Prettiest wedding moments of 2012

With so many stunning brides walking down the aisle this year (hello, Anne Hathaway, Drew Barrymore and Natalie Portman!) narrowing down our favorite memories was a tough and beautiful task! Grab the tissues and get ready to weep over the year's most lovely "I Dos."

Anne Hathaway's perfect picture

Sketch of Valentino gown worn by Anne Hathaway Next Slide

There's nothing sketchy about this dress! Anne Hathaway was just as much a vision in Valentino's custom hand-painted design as the actress was imagined to be in the legendary couturier's sketch.

Temperley's Duchess-worthy gown

Previous Slide Kate Middleton wearing Temperley Next Slide

Catherine Middleton's proven to be a fan of Alice Temperley's style, and the feeling seems to be mutual. After The Duchess wore a plunging lace gown from the label's ready-to-wear collection, we spotted a strikingly similar design at the fall 2013 Temperley Bridal preview. Belted with a bow and featuring sheer sleeves, any bride would feel like royalty in this dress on her wedding day!

Drew Barrymore's happy day

Previous Slide People magazine cover of Drew Barrymore's wedding Next Slide

The joy on Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman's faces seemed to leap off the page when People debuted the newlyweds' portait! Add to that a custom Chanel Couture gown, and you have a wedding day that is sure to make you smile.

Red hot gowns

Previous Slide Crimson bridal gowns Next Slide

Sound the alarm! The spring 2013 bridal runways were ablaze with scarlet gowns, like Oscar de la Renta's showstopping Spanish number (right) and Vera Wang's dramatic collection of crimson, cardinal and burgundy dresses.

A wedding blush

Previous Slide Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake wedding cover Next Slide

If red's a bit too daring for you, try this celebrity-endorsed color palette. In 2012, stars like Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel and Blake Lively joined the ranks of Gwen Stefani and Reese Witherspoon who looked pretty in pink on their wedding day.

Natalie Portman's Rodarte dress

Previous Slide Natalie Portman wearing Rodarte Next Slide

Natalie Portman's counted on Rodarte for many big moments -- -- from Black Swan's dramatic costumes to the off-the-shoulder gown she wore to accept her Oscar -- -- so it's no surprise that she turned to the label for another major milestone. At her wedding, the actress added a white tea-length stunner to her list of Rodarte memories.

Gossip Girl's big day

Previous Slide Gossip Girl cast's Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses Next Slide

Of all the water-cooler talk the Gossip Girl wardrobe department's given us over the years, the cast's Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses were some of the prettiest conversation starters.
