The 10 Biggest Celebrity Weddings of the Last 20 Years — and Why Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Could Top Them

From royal affairs to star-studded spectacles, these celebrity weddings made headlines—but Swift and Kelce’s could be the biggest one yet.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged, and the internet is already buzzing about what their wedding could look like.

Given the scale of her Eras Tour, the grandeur of his Super Bowl wins, and the sheer cultural force these two have become together, it’s hard not to wonder: could their big day surpass the most iconic celebrity weddings of the past two decades?

Let’s take a look at the A-list weddings Swift and Kelce are poised to outshine, some of which were unforgettable… and others that fizzled faster than a red carpet romance.

10. Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck (2022)

When Bennifer tied the knot (again), it felt like every millennial’s rom-com fantasy had come full circle. They eloped in Las Vegas and followed it up with a dreamy celebration at Affleck’s Georgia estate. Fans couldn’t get enough of the nostalgia… and the Valentino dress.

But despite the fairy tale reboot, it wasn’t meant to last. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, and according to court documents, they’d been separated since April. The split was finalized in February 2025.

9. Kim Kardashian & Kanye West (2014)

This was a wedding for the social media age: Florence, Italy. Custom Givenchy. A pre-party at Versailles. The flower wall alone made headlines and spawned a thousand Pinterest boards. It was opulent, over-the-top, and watched by millions.

But behind the glam was a relationship that slowly unraveled. The pair officially divorced in 2022 after years of public ups and downs. These days, the wedding is remembered more for its spectacle than its staying power.

8. Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas (2018)

Talk about a multi-day celebration — from a Western wedding to a traditional Indian ceremony, Chopra and Jonas gave the world a crash course in global glam. Their wedding photos, spread across Vogue and Instagram, set new standards for celebrity pageantry.

And unlike some others on this list, this one has stuck. As of 2025, they’re happily married, raising their daughter Malti, and still sharing adorable moments.

7. Prince William & Kate Middleton (2011)

Royal weddings don’t get more classic than this. Over 2 billion people watched Kate walk down the aisle in that instantly iconic Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown. Westminster Abbey. Carriage rides. Balcony kisses. The works.

While not Hollywood, this wedding still influenced celebrity ceremonies for years to come. And yes, they’re still going strong—making it a high bar for Swift and Kelce to clear if they’re aiming for legacy.

6. George Clooney & Amal Alamuddin (2014)

When the world’s most eligible bachelor finally tied the knot, people took notice. The Venice setting was pure romance, and Amal’s custom Oscar de la Renta gown became an instant classic. The photos? Flawless.

It wasn’t just style…it was substance. A human rights lawyer marrying a Hollywood legend gave this one staying power. Amal and George have kept a relatively low profile since, but their wedding still gets referenced as peak celebrity elegance.

5. Beyoncé & Jay-Z (2008)

This one was the blueprint for how to pull off a wedding in total privacy. No press, no photos, just a handful of guests and a penthouse in NYC. What followed? Fifteen years of power couple domination (give or take an elevator incident).

They’ve built an empire together, but the wedding itself? Understated. Swift and Kelce are unlikely to follow suit; their big day will probably be the opposite of hush-hush.

4. Sofia Vergara & Joe Manganiello (2015)

This wedding was pure Hollywood fantasy. Held in Palm Beach, Florida, it brought together Modern Family royalty and Magic Mike muscles in a weekend-long celebration filled with roses, laughter, and dancing.

They filed for divorce in 2023, but for a moment there, this was the dream. A Swift-Kelce wedding could absolutely capture this level of charm, with a lot more NFL energy.

3. Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds (2012)

Their South Carolina wedding was romantic and private, so private that controversy later emerged about the venue’s history as a former plantation. Still, Blake’s Marchesa gown and their mutual goofball energy made this wedding stand out.

The two were one of Hollywood’s most beloved (and snarkiest) couples. That image has recently evolved. The public’s attention is now focused on Blake’s legal dispute with It Ends with Us director Justin Baldoni, rather than her marriage. The lawsuit and fallout have shifted the narrative, and the couple is navigating being seen less as forever romance icons and more as people in a wider, more complicated story. Still, that wedding moment remains one of the decade’s most memorable.

2. Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel (2012)

Set in the Italian countryside, this wedding leaned effortlessly cool. Jessica wore a pink Giambattista Valli gown, and Justin serenaded her as she walked down the aisle. It was intimate, stylish, and just quirky enough to be memorable.

Their marriage has had ups and downs in the headlines, but they’re still together, and the wedding photos continue to circulate every time someone Googles “nontraditional wedding dress.”

1. Meghan Markle & Prince Harry (2018)

A royal wedding with a Hollywood twist. Meghan’s Givenchy gown, the gospel choir, the worldwide attention — it was one of the most-watched events of the decade. It was also groundbreaking in a way few weddings are.

While the couple has since stepped away from royal duties, their wedding remains a global cultural moment. Swift and Kelce will need more than fireworks and friendship bracelets to top this.

Could Swift & Kelce Actually Top These?

Honestly… yeah. Taylor Swift has singlehandedly revived the concert industry, and Travis Kelce is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. Their combined fanbases, resources, and star power could make their wedding the event of the decade.

Plus, there’s real staying power here. These two have weathered constant attention and still come off like they’re genuinely having fun together. If anyone’s going to pull off a cultural reset in tulle and tuxes, it’s them.
