Celebrity weddings of 2026, from Santorini to Tennessee style moments

The loudest weddings of the season have been the quietest: Santorini over a ballroom, Ruskin Cave over a hotel suite, Paris paired with New Jersey, and an Australian farm that felt more private estate than Hollywood set piece. What unites Zac Brown and Kendra Scott, Lainey Wilson and Devlin Hodges, Leila Roker and Sylvain Gricourt, and Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit is a bridal mood built around intimacy, personal symbolism, and settings with a point of view.

Santorini, where the setting did the ornamenting

Zac Brown and Kendra Scott married on May 25, 2026, in a private ceremony at Canaves Epitome in Santorini, Greece, after making their relationship public in May 2025 and getting engaged in July 2025. Brown brings five children from his previous marriage to Shelly Brown, while Scott has three sons from earlier relationships, giving the marriage a blended family of eight children and a distinctly grown-up sense of scale. The appeal here is not spectacle for spectacle’s sake; it is a destination that supplies the romance, the light, and the atmosphere before a single flower is placed.

Dickson, Tennessee, and the rise of the deeply personal country bride

Lainey Wilson and Devlin “Duck” Hodges married on May 10, 2026, at Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee, with Corbin Gurkin behind the lens and a setting that opened beside a waterfall. Wilson wore a fitted halter-neck Oscar de la Renta dress, traced with Japanese cherry blossoms around the neckline and scattered through the skirt, and she said the motif represented living in the moment. That idea carried through the rest of the day, from the country-music guest list to the white hat she added for evening, a small after-hours switch that makes the wedding feel divided into chapters rather than one long formal tableau. The couple also worked from a Pinterest “country cool wedding” vision board, which explains why the whole day read less like a standard celebrity production and more like a fully authored personal aesthetic.

Paris first, then New Jersey, with two wardrobes and one very clear point of view

Leila Roker and Sylvain Gricourt turned their May 2026 marriage into a transatlantic two-parter, beginning with a civil ceremony in Paris on May 9 and continuing with a New Jersey celebration that included a church service and garden reception. They first met in a Paris bar in 2018 and announced their engagement in March 2025, which gives the wedding’s split geography a neat narrative logic, as if the marriage had to travel through both the city where it began and the family setting that followed. Roker’s wardrobe answered that idea beautifully: an Amsale Mirai gown with a cropped blazer in Paris, then a Mark Ingram-designed princess gown with a dropped waist and French lace bolero for the American celebration, plus a pearl bracelet that had once belonged to Deborah Roberts. This is one of the clearest signals in the 2026 crop that brides want more than one look when the story itself has more than one scene.

Australia, where low-key still meant high style

Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit reportedly married in April 2026 at Mona Farm in Braidwood, Australia, about 55 miles from Canberra, and the venue choice alone tells you how far celebrity weddings have drifted from chandelier-heavy formality. Quaid later called the reception “amazing” in a June interview, and the details support him: a marquee tucked at the back of the property, Doumit in an off-white satin gown with a ruffled skirt and floral headband, Quaid in a red suit jacket with yellow floral accoutrements, and a mechanical bull that pushed the night into something closer to a lively family party than a guarded show. Even the more theatrical touches, like relatives lifting the couple onto their shoulders, felt rooted in intimacy rather than performance, which is exactly why the styling landed.

What the 2026 bridal mood is really saying

Taken together, these weddings point to the same direction of travel: brides are choosing ceremony settings that carry their own mood, then layering in one or two details that tell the real story. Santorini offered privacy and light; Tennessee gave Wilson a Southern landscape that matched her music; Paris and New Jersey let Roker build a two-act wardrobe around two homes; Australia turned an intimate farm wedding into a polished, personal celebration. The dress details follow the same logic, with cherry blossoms, dropped waists, satin, lace boleros, floral headbands, and a white hat after dark doing more expressive work than an avalanche of embellishment ever could. That is the part likely to trickle down fastest to mainstream brides: not the celebrity budget, but the editorial discipline of one meaningful motif, one unforgettable setting, and one look that feels like it belongs to a life rather than a trend cycle.
