carrying the ‘phoolon ki chaadar’ (sheet of flowers). In most Hindu weddings, this is a ritual carried out by the brothers of the bride.

Priesthood is often associated with me. However, Dia Mirza and Vaibhav Rekhi showed us that women priests can chant the holy mantras and bind a couple in matrimony. The actor was also hailed for making eco-friendly arrangements at a time when the world is getting buried under a pile of disposable and plastic waste.
