Riassunto

A movie lover's encyclopaedia of weddings, this beautiful book is exhaustively compiled and features many previously unreleased images. It is a tribute to the most iconic Hollywood stars from the 1920s onwards in ceremonies from the low key to the lavish. Whether your taste is for the explosive or the fairy tale, it will quench your thirst for impeccable glamour and salacious gossip. With weddings to rival epic studio productions, gowns by designers from Givenchy and Balmain, to Dior and Vivienne Westwood, this book offers an unprecedented opportunity to peek behind the scenes and witness many of the secret ceremonies that to this point have remained under wraps. Here are our greatest stars at their most candid: Elizabeth Taylor, Sinatra, Marilyn, Lennon, Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker. Also featured are on-screen stills from classic movie weddings like The Graduate and The Philadelphia Story. This sumptuous tome succeeds in preserving our most beloved stars at their most vibrant, off-screen and in love and celebrates the wedding in motion pictures.
