When the “JK Wedding Dance” video broke the internet, brides around the world took to the internet to make their own inspiring flash mob ceremonies.
Weddings were certainly becoming more about the spectacle!
Going Public
By the year 2007, weddings were becoming increasingly more public affairs. Couples spent a lot of time promoting their weddings on media outlets. Of course, now it's very popular, but the trend really took off in 2007.
That was the year that Jessica Mapel and Cody Heleson wed on "Today Throws a Martha Stewart Wedding." Say Yes to the Dress also premiered in 2007, giving a glimpse into the dress purchasing process.
Carrie's Big Day
In 2008 moviegoers filled theaters to the brim when Sex and the City: The Movie came out. Fans couldn't wait to see how Carrie and Mr. Big's marriage would play out.
In case you didn't know, he leaves her at the altar. But that's ok because she's in her Vivienne Westwood gown.
Introducing Pinterest
Pinterest changed the way we do everything. And of course, wedding planning became a huge part of that.
The social network gave millions of women inspiration and thus the term "Pinterest bride" was born.
A Texas Wedding
Many people may have been watching Prince William and Kate Middleton's incredible royal wedding but there were still countless Americans who were glued to the Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton affair.
The country stars (who are now divorced) exchanged vows are on their rustic style Texas ranch. Of course cowboy boots were involved.
