Secret Celeb Wedding Ceremonies: July Wrap-Up

July was a hot month for celebrity weddings! Country singer Carrie Underwood, Actress Emily Blunt and former MTV VJ La La Vazquez have all tied the knot this month—and with the end of the month in sight, the wedding bells aren’t stopping anytime soon!

Last week rumors swirled that R&B queen Alicia Keys was set to marry her music-producer fiancé, Swizz Beats over the weekend. The five-months-pregnant Grammy winner reportedly wanted to marry in Europe or on a yacht in the Caribbean before the arrival of her baby. The bride was set to don a gown by Vera Wang and blue shoes by Christian Louboutin as the couple shared their day with A-listers like Beyonce, Jay-Z and Oprah Winfrey. But last Friday the couple squashed fantasies of a star-studded wedding, saying that the wedding would be “soon,” but not over the weekend.

In other weekend wedding news, Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom officially tied the knot! The couple wed in a secret ceremony on an undisclosed Caribbean island, followed by a romantic tropical honeymoon. The gorgeous newlyweds flashed their new wedding rings on their way back to Los Angeles this morning—simple His-and-Hers matching gold bands.

Last but not least: Chelsea Clinton’s wedding has drawn speculation from all parties since she and fiancé Marc Mezvinski first announced their engagement in November 2009—and we can’t get enough. The big day is fast approaching and so are the rumors. The former first family is reportedly spending up to $2 million on the couple’s secretive July 31st nuptials.

Among the secrets is the location of the wedding-- guests were told to be in the New York City metro area but weren't given an exact venue. The wedding is rumored to take place at Astor Courts, an early twentieth-century Versailles-inspired mansion in Rhinebeck, NY. The bride may wear Vera Wang or Oscar de la Renta, the bridal designer of choice for fellow first-daughter Jenna Bush-Hager. Chelsea favors tailored looks, so we wouldn't be surprised if her custom confection featured an illusion neckline or cap sleeves. 

The entire event will be grand and costly, but not without regard to the environment. We expect Chelsea to choose a vegan cake to accomodate her gluten allergy, and to choose lush seasonal flower arrangements for an eco-friendly touch. We also expect Chelsea and Mark to make charitable donations to a cause close to their heart in their guests' names.
