Almost a year into her engagement, Lady Gaga might be ready to start planning a wedding—and she reportedly has her sights set on Italy. (Gaga and longtime love Taylor Kinney shared their engagement news just after Valentine’s Day last year.)
“She wants to celebrate her heritage, so they’re looking at places in the Italian countryside. She wants a big Italian wedding,” a source “close to the singer” told Page Six. The source said the singer and the Chicago Fire star are in no rush to head down the aisle, and they have yet to settle on a wedding date or venue.
“They’re still enjoying their engagement, so they have to figure out the right time to do it. They’re not fully planning yet,” said the insider. “The venue is going to inspire the dress, so she has to lock that in first. It’ll make her figure out what the dress will be and who will make it.”
Gaga herself has said that her wedding dress won’t be a high-fashion statement piece. (Sorry, meat-dress makers.) “It will be totally for Taylor,” Gaga told WWD of her wedding dress plans and her groom. “It’s all about my man. I haven’t really thought about anything specific yet, but whatever it is, it will be totally for him.”
Gaga’s go-to designers—including Alaia, Versace, Balenciaga—are likely falling over one another to stitch her a couture gown, but there’s certainly a chance she’ll look to a traditional bridal designer for her wedding dress—especially considering that Taylor’s taste seems to tend more toward traditional. (Here’s one wedding dress she for-sure won’t be wearing though.)
