As 2013 nears to a close, there are so many celeb weddings to look forward to that we can barely keep count (just how long are you going to keep us waiting, Jen and Angelina?).

We can't rub a crystal ball and predict what's in store. So, we did the next best thing and asked top bridal gown designers to sketch their wedding visions for A-list brides. Check out the spot-on styles they came up with -- which dress would you most like to wear for your own nuptials?

Designers Sketch What Upcoming Celebrity Brides Should Wear
Kim Kardashian(01 of13)

Yumi Katsura sketched a three-part dress for Kim Kardashian. A body-conscious silhouette flaunts the 33-year-old's famous curves, while the geometric seams and jeweled bolero fit her new style M.O. - North's mama has been stepping out in more fashion-forward styles as of late (when she's not strapped to a motorcycle in "Bound 2," that is).P.S. Check out this hilarious Barbie doll depiction of Kimye's wedding!

This ostrich skirt can be removed to reveal a shorter hemline later on in the evening during dancing. After all, a live musical performance is a must (we nominate Beyoncé to belt out their first dance song!).
Jennifer Aniston(03 of13)

What kind of dress will America's Sweetheart wear when she ties the knot with Justin Theroux, her actor/screenwriter fiancé? The 44-year-old actress can pull off a ballgown like no one's business (who could forget the red Valentino ballgown from this year's Oscars?), but Steven Birnbaum envisions her in a sleek, long-sleeved sheath on the big day.A plunging (yet tasteful) neckline and buttons that run down the entire length of the back add sultry appeal. Don't expect any frou-frou embellishments from this less-is-more style icon.P.S. Watch Jen get choked up about her engagement!
Angelina Jolie(04 of13)

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their engagement back in April of 2012 - could 2014 finally be the year that the parents of six decide to become husband and wife? We vote yes.When Brangelina does get married, we think the 38-year-old bride would feel right at home in this Eden Bridals gown, featuring an asymmetrical neckline and chapel-length train.Jolie's style has evolved considerably throughout the years: At her wedding to actor Jonny Lee Miller in 1996, she wore rubber pants and a T-shirt with her groom's name written in blood, which she had drawn herself. Yikes!
Scarlett Johansson(05 of13)

Scarlett Johansson got engaged to French journalist Romain Dauriac with an Art Deco-inspired ring, and we think her wedding gown will be just as unique. Her fiancé currently lives along the River Seine in the St. Germain de Pres district of Paris, and ScarJo has reportedly been spotted looking at churches in the area.Steven Birnbaum's vision is perfectly in line with a glamorous Parisian affair: A grand halter ballgown completely embroidered with dramatic floral appliqués. The confident 29-year-old starlet can pull off the bold look.
Jessica Simpson(06 of13)

Jessica Simpson's wedding to former NFL player Eric Johnson has been three years in the making. Since she got engaged, she's given birth to two kids (a 15-month old daughter, Maxwell, and a four-month old son, Ace Knute), served as a judge on Fashion Star, been nominated as a Weight Watchers spokesperson. And now, she's busy working on a TV pilot for NBC based on her life experiences.We think the 33-year-old entertainer and fashion designer would love this A-line gown by Maggie Sottero. Beaded embroidered lace adorns a tulle over point d'esprit and organza skirt, creating an elegant and traditional look.A Swarovski-encrusted belt fits the star's fun-loving personality. It's Southern glamour at its finest for the Texas-born star!
Sofia Vergara(07 of13)

Sofia Vergara knows what works when it comes to her fashion choices. "I still take advantage of the cleavage," the 41-year-old Modern Family star admitted to E! News. "While I have it, why not flaunt it?" When the Columbian-born beauty marries businessman Nick Loeb, she'll choose a modern yet elegant wedding gown. This Moonlight Bridal style features her favorite silhouette - the mermaid. The gown's ruffled skirt has more volume than what she normally wears on the red carpet, making it a wedding-worthy choice.Like Jessica Simpson, we anticipate that she'll accessorize her dress with an incredible belt, along with some amazing statement jewelry. (We're still dreaming about the emerald, ruby, and sapphire earrings from Lorraine Schwartz that she wore to this year's Emmys - they cost a cool $7 million.)
Olivia Wilde(08 of13)

Olivia Wilde takes a chic yet no-fuss approach to her everyday style. When it comes to her wedding day ensemble, the 29-year-old actress will be just as low-key, telling The Editorialist that "I just trust my eye."She and her fiancé, comedian/actor Jason Sudeikis, recently announced the exciting news that they're expecting their first child together!We think that the bride would look radiant in this soft and pretty A-line Eden Bridals dress. The natural waist can accommodate a growing baby bump. This pretty look reminds us of the gorgeous pearl-gray dress that she wore to the 2008 Emmys.
Hayden Panettiere(09 of13)

Ever since her role on Heroes, we knew Hayden Panettiere would be a rising star in Hollywood. Offscreen, she's a style chameleon, constantly switching up her hair, makeup and fashion looks. "I'm pretty spontaneous. I like abrupt changes - it excites me," she told People.The 24-year-old Nashville star is engaged to Wladimir Klitschko, a professional boxer from the Ukraine, and rumors are circulating that they're planning holiday-inspired nuptials. If that's the case, then we think this Maggie Sottero style would be perfect!This champagne-hued gown is crafted from beaded tulle, Swarovski crystals, and luxurious satin, all of which complement a wintry theme. A dazzling V-neckline accentuates the petite actress' toned physique.
Lauren Conrad(10 of13)

Television personality and fashion designer Lauren Conrad is known for her ultra-feminine style - she's always beautifully pulled-together and on trend without looking like she tried too hard. So when the 27-year-old announced her engagement to law school student William Tell, we knew her wedding dress would be a knockout. We'd outfit her in this Melissa Sweet for David's Bridal gown."It's feminine and romantic, made with a tossed lilac jacquard and delicate beading, but still sexy with a corseted bodice. It's the perfect marriage of tradition and sex appeal," said Robert Barnowske, the VP of Design for David's Bridal.
Snooki(11 of13)

It's no surprise that Jersey Shore star Nicole Polizzi has said that she wants a New Jersey-fied fairy tale wedding, complete with fireworks and "a princess-type gown with a huge train. Ask and you shall receive, Snooki: Eden Bridals has designed a regal ballgown for your big day!The 26-year-old may no longer rock a hair pouf, but this gown delivers on the volume that she requested for her wedding. The tulle skirt is made with a royal duchess satin overlay draped from the hip. The sweetheart bodice is fully beaded, perfect for the sparkle-and-shine bride.Now all that's left to do is pick outfits for Jionni LaValle (her fiancé) and Lorenzo (their 15-month old son). You're welcome.
Kelly Osbourne(12 of13)

We're expecting one heck of a wedding dress from Kelly Osbourne! The E! Fashion star and daughter of rock god Ozzy Osbourne can pull off ultra-elaborate styles and wild looks with ease. In honor of her amazing hair color, Moonlight sketched this purple and black gown for her wedding to chef Matthew Mosshart. (Fun fact: They first met at Kate Moss' wedding back in 2011.)We think the 29-year-old would approve of the glamorous and goth vibe of this wedding dress, which showcases an illusion neckline and feather detailing. We can only hope that she'll honor her British heritage by wearing a fascinator!
Katie Couric(13 of13)

Katie Couric is soliciting wedding advice on her website, KatieCouric.com. The 56-year old is engaged to banker John Molner."It's the second time around for me [sadly, her first husband, Jay Monahan, died from colon cancer in 1998] so am picturing something tasteful - sorry, no Cinderella gown!" she wrote.Oleg Cassini for David's Bridal designed a gorgeous dress for the veteran journalist and second-time bride. "This classically streamlined silhouette with opulent pearl embellishment gives a regal flair for a sophisticated bride...and the wrap offers chic coverage," said Barnowske.
