Hayden Panettiere Dishes On Her Upcoming Wedding In The Latest Issue Of Brides

Brian Bowen Smith for Brides
Here comes the bride! Hayden Panettiere, who is gearing up to walk down the aisle to fiance Wladimir Klitschko, modeled a number of bevy of gorgeous wedding gowns for the cover of Brides magazine's April/May issue. For the cover, the Nashville actress donned a strapless beaded column gown by Naeem Khan.

"When eyes have been on me in the past, it's been because of an event, where people see me as a persona, as Hayden Panettiere the actress," the 24-year-old star told Brides. "For the aisle, you're the purest, most emotionally stripped down version of yourself, sharing this raw moment with the most important people in your life. It seems very overwhelming!"

For her big day, the petite star says she wants it to be, "classic, beautiful, and elegant, but I also want it to be fun! And I love color, so that will play a big part."

In October, Panettiere, who previously dated Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia and Laguna Beach actor Stephen Colletti, announced her engagement to the 37-year-old Ukrainian boxer and said that the proposal was "very sweet and simple and genuine."

"It wasn't about being overwhelmed by fireworks or a mariachi band," Panettiere told the mag. "I think it's amazing when people do that, but I like that mine was simple and from the heart."

The actress and athlete split for a short period of time in 2012 but reconciled in January 2013.
