Let’s raise a glass to the the best wedding movies of all time! Hollywood knows how to beautifully capture the chaos that is “the big day”. Check out our list of 20 of the best wedding movies to watch with your family during the holidays!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

1. My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

This is the highest grossing wedding movie of all time, and rightly so! This movies makes us all feel a little better about our in-laws. Enjoy laughs at the expense of Toula and her outrageous family and learn that no problem is too large to be solved by a little Windex.

Wedding Crashers

2. Wedding Crashers (2005)

Although the idea of finding your true love at a wedding you weren’t invited to seems like a blast, we wouldn’t recommend it. Instead, let the crazy adventures of marriage and maturity in this hilarious film eliminate the urge to crash any upcoming weddings.

Bridesmaids

3. Bridesmaids (2011)

Hands down one of funniest wedding movies of all time! If you never understood the importance of your bridesmaids selection, this movie will definitely make you think twice about the women who are going to help you through your wedding preparation. But let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want a crew of women like the ones featured in this film to stand by your side on your big day?

Runaway Bride

4. Runaway Bride (1999)

This comedy teaches us how to not conduct ourselves when we enter into a marriage. As Maggie prepares for her fourth wedding, we see that the key to a life long happiness lies in being yourself and letting your partner compliment you, not conforming to what you think he or she wants you to be.

My Best Friend’s Wedding

5. My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)

We’ve all witnessed how messy weddings can be, but nothing can compare to the madness that takes place in this movie that earned Julia Roberts a Golden Globe nomination. Helpful tip: Don’t wait to ruin your friend’s wedding by telling him/her you have feelings for him/her on their wedding day.

Father of The Bride

6. Father of The Bride (1991)

This remake of the 1950’s classic, was our first look into the role of a wedding planner. Martin Short plays the hilarious European planner, Franck, who helps the Banks family plan their daughter’s wedding with his eccentric ideas and loyal assistant. Brides to be, please don’t forget to let your fathers be involved in the planning process too. Despite what they may tell you, they like to be included as well.

Love Actually

7. Love Actually (2003)

Do you feel it in your fingers? How about in your toes? Love really is all around in this film. This film is sure to bring your family a little closer as you journey through stories that make you realize all you need is love!

27 Dresses

8. 27 Dresses (2008)

This movie is the epitome of “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride”. Jane’s closet full of 27 bridesmaids dresses proves that she is great at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself. Besides learning the importance of looking after self, we get to see the interesting (to say the least) realm of bridesmaids fashion.

Mamma Mia

9. Mamma Mia! (2008) 

Whether or not you’re an ABBA fan, this star-studded musical about a woman’s search for her father before her wedding will have you and your girls dancing and singing along to every song. If you’ve ever considered a destination wedding, Greece’s scenery throughout the film will spark your wanderlust.  Plus, it stars Meryl Streep… need we say more?

Revenge of the Bridesmaids

10. Revenge of The Bridesmaids (2010)

An underrated movie about a ride or die friendship. Although, we don’t recommend pretending to be friends with someone so you can sabotage their wedding, this is a hilarious movie about an inside job to reunite ex-lovers.

The Best Man

11. The Best Man (1999)

A classic! This is a great film to watch with your friends. Our main character spills his friends’ secrets in a not-yet-released book and tries to make sure they don’t find out when he’s back for a wedding. Drama!

Jumping The Broom

12. Jumping The Broom (2011)

A tale of two family backgrounds coming together to celebrate a wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. Raised on opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum, Jason and Sabrina hope their families can get over their differences, but the matriarchal figures have a different outcome in mind.

Coming To America

13. Coming To America (1988)

If you love Royal weddings, you will love this film. An African prince (Eddie Murphy) in need of a wife wants to avoid an arranged marriage. So to find his queen (to be), he journeys to Queens, New York… naturally.

Meet The Patels

14. Meet The Patels (2014)

An independent film that is a must see with your family! This rom-com-doc about a man’s journey to find a bride and please his parents simultaneously will have you laughing out loud and contemplating cultural norms versus modern romance.

The Wedding Date

15. The Wedding Date (2005)

A perfect inside look at family dynamics during an extended wedding weekend. Debra Messing (of “Will and Grace” sitcom fame) pretends a male escort is her loving boyfriend as part of a ploy to make her ex-fiance jealous. We love the peek at the sometimes-twisted love and loyalty sisters exhibit under pressure. Plus, the scenic al fresco dinners and lovely English lanes put us in a marrying mood.

The Wedding Planner

16. The Wedding Planner (2001)

We love taking an easy break from wedding planning and watching someone else do the job. J.Lo plays a wedding planner who has fallen for her client, a groom-to-be played by none other than Matthew McConaughey. Alright, alright, alright.

Our Family Wedding

17. Our Family Wedding (2010)

Families from different backgrounds? Watch as cultures clash and families feud in this lighthearted comedy about merging the in-laws.

Bride Wars

18. Bride Wars (2009)

In the end, friendship wins, and the lesson is clear: Even though you’re getting married, always value your friendships and keep girlfriends close!

Sex and the City

19. Sex and The City (2008)

A great girlfriends movie. This satisfying film follow-up to the TV series is also a great lesson in keeping your wedding in perspective.

The Princess Bride

20. The Princess Bride (1987)

As you wish! “The Princess Bride” is the ultimate fairytale. And with a cast of characters that will keep you laughing throughout the entire adventure, it’s the perfect choice when you want to unwind with your family and friends.
