If you don't feel like pulling out all the sartorial stops for what's not widely considered the most important day of your life, that's more than okay—you can still easily rustle up something presentable, and, more importantly, easily recognizable by dressing up like a celebrity in their most iconic look. Chances are you already have the makings of a great costume in your closet.
