Mother of the Brides Celebrate in Style in 2010

As we look forward to 2011 and all of the celebrity weddings, mother of bride dresses and special occasion dresses, we also look back at 2010.  Of all the Mother of the Bride dresses in 2010, Hillary Clinton wore the most famous of all mother of the bride dresses of the year.  But, there were plenty other mother of the bride dresses out there in 2010. 

Here are the top 10 celebrity weddings of 2010:

1. While Democrats and Republicans don’t always see eye to eye, everyone agrees that Hillary Clinton’s mother of the bride dress stole the show this year.  The Mother of the Bride, Clinton wore a gorgeous Italian gown with floral detailing by Oscar de la Renta.  The Mother of the Bride dress design was modern and unique in its shoulder coverage.  Hillary Clinton showed that a Mother of the Bride can be bold as she donned a bright raspberry colored mother of the bride dress.

2. Supermodel Coco Rocha’s wedding to interior designer James Conran must have brought out a plethora of special occasion dresses.  The guest list no doubt included a long list of beauties from Rocha’s modeling agency.  Her mother, Juanita, is a flight attendant and must have looked gorgeous in her mother of the bride dress.

3. Hilary Duff’s wedding to pro hockey player Mike Comrie was a huge event.  Her mom, Susan Colleen surely looked wonderful in her mother of the bride dress.  The event was reported packed with plenty of celebrities in extravagant special occasion dresses.

4. American Idol star and country singer Carrie Underwood also married a pro hockey player – Mike Fisher.  Carole Underwood, an elementary school teacher, most likely chose a traditional mother of the bride dress.

5. Siren Megan Fox’s wedding to 90210 star Brian Austin Green was super-low key.  The only witness at their beach wedding ceremony was Green’s 8 year old son from a previous marriage.  No word on whether or not the mother of the bride even made it to the wedding ceremony or not.  In fact, there were more security guards than guests at the reception so special occasion dresses were probably at a minimum.

6. Nicole Richie’s wedding to Joel Madden was an event complete with a live elephant.  One can only imagine what the mother of the bride dress looked like and how many amazing special occasion dresses were present.

7. “The Bachelor” Jason Mesnick wed winning contestant Molly Malaney – and the wedding was aired on television.  The mother of the bride dress was stunning and there were plenty of special occasion dresses on board for the gala event.   

8. Grammy award winning artist Alicia Keys wedding to music producer Swizz Beatz was a site to be seen as the two tied the knot at a destination wedding in the Mediterranean.  No doubt the mother of the bride was decked out in a gorgeous mother of the bride dress.  Guests were outfitted in the latest style special occasion dresses of the season!

9. VH1 host La La Vazquez wedding to NBA pro Carmelo Anthony was aired on a special five-part VH1 series “La La’s Full Court Wedding”.  Mother of the bride was dresses in the latest fashions as were the dozens of guests wearing fashionable special occasion dresses.
