From Jennifer Lopez’s own nuptials to Ben Affleck (which called for three custom Ralph Lauren gowns) and AnnaSophia Robb’s mountainside ceremony, to Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s 600-guest event and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal celebration of the century, there’s no shortage of fashion inspiration from Hollywood weddings.
