• 15 years later, the actress wed Justin Theroux in a surprise ceremony

• Aniston has never shared photos from her wedding to ex Theroux, though she reportedly wore a strapless cream dress

Jennifer Aniston wore very different gowns for each of her weddings.

The actress wed Brad Pitt in a beachside ceremony on July 29, 2000. The lavish nuptials were attended by 200 guests, and Aniston wore a silk-and-satin beaded gown while Pitt opted for a traditional black tux. The pair were married for five years before they announced their separation in January 2005.

Two years later, Aniston met actor Justin Theroux on the set of a film in 2007, but the two didn’t start dating right away. After getting engaged in 2012, the couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony in their backyard in Bel Air, Calif., in front of 70 guests on Aug. 5, 2015. Very few details have been released about the wedding, but Aniston reportedly wore a cream strapless gown. Three years later, the pair announced their split.

During an interview with Elle in September 2018, Aniston shared that she views both of her marriages as “successful” and doesn’t put emphasis on her relationship status.

“I don’t feel a void. I really don’t. My marriages, they’ve been very successful, in [my] personal opinion,” she said. “And when they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy, and sometimes happiness didn’t exist within that arrangement anymore.”

Aniston added, “To stay in a marriage based on fear feels like you’re doing your one life a disservice. When the work has been put in and it doesn’t seem that there’s an option of it working, that’s okay. That’s not a failure.”

Here’s everything to know about Jennifer Aniston’s two wedding dresses.

Aniston married Pitt in a beaded gown by Lawrence Steele

For her wedding to Pitt, Aniston chose a halter neck gown crafted from silk and satin. The floor-length dress featured a low back and was covered in glass bead embellishments.

A source told PEOPLE in 2000 that the Friends actress wanted her gown “to be sexy but pretty,” adding, “and definitely designed to show off her toned arms.”

The beaded number was designed by Lawrence Steele, a Milan-based designer, who also created pale green slip dresses for Aniston’s two bridesmaids (actress Andréa Bendewald and documentary filmmaker Kristin Hahn-Stringer) and cream silk frocks for the flower girls.

She accessorized with a white veil and crown

Aniston complemented the beading on her wedding gown with sparkling accessories. Opting for straight locks, she reportedly wore a pearl-and-Swarovski-crystal crown with a traditional white circular veil draped over it. The actress completed her bridal look with a pair of four-inch ivory suede Manolo Blahnik heels.

Aniston reportedly married Theroux in a cream strapless gown

With Aniston’s 2015 nuptials to Theroux being kept under wraps, not much information is known about her wedding dress. A source told PEOPLE at the time that the gown was cream and was “strapless, elegant and flowy.”

“It was very simple, but beautiful,” another source told PEOPLE. “It wasn’t a white color — it was like an off-white, cream color. Very classy, fitted well and simple.”

While no designer has ever been confirmed, reps for Versace, Gucci and Vivienne Westwood all said at the time that they did not design Aniston’s dress.

She kept her second wedding dress a secret

Aniston preferred to keep the details of her second wedding dress private. During an August 2015 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress chose not to speak about her intimate ceremony.

“We had the beautiful luxury of having a beautiful private moment and I’m going to be selfish and keep it that way!” she said. “I’m not telling you about any of that stuff!”

However, before she and Theroux tied the knot, Aniston revealed to Extra TV that she expected her dress choice to be “spontaneous.”

“I don’t have a dress,” she said in 2013. “That’s something that will probably come all together at the last minute. I like to be very spontaneous.”

Aniston told Marie Claire she wouldn’t wear an updo for her wedding

While the bridal accessories Aniston wore for her wedding to Theroux are a mystery, she told Marie Claire in June 2013 that she planned to stick to her signature hairstyle.

“For my wedding, I wouldn’t do an updo, but I think a veil is always pretty,” she said. “I like loose and natural hair because it goes against the formality of the dress. Loose, like ‘I just got out of bed, maybe had a romp’ hair.”
