Celebrity Destination Weddings

From Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Italian dream wedding to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Charleston "I dos," here are the most buzzed-about and coveted celebrity-destination weddings.

Justin Timerlake and Jessica Biel tied the knot at the Borgo Egnazia Resort in Fasano, in Italy’s Puglia region. Overlooking the Adriatic Sea, the gorgeous 40-acre grounds are fit for a fantasy wedding, with ornate stone architecture and 28 villas, each with private pools and gardens.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds exchanged vows at Boone Hall Plantation, one of America’s oldest working plantations. The romantic “Avenue of Oaks,” a 3/4-mile pathway bordered on each side by 268-year-old giant oaks draped with Spanish moss, is just one of the reasons this is such a dream wedding destination.

Though they didn’t end up happily-ever-after, who could forget the fairytale wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? The lavish nighttime wedding was held at one of Italy’s most stunning landmarks, Odescalchi Castle at Lake Bracciano, where Martin Scorsese and Isabella Rossellini also once wed.

Brooke Burke and David Charvet had an intimate sunset wedding ceremony on a sailboat off St. Barts. The star-studded Caribbean island is a hotspot for celebrities and a favorite vacation spot for this famous couple.

Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman tied the knot on a private estate on California's Big Sur coast. The wedding weekend started with a rehearsal dinner at Ventana Inn and Spa, a luxurious hillside hideaway with dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner got hitched in an idyllic Caribbean paradise, Parrot Cay Resort in Turks and Caicos. After exchanging vows on the powdery white sand beach, the couple spent their wedding night and a few days afterward at the laid-back and very private resort.

The Beckhams are often viewed as unofficial royalty, so it’s only fitting that the famous duo wed in Luttrellstown Castle, a 15th-- century castle in County Dublin, Ireland. The couple spent their wedding night at the royal suite in the luxurious castle resort, which sprawls over a lush and magical 560-acre estate.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski said their "I dos" at the grand Villa d'Este in Italy's Lake Como region. Dating back to the 16th century, this palatial estate is fit for nobility, with beautiful English gardens, stalely decor and majestic views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains.

While singer Katy Perry’s marriage to Russell Brand was short-lived, it certainly began with a memorable, exotic wedding in Jaipur, India. An unexpected ceremony for an equally unpredictable couple, the Indian-themed wedding was held at Sher Bagh resort in Rajasthan, a luxury eco-resort on the edge of Ranthambore National Park, known for its tiger population.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott eloped to Wakaya Club and Spa in Fiji. A perfect star-hideaway in the South Pacific, this private island resort rests upon a 2,200-acre island with a protected coral reef, endless white-sand beaches and blue lagoons.
