Dua Lipa has delighted fans by sharing her wedding photo album after marrying actor Callum Turner on Sunday. The popstar, 30, and the 36-year-old actor held their legal wedding ceremony at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall on Sunday morning, ahead of a three-day Sicily extravaganza later this week.
The Wedding Album
On Tuesday, Dua uploaded a series of stunning shots to her 87 million Instagram followers, captioning the carousel with her wedding date and a white love heart. One snap showed the pop singer sitting on her new husband's lap as they shared a passionate kiss. Dua also proudly showed off her chic bridal look, posing in a custom Schiaparelli skirt suit and a wide-brimmed white hat designed by milliner Stephen Jones. She accessorised with a Bulgari necklace and white Louboutin heels, clutching a yellow and white bouquet.
Photos then showed the happy couple holding hands as they were showered with confetti by the small group of loved ones who had gathered to watch the 30-minute registry office ceremony. While around 300 guests are expected at Dua and Callum's Sicily wedding weekend, only a handful of family and close friends joined them for the London ceremony.
Instead, Dua's post was flooded with congratulatory comments from her celebrity pals. Gigi Hadid, the sister of Dua's ex Anwar Hadid, wrote: 'Gorgeosityyyy!!! Congratulations.'
The Sicily Extravaganza
Having exchanged vows, they are now legally wed ahead of their big party in Sicily's capital Palermo, which is set to last from Thursday to Saturday. Ahead of their main ceremony, insiders have hailed the couple's nuptials as the 'showbiz wedding of the year', calling it Sicily's most high-profile marriage since Al Pacino's Michael Corleone wed Apollonia Vitelli in the 1972 classic The Godfather.
No expense has been spared for the big day. The pair are said to have booked an entire floor of suites at the luxurious Villa Igiea hotel overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The ceremony itself will take place at the 17th-century Villa Valguarnera, perhaps the most sumptuous of the villas in Bagheria, an idyllic town ten miles from the capital.
The stunning 18th-century Palazzo Gangi – privately owned – will be the centre of the party on Saturday, with its spectacular Galleria degli Specchi (Hall of Mirrors) providing the perfect setting. Three hundred family and friends will attend the three-day event, which begins on Thursday. Private jet slots have been booked up at Palermo's airport, and a fleet of blacked-out limousines will ferry guests to various villas and hotels.
Sir Elton John, Mark Ronson, and Charli XCX are among the music stars billed to attend, with Donatella Versace and Simon Porte Jacquemus representing the fashion world.
