Who Were the Five Most Beautiful Brides of Summer?

All brides are stunning in their own way, but celebrity ones have the privilege of being singled out for our listing pleasure!

The news this summer has been wildly unpredictable, be it the hookups, the breakups or The Smurfs beating Cowboys & Aliens at the box office.

But one thing we can always count on is celebs having the urge to tie the knot while the sun is shining, the air is balmy and it's highly unlikely that out-of-town guests will have trouble getting there due to inclement weather.

From a certain E! star who went all out to an Oscar winner who surreptitiously tied the knot with James Bond, here are our picks for the five most beautiful brides of summer 2011:

3. America Ferrera: Having a hit show is great, but when its concept hinges on your character being the butt of orthodontia and fat jokes...Seems like that would get a bit tiresome, even when you know you're perfectly hot under the bad wig and clashing outfits. But America distanced herself from Ugly Betty's far-fetched premise even further in June when she swapped vows with filmmaker Ryan Piers Williams. The actress, most recently seen in a truer-to-life state on The Good Wife, wore Amsale Aberra for Christos Bridal and diamond earrings by Hollywood fave Fred Leighton. Quite a sight for sore eyes.

5. Rachel Weisz: One minute she and Daniel Craig are one of those maybe-couples, and then the next minute they're married! While we obviously can't keep up with her, we do know that the glam-without-trying Oscar winner probably looked positively lovely while tying the knot with 007 in a ceremony of MI6-secret proportions. After saying their I-dos in NYC, we like to think of them rappelling down the side of the building and taking off in an Aston Martin, the Manhattan traffic parting like the Red Sea to let them through.

But surely you disagree. Maybe you think Brooke Burke was the belle of all wedding balls in St. Barts. Perhaps Vanessa Minnillo is your idea of a picture-perfect bride. Hey, Tara Reid cleaned up pretty nicely for her sudden ceremony in Greece, right? And 16-year-old Courtney Stodden sure looked 10 years older on her big day!
