The Details: The actress and her actor/jewelry designer hubby wed in late September in Big Sur, California. Unlike many celeb weddings, the guest list was composed strictly of close friends and family—no movie stars. It's also worth noting the menu was fully vegan.

The Dress: Yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas chose a simple dress by Amsale Aberra, clearly avoiding the pomp and circumstance associate with a stereotypically poofy bridal dress.

The Details: The duo held their reception at NYU's Kimmel Center, which was apt because they're both graduates of the university (but obviously didn't meet there— Thomas is 28 and Baldwin's 54).

The Details: The details of their English countryside wedding have remained hush-hush, but we know that the guest list included Sienna Miller, Colin Firth, and Jake Gyllenhaal. There was a rumor Adele—a friend of Mulligan's— performed, but it was never confirmed.

The duo tied the knot in an intimate California ceremony, seven years after meeting on the set of Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" video. No word on if the song played at the wedding.
