2015 was quite the year for celebrity weddings and for some amazing, inspiring celebrity wedding dresses. While each celebrity wedding dress reflected their personal style, surprisingly, many of this years celeb brides channeled a touch of royal style with inspiration from the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton a whopping four years after she and Prince William tied the knot.
Alongside the elegant princess style gowns with lace sleeves dominating the aisles, we adored the trend setting gowns with high-low hemlines and bare-all backless gowns. Here are a few of our favourite celebrity wedding gowns from 2015...
Nicky Hilton in Valentino
When it came to choosing a wedding gown after her engagement to James Rothschild, Nicky Hilton had no doubt in her mind who she wanted to design her dream dress. In an interview Nicky said, "Ever since I was a little girl I wanted Valentino to design my wedding dress. Valentino is the definition of timeless elegance, I don't think there's another couture house like it,". Her beautiful Valentino creation was made with three different tones of ivory and silver featuring a high neckline, lace sleeves and a balloon skirt paired with a long veil featuring vintage lace.
