The couple got married on the Peltz’s $103m (£76m) family estate in Palm Beach, Florida, spanning 44,000 square feet, offering plenty of space to enact their vision of the big day.
The bride chose to wear a dress by Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli, which sparked controversy considering her mother-in-law is one of the most coveted fashion designers in the business.
The wedding lasted three days and counted 500 guests, with famous society and fashion photographer German Larkin capturing it all for Vogue.

Nobody does ‘over-the-top’ better than the Kardashian-West duo and their wedding is there to prove it.
Kim Kardashian’s wedding to Kanye West spanned two countries. The former couple started with renting the Palace of Versailles – which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site – for their rehearsal dinner.
The lucky people in attendance were delighted by a private performance by American singer Lana Del Rey, who sang her hit ‘Young and Beautiful’ while the happy couple danced. The following day, the rapper and TV star flew all 200 of their guests on private jets to Italy to attend the wedding.
The actual ceremony took place in a 16th-century fort in Florence, and the bride wore a custom Givenchy dress.

The music was one of the party’s highlights. The guests enjoyed a fabulous performance by Lionel Richie, the father of the bride, and a surprise Good Charlotte concert, as Sofia’s sister, Nicole Richie, is married to the band’s frontman, Joel Madden.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
How to forget the ultimate party, the three-day bash of actress Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas that took place in Jodhpur, India, at the Umaid Bhawan Palace.
The wedding included both Western and traditional Indian ceremonies to celebrate the couple’s Hindu and Christian heritages.
For the Christian ceremony, the whole wedding party modelled Ralph Lauren. The bride wore a hand-beaded and embroidered gown with an astonishing 75-foot-long veil, which took a total of 1,826 hours to complete, while the groom opted for a double-breasted black tuxedo.

The reality star and the Blink-182 drummer’s wedding was a very Italian affair, organised in almost every detail by fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who are said to be very close friends of the family.
Although the couple officially married in a fun and intimate ceremony in Las Vegas, the wedding celebrations in Portofino, held at Dolce and Gabbana’s holiday home, L’Olivetta, looked wonderful, albeit far from traditional, with red roses and votive candles everywhere.
