Celebrities are known for their outrageous fashion sense and their less-than-usual baby names, but the strange weddings they sometimes have are overshadowed. Most magazines focus on the dress or the price of the wedding itself. Here are the top 10 unique wedding ideas proven by the rich and famous.
1. Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
No one except these two to have a traditional wedding, so it should come as no surprise that very little was put in the way of attracting the wedding. Pamela walked down the aisle in a white string bikini and her boyfriend wore shorts and a sailor hat. It was something appropriate since they celebrated their nuptials on a yacht.
2. Liza Minelli and David Gest
At over $ 3.5 million, this may be the most expensive wedding to date. They invited nearly 1,000 guests, a 12-tier wedding cake, and a 60-piece orchestral play. There were numerous musical performances from the guests, but the most exciting guest was the best man, Michael Jackson.
3. Nichole Richie and Joel Madden
As if this couple weren’t unusual enough, this wedding also had its quirks. With the bride being the daughter of one of the famous musicians of all time and the groom being a rock star himself, this celebration had everything they wanted. When they decided to go big, they meant it. Their wedding was completed with an elephant to watch the good luck ceremony.
4. Tori Spelling and Charlie Shanian
This wedding would have looked completely normal if it had taken place 80 years ago. These two decided to go for a wedding that seemed straight out of the 1920s. Based on the great American novel, The Great Gatsby, it was completed with flapper fashions, jazz music, and inspired dance moves.
5. Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher
When Carrie and Mike tied the night in 2010, their wedding perfectly matched their personalities, not their bank accounts. Carrie’s rat terrier was walking down the hall in a tux. Since Mike is a professional hockey player, the pucks were used as centerpieces at the front desk. Both families found the uniqueness of the wedding adorable as they embraced their new families.
6. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz
Given the strong personalities of these characters, it’s no wonder their wedding exhibited some unique qualities. They combined their two favorite subjects: fairy tales and Gothic. The cake was decorated to look like a scene from Alice in Wonderland. The bride and bridesmaids wore princess dresses. And to give it a touch of the dark side, there were over 10,000 black roses. Unfortunately, this fairy tale didn’t last, as the couple ended up breaking up several years later.
7. Kate Moss and Jamie Hince
The guests really had to clean their calendars for this one. Kate and Jamie’s wedding lasted three full days with food, fun, and music. This former super model and current rock star of the British band The Kills did her best. It was more of a music festival than a wedding reception. They even got legends like Snoop Dogg and Shirley Bassey to perform live. To top it off, the menu was built around the theme. Among the dishes were Keith Richard’s Shepherds cake and Steve Tyler’s Thai curry. And one last twist was that the godfather was actually a woman … Jamie’s bandmate Alison Mosshart!
8. Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola
This wedding was fit for a princess. At more than half a million dollars, it was complete with 50 flower girls and a wedding dress reminiscent of the dress Princess Diana wore on her wedding day.
9. Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert
A country couple needed a country wedding. The dinner served at the reception was freshly slaughtered venison. The real catch is that Miranda hunted the deer herself. However, it may have been a bit of a stretch to include footage from the hunting trip and dead deer.
10. Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett
Most people don’t want to invite their exes to their wedding, but that didn’t seem to bother these two. In fact, they held the wedding at Kendra’s ex-boyfriend’s house. This former Playboy bunny once dated the infamous Hugh Hefner, who later invited them to use his mansion for his celebration.
