Hollywood's WEDDINGS OF THE CENTURY

GRACE KELLY & PRINCE RAINIER

On April 19, 1956, Grace Kelly wed Monaco's Prince Rainier in a gown created by Hollywood stylist Helen Rose of 125-year-old Brussels lace, taffeta and thousands of handsewn pearls.

Costing over $2 million, the wedding festivities included a church filled with white lilacs and lilies of the valley, a six-tier wedding cake and guests including Cary Grant, Gloria Swanson and Ava Gardner.

ELVIS PRESLEY & PRISCILLA BEAULIEU

After a night in Palm Springs, two private jets flew the wedding party to Las Vegas for the ceremony on May 1, 1967. Afterward, 100 guests were treated to a champagne breakfast and a six-tier Bavarian cream wedding cake.

The next day, the newlyweds headed to Graceland for a second celebration with family.

ELIZABETH TAYLOR & NICKY HILTON

It took 15 seamstresses three months to create Elizabeth's cream colored satin and pearl gown for her May 6, 1950, wedding. (The gown fetched $187,931 at auction in 2013!) The couple's 700 guests included Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

RITA HAYWORTH & PRINCE ALY KHAN

Guests at the groom's Château de l'Horizon in France enjoyed 800 bottles of champagne, lobster and caviar at the May 27, 1949, nuptials, held around a pool filled with eau de cologne and covered in flowers spelling out the couple's initials.

PIERCE BROSNAN & KEELY SHAYE SMITH

The pair were wed on Aug. 4, 2001, before 100 guests in Pierce's native Ireland.
