Celebrity Brides Who Didn’t Wear White
Many brides wear traditional white on their wedding day -- but others would rather wear anything but. Here you'll see celebrities who stepped outside the bridal box and donned gowns in colors like green, red, purple, black, and even camouflage.
Jessica Biel
Color: Petal PinkFor her October 2012 wedding to Justin Timberlake in Italy, Biel wore a pink Giambattista Valli haute-couture gown custom-made just for her -- and said she actually "surprised herself" when she chose it.
Amber Tamblyn
Color: YellowWhen the actress married 'Arrested Development' star David Cross in 2012, she chose an unusual color that set off her red hair perfectly. "It was marigold, and it had a train in the back that was cream," Tamblyn later said, adding, "There's nothing really traditional about me."
Marilyn Monroe
Color: BrownThe screen icon wore a dark brown suit with a mink collar and rhinestone buttons when she took the plunge with baseball legend Joe DiMaggio at San Francisco City Hall in 1954. While she only paid $225 for the ensemble, it sold for $33,000 at a 1999 auction.

Color: Blush PinkTo tie the knot with agent Jim Toth in 2011, the Oscar-winning actress chose a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier blush-pink gown featuring a full tulle A-line skirt and a Chantilly lace corset bodice. "[Reese] wowed," a wedding guest reported. "She took your breath away."
Tina Turner
Color: Dark GreenWhen the ageless singer wed longtime partner Erwin Bach at their home in Switzerland in 2013, she flipped tradition: She wore an emerald and black Armani gown, and asked her female guests to wear white.
Elizabeth Taylor
Color: YellowSerial bride Liz took her fifth trip down the aisle in 1964, marrying Richard Burton (the first time) in a yellow dress with flowers woven into her hair.
Mama June
Color: CamouflageWhat else would the 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' matriarch wear but camo and hunting-vest orange? Mama June was just a fancier version of herself for her 2013 ceremony with Sugar Bear -- who wore a lookalike outfit.
