Elina Svitolina

Elina Svitolina pulled out all the stops when it came to her 2021 wedding with Gael Monfils in Geneva, Switzerland. Instead of sticking to a traditional bridal white dress, the tennis star chose an unconventional Off-White jumpsuit with embellished floaty sleeves and a belted waist with a lilac tulle train.

It coordinated with her husband’s bold purple suit from the same designer in the lakeside photo she captioned: “Best day of my life.”

Karolina Pliskova

 

Karolina Pliskova surprised fans in 2018 when she announced she had secretly married Michal Hrdlicka in an intimate ceremony in Monaco. Speaking to the media at the time, she described the “very small wedding” as more of “a family lunch”, and added that “it was not stressful at all.” Sharing a snap on social media, the bride looked beautiful in a one-shouldered Grecian-style gown with a leg-split and a fitted waist, while her partner wore a grey suit.

Novak Djokovic

Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic married his childhood sweetheart Jelena Ristic in Montenegro’s Aman Sveti Stefan resort in July 2014. The couple, who were expecting their first child together at the time, shared their wedding day exclusively with HELLO! magazine, with Novak saying he was blown away when he got the first glimpse of his bride wearing an exquisite gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

“Seeing her for the first time in her wedding dress, smiling and walking towards me… She looked like an angel,” Novak told HELLO!. “I was trying to be present in that moment and memorise it. I was focused on her, and her smile, and our baby. It really was a perfect moment.”

Caroline Wozniacki

Caroline Wozniacki married

David Lee in Tuscany in June 2019, just weeks before the beginning of Wimbledon that year. The newlywed opened up about her four-day wedding celebrations in an interview with HELLO!, describing the event as “absolutely perfect”. She also revealed she had a special helping hand in selecting her beautiful Oscar de la Renta wedding dress from none other than Anna Wintour.

As for the reception? “We partied all the way until four in the morning which was perfect. We had a candy room, because I love sweets, and on the dance floor, we had fries and candy and burgers and stuff coming out. So I think the food was also a big highlight for us.”

Serena Williams

New Orleans was the setting for Serena Williams’ wedding to Alexis Ohanian in November 2017. The bride had not one, but three, gorgeous wedding dresses for her big day, including a gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen for the ceremony.

“I flew to London to meet with Sarah and ended up falling in love with the ball gown silhouette, which is completely the opposite of what I ever thought I would choose for myself,” Serena told Vogue in an exclusive photoshoot and interview. “I loved the idea of doing a really spectacular ball gown, and it has turned out to be such an incredibly special piece.”
