Taylor Swift has one guiding mantra for her upcoming wedding to football star Travis Kelce: WWLD — What Would Liz Do?
“Taylor is a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor, so of course she’d be inspired by her when it comes to wedding planning,” says a source. “Liz was glamorous, extravagant and had such class. Taylor is the same way, although she’s probably a little more down to earth. One thing Taylor will do differently? Stay married!”
From La Liz’s luxurious lifestyle to her eight opulent weddings, Taylor, 35, has plenty of genius ideas from which to pick and choose for her own big day …
Wedding Gown
From her traditional cream-colored satin gown in her first marriage to Conrad “Nicky” Hilton Jr. in 1950 to her yellow Valentino dress in her final 1991 marriage to Larry Fortensky, Elizabeth was a vision of bold beauty. Swift can take notes from each and every look to decide on a classy gown, and well-known designers are lining up to land the honor. One fashion guru reportedly proclaimed Taylor’s dress will be the most important gown since Princess Diana’s, per Cosmopolitan.
Bejeweled Accessories
Elizabeth was keen on pairing her dress with sparkling jewelry, floral accessories, sweeping hoods and other amazing adornments. Not shy about sporting pricey necklaces, bracelets and ornaments herself, Swift no doubt will take notes from La Liz and wear the perfect items to accompany her designer gown. TS wore an astounding 76 carats of diamonds for photos to launch her Showgirl era, according to People. She will no doubt make a dazzling entrance into her Married era.
Wedding Venue
Some of Elizabeth’s ceremonies were held at a large Beverly Hills church, Acapulco’s City Hall, a Las Vegas temple, a Virginia farm and Michael Jackson’s California Neverland Ranch, and each venue was decked to the nines. Rumors has it Swift, like Liz, is thinking big and leaning toward her fabulous “Holiday House,” the 11,000-square-foot home with breathtaking ocean views in Watch Hill, R.I. It’s so spectacular, Liz might even have been a little jealous.
Star-Studded Guest List
La Liz’s weddings included famous guests like Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Eddie Fisher, Michael Jackson, Liza Minnelli, Eddie Murphy and Brooke Shields. Expect no less an impressive list of attendees to the nuptials of Swift and Kelce. Their friends include the rich and famous from the music, entertainment and sports worlds. Among the shoo-ins: Selena Gomez, Ashley Avignone, Zoë Kravitz, Abigail Anderson, the Haim sisters and Brittany and Patrick Mahomes.
Romantic Honeymoon
Elizabeth’s getaways with each of her eight husbands were in a variety of glamorous locales, including Europe, Mexico, Africa, the Mediterranean, Paris and Jerusalem. Peace and quiet out of the limelight were the goals. Swift and Kelce watchers believe the happy honeymooners will spend their first days of wedded bliss in the Seychelles, Greece, Japan and/or French Polynesia.
Just like with La Liz, no matter what romantic spot Swift and Kelce choose, they will find it difficult to honeymoon in secret!
