society weddings
Upper-crust marriage ceremonies
Society weddings are weddings of wealthy, prominent, or socially elite families—the kind announced in newspaper society pages and covered by glossy magazines.
The term evokes lavish ceremonies, distinguished guest lists, and venues befitting old money or celebrity status: Their society wedding at the country club made the Times.
The phrase carries a whiff of exclusivity and spectacle.
