It was a fairytale wedding fit for a princess when singer Ellie Goulding tied the knot to art dealer Caspar Jopling in a lavish London ceremony – and onlookers could easily have thought another royal marriage was afoot!
No expense was spared to mark the romantic union of the couple, who began dating in March 2017 after being introduced by Princess Eugenie. The ceremony was held at the magnificent York Minster, followed by a reception at one of Europe’s greatest palaces, Castle Howard, the setting for 2008 film Brideshead Revisited.
Indeed, Eugenie, 29 was on the star-studded guest list, along with her sister Princess Beatrice, 31, and mother, the Duchess of York.
Crowds gathered outside the grand cathedral to catch a glimpse of the famous guests, including pop star Katy Perry, 34, and fiancé Orlando Bloom, 42, singer James Blunt, 45, actress Sienna Miller, 37, and comedian Jimmy Carr, 46.
But all eyes were on the lovely bride as she arrived half an hour late in a vintage blue VW campervan adorned with flowers.
Her bridesmaids cheered as, Ellie, 32, stepped out wearing a Victorian-inspired silk double crepe gown that hugged her figure before falling to the ground in a full skirt. Embroidered with white roses and embellished with glass beads, the dress, designed by Chloé creative director Natacha RamsayLevi, took a whopping 640 hours to make!
