Kelly Clarkson + Brandon Blackstock

#OTD October 20, 2013

Clarkson’s Temperley Bridal “Jessamine” wedding dress had clean lines that skimmed her shape. Silvery floral appliqués accented the romantic lace overlay and the sleeves had covered buttons at the wrist. Though the dress was modest, deep V necklines at the front and back framed her face and highlighted her blonde updo, which was accented by a jeweled Maria Elena headpiece.

“My inspiration for the day was the flowers of the South. My husband is Jewish and I’m Irish. I wanted to mix both of our heritages. The green of the green Amaranth flower represented my Celtic side. The Chuppah was all amaranth and roses, placed horizontally. I wanted to create a magical bubble of beauty and love for Davey and me and for our loved ones.”

Paul McCartney + Nancy Shevell

The designer also crafted her dad's blue suit and lavender tie. The couple looked stunning and sophisticated while exchanging their vows, and got showered with rose petals on the way out of the venue. Stars like Ringo Starr and Barbara Walters, Shevell's second cousin, attended the 30-person ceremony.
