According to reports Katie had problems finding a wedding dress for her Las Vegas wedding to Alex Reid as the wedding dress shops weren't open at the time the couple wanted to get married.
A source said: 'She had her fashion team trawling all over town for a gown. In the end she just had to make do.'
We're not sure if this was a blessing in disguise judging by the bright pink Barbie frock she wore to her first wedding to Peter Andre, and although we haven't seen what she wore, we've put together some styles that she may have worn down the aisle if she'd had time to pick one up.

A beach wedding dress is often different to the traditional frock you would expect to wear in the UK. For starters you need to choose a fabric that's breathable (this is usually a natural fabric such as cotton), light and as crease resistant as possible for the flight.
We've therefore put together a gallery of dresses to help you find the perfect beach frock.

Every bride wants her wedding day to be special and different. While some brides will try to do this through flowers, the food and entertainment other brides may go that step further deciding that a theme is the best way to really make their day one to remember. This can be anything from Hollywood to 50s glamour but one theme we currently love here at Bridalwave is the Disney theme.
Yes we know it won't suit every bride, but for those who want a day based on childhood wedding dreams or are thinking of having a destination wedding we think it's a perfect theme to go for.
We've therefore put together a gallery of Disney themed dresses, accessories and bridesmaids dresses, which are also perfect for brides who don't want to go the full Disney but want to make their day that extra bit magical.

We're sure you'll agree that your wedding dress is, after the groom, the most important part of the day, and we know each and everyone will want to look like a princess.
However, with so many dresses on the market and an abundance of frock shopping finding that perfect one can turn into a nightmare. We've put together a few tips to help you shop for that special dress without the stress.
Wedding dress shopping stress busting tip one: Think about the season.
Many brides will have a style of dress in mind long before they've picked the venue or date. However both these are important factors in picking a dress. You may love that strapless frock, but walking down the aisle in blue from the cold in December will quickly. Likewise a frock with sleeves in the middle of summer may paint a sweaty picture that you just don't want. However if that strapless frock is still calling you then make sure you invest in a shawl or bolero that matches the style of the dress perfectly.
Wedding dress shopping stress busting tip two: Think about your venue
As we've said before, the venue should also be a consideration when you're picking your frock. A slinky strapless number may look lovely in a contemporary venue but out of place in something that more traditional such as a castle or old country house, making the photographs look that little mismatched. And a princess style frock complete with Jordan style accessories may have you sinking rather than floating across the waters edge if you're thinking about getting married on a beach.
Wedding dress shopping stress busting tip three: Flatter your figure
Look at a wedding dress in the same way you would you're normal day wear such as skirts and dresses. If you're more a jeans and trainer girl, who opts for flats and a sparkly top rather than a sparkly dress on a night out you'll probably feel more comfortable in something straight. However, its also important to consider your figure. Many brides make the mistake of thinking they can go all out and for something different on their day but this will only make you feel uncomfortable and could end up with disastrous results. Think teeny tiny Jordan in that huge frock. Stick to something that will flatter your figure instead.
Use the shapes and styles you prefer as a starting point and discuss these with the shop assistant.
Wedding dress shopping stress busting tip four : Think about your groom.
We're not talking about thinking about you love him here, more his size and build. Some brides will pick a dress, which completely overpowers their groom on the big day. For example if your other half is not too tall then a huge princess dress could completely push him out of the limelight, the wedding pictures and make the first dance difficult. However brides with a groom on the other end of the height spectrum will benefit from a style like this especially if they are a good few inches smaller than their other half.
Wedding dress shopping stress busting tip five: What's your colour?
Traditional wedding dresses come in all shades of white, cream and gold, so don't think you have to opt for pure white particularly if you are very pale. Ask the shop assistant to help you choose a fabric colour that helps you glow not look like a ghost.
Amsale has launched its SS2010 weeding dress collection, and as always, has some stunning frocks to choose from.
However, the designer, which in the past has bought us a range of gorgeous LWD, has gone back to its traditional roots with its new collection.
Styles include fishtail, ballgown and strapless in a range of fabrics such as organza, lace and satin. Like Vera Wang's collection there is also an abundance of sashes, diamantes and different colours, although Amsale has decided to play it safe and go for traditional champaign rather than lime greens and blacks.
We'll be getting our hands on pictures of the full range soon, so look out for a gallery.
If you're on a budget and don't have a sentimental reason to keep your dress then why not consider hiring?

While we're on the Vera Wang bridal bandwagon we thought it only right that today's frock should be from her fabulous 2010 collection.
And we're sure you'll agree this frock really is quite something.
We know it won't suit everyone's taste, it's lime green for starters, but no-one can deny that this organza and silk number has something winter and romantic about it.
We also love the ribbon around the waist, which is going to be a huge must have for bridalwear next year.
