Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling recently got married in a lavish event fit for royalty. Although they exchanged vows at the York Minster Cathedral, the party only really started at Castle Howard, a stately home a few miles away. In true Ellie style, she opted for not one, but 5 show-stopping wedding looks, paving the way for ‘royal’ wedding trends to come.
The first look, in which she tied the knot, consisted of a bespoke Chloé gown and a delicate silk tulle veil with an organza collar featuring her and Caspar’s initials. The veil reportedly took 591 hours to make. Talk about detail! The dress itself wasn’t shy of detail either – complete with hand-embroidered White Roses of York and subtle white glass bead embellishments, which took a further 640 hours to create.

Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry tied the knot on September 1, 2019 in Maui. The happy couple wed in a Catholic church on the island. Even though they opted for a wedding by the beach, they decided to keep things very elegant and classic.
Miles Teller is known for his roles in The Divergent Series (2014-2016), War Dogs (2016) and will star alongside Tom Cruise in the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick (2020). He met model Keleigh Sperry in 2013 at a party for the Black Keys. The two hit it off and there was an instant connection.
A week later they went on the date, and let’s just say the rest is history. After fours years of dating, Miles popped the question in August 2017. The pair went on a romantic safari in South Africa. While enjoying their morning coffee and the wilderness, Keleigh noticed a rose attached to a tree. She decided to investigate as she thought it was weird to see a rose in the middle of winter. The flower had a note attached to it and when she started reading it, Miles finished it and got down on one knee.
Maui was the destination of choice for the love birds because it was a home away from home for Keleigh and her family. Miles joined them for family trips and fell in love with the destination. Hawaii seems to be a popular wedding spot for celebs.
Miles and Keleigh opted for a Hawaiian chic themed wedding. They worked with Unveiled Hawaii in Maui and Christine Rose Events in California to achieve their desired nuptials.
The blushing bride wore a Monique Lhuillier dress, which was elegant and tradition, while still feeling whimsy and light. The ensemble was accompanied by her mother’s necklace, which is a family heirloom.
The dashing groom wore a suit by Celine, designed by Hedi Slimane.
Wedding guests included Nina Dobrev and The Divergent Series co-star Shailene Woodley.
The reception took place on the beach with the breathtaking sunset as a backdrop. Keleigh changed into an Oscar de la Renta dress for the reception. Their entertainment included a 12-piece band that performed the couple’s favourite tunes.
Following the reception was a tropical jungle themed after-party that featured Norwegian DJ Kygo. The newlyweds partied ’till the break of dawn.
