Though 2020 was a tumultuous year for many, there were still moments of pure joy and love.

Especially for some celebrities, who married their longtime partners in special wedding ceremonies with standout fashion this year. Niecy Nash and Kathy Griffin both wore sparkling gowns, while Jackie Cruz and Elizabeth Gillies opted for lace details.

Here's a look at 19 of the best wedding dresses seen at celebrity weddings this year.

Debby Ryan and Joshua Dun secretly married on New Year's Eve 2019, and announced their marriage via Vogue this year.

Vogue also exclusively shared numerous photos from the occasion. Their special day was photographed by Logan Cole.

As Ryan told the publication, she was set on wearing her white, off-the-shoulder Elie Saab dress with a long train from the moment she saw it.

"The day the collection dropped on Vogue, I saved it," Ryan told Vogue. "For a long time, it was the only image of a wedding dress I had saved anywhere, and the only image in a folder titled 'wedding' on my phone."

"You don't realize how long the train is until you try to get the whole dress off the floor," she continued. "I was just in awe that I got to marry my person in the dream Elie Saab dress."

For their reception on January 1, Ryan switched into a silk slip dress.

The dress had a thigh-high slit that revealed lace-embellished bike shorts underneath, which Ryan said she wore in place of a garter when speaking to Vogue. She also donned her mother's veil from the '80s for the party.

Kathy Griffin added a modern touch to her classic wedding dress that same day.

The Diane Von Furstenberg gown also had a special meaning. In a tweet, Griffin wrote that her short-sleeved, sparkling dress was the same one she wore on her first date with her now-husband Randy Bick in 2011. This time around, she simply added a black belt.

"I asked Randy to pick out whichever one of my long dresses was his favorite for any reason," she wrote. "He picked out this dress and showed me this photo. Romance is hotttt again."

Tim Tebow's wife Demi-Leigh looked elegant in a custom gown from David's Bridal.

The former Miss Universe winner wore a white fit-and-flare dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline and buttons that extended down her back. The dress was one of approximately 50 she tried on, as Demi-Leigh told People after her wedding.

"Being in the fashion industry and being a girl who has dreamed about this day since I was 3, I had this planned out a long time ago," Demi-Leigh told the publication. "[I wanted] a little bit of the royal family inspiration. I mostly [was] looking around Pinterest. I also kept in mind what Tim would like in a wedding dress."

Their wedding was photographed by Hanri Human Weddings.

Soccer star Kealia Ohai married football player JJ Watt in a stunning, sparkle-covered gown.

Corbin Gurkin was one of three photographers who helped capture their special day.

Frankie Muniz wore a red suit on his wedding day, while his wife Paige opted for a dress made from lace.

Her gown was seemingly strapless with a lace, halter-style overlay. She paired the look with an updo hairstyle and bright red lipstick.

Though the couple eloped on October 3, 2019, according to People, Paige and Frankie Muniz had their actual wedding ceremony — which was photographed by Alex Maxwell — on February 21 of this year.

Brittany Snow chose a long-sleeved wedding dress for her big day.

The sleeveless gown with a lace, long-sleeved overlay was designed by Jonathan Simkhai. On Instagram, Snow described the dress as "gorgeous" and said it made her feel like her "most authentic self." Speaking to The Knot, the actress added that she also did her own makeup.

Photography duo Phil Chester and Sara Byrne were there to document her wedding.

It was the gown Snow wore to her reception, however, that stole the show.

"I changed for lots of dancing into a sexy, floral, sheer corset number by Galia Lahav," Snow told The Knot after her wedding. "I fell in love with the off-the-shoulder, floral sleeves. It was the perfect combination of reception fun: classically-fitted and gorgeously detailed."

Bindi Irwin made a sweet reference to her family with her wedding-day fashion.

Irwin married her longtime boyfriend Chandler Powell on March 25. She wore a classic white gown with long lace sleeves and a tulle skirt from Paddington Weddings, and also donned a white headband on the back of her head.

In an exclusive interview with People, Irwin said she chose her dress because it "mimicked" the one her mother Terri wore when marrying the late Steve Irwin in 1992. She added that she did consider wearing her mother's actual dress, but it didn't fit her properly. She also didn't want to alter it, because it's been in her family's possession for over 50 years.

Princess Beatrice looked stunning during her secret wedding.

As Insider's Mikhaila Friel previously reported, both the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara and Norman Hartnell dress Princess Beatrice wore on her wedding day were vintage loans from the Queen.

The latter garment, which had sheer puffy sleeves and sparkling embellishments, was made from Peau De Soie taffeta and ivory Duchess satin, as Friel reported. It was also "remodeled and fitted for Beatrice by Angela Kelly and Stewart Parvin."

Tove Lo channeled the '80s with puffy sleeves and a tiered skirt.

Though the musician didn't include any details about her dress in the post's caption, you could see that it had oversized puffy sleeves, a sheer high-neck overlay, and a tiered skirt seemingly made from lace.

On country singer Luke Combs' wedding day, his now-wife Nicole Hocking looked like a princess.

The top of her dress had off-the-shoulder sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, and a semi-sheer corset-style bodice. Its skirt, on the other hand, was made from tulle with floral embroidery.

Photographer Tiffany Brittin captured Hocking in the dress and Combs in his blue suit for their sweet wedding photos.

Elizabeth Gillies also wore a standout gown that month.

Emily Lipson photographed the actress in her Britt Wood Designs gown, which was white, strapless, and had a detachable cape that reached the floor.

"I had worn so many spectacular wedding gowns over the course of three years on 'Dynasty' that I always said that I would wear black on my wedding day," Gillies told Vogue. "But as I got older, I realized my taste is actually very classic and simple, so that's what I was looking for."

The former "Victorious" star — who did her own hair and makeup on her wedding day — also donned Jimmy Choo shoes and a floral Oscar de la Renta veil that extended past the hem of her dress.

Jackie Cruz, on the other hand, looked glamorous in a sleek, sleeveless dress.

According to Brides, the "Orange Is the New Black" star's slip dress was custom-made for her by Viktor Luna to match her "classic, timeless, yet modern" taste.

She also wore a vintage-inspired lace cap with a removable lace veil for the ceremony. Erica Hernández photographed Cruz wearing both pieces while standing with Rosas on their wedding day.

Her sleeveless dress had a V-shaped neckline and a layer of sheer lace over a white skirt and matching bralette. It was designed by Demetrios Bridal, and Emerald AZ Photography captured her wearing the gown.

"She wouldn't even tell me what her hair was going to look like or her makeup,″ Courtney told People about his wife. "I didn't know anything about the dress other than it was maybe white."
