Perrie Edwards Wore 3 White Dresses at Her Wedding in Portugal — Perrie Edwards' Wedding
Perrie Edwards' wedding in Portugal ended with three white dresses, a church ceremony in Estoi and a guest list that pulled music and football into the same room. She married Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain over the weekend, after a recent run that included the January birth of their daughter Alanis.
Estoi and 140 guests
140 guests were invited to the weekend celebrations, with Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall there from Little Mix and Mason Mount, Danny Welbeck and Kieran Gibbs among the football names in attendance. That mix gave the marriage a wider public profile than a private family event usually gets, especially for a pop star whose career began with Little Mix on The X Factor in 2011.
The ceremony itself took place in a picturesque Catholic church in the sleepy village of Estoi, a setting Edwards described as fitting the day because, as she put it, “I love the church” and “It’s grand and beautiful but it’s also intimate.”
Three dresses in one day
Edwards wore a lace Dana Harel wedding gown with a pooling train, bought at Browns Bride in London, and added a bolero with trailing lace sleeves for the ceremony. She said, “I’ve always envisioned myself in lace” and “It’s just so classic and timeless.”
After the church ceremony, she changed into a crystal embellished floor-length dress by Galia Lahav and wore Jimmy Choo heels for the first dance. For the evening, she switched again into a custom minidress from Annie’s Ibiza with Christian Louboutin heels and a matching headdress. Edwards called the last look “It was short and fun and fab and cinched to the heavens with the corset!”
Alanis and the missing necklace
January brought Alanis, the couple’s daughter and little sister to four-year-old Axel, and Edwards said, “I have a brand new baby, she’s just five months. It was so special to have her there in her little dress.” She also described the stretch leading into the wedding as “It’s been a whirlwind!”
A diamond necklace from Oxlade-Chamberlain went missing the day before she came away to Portugal, then turned up caught in her hair extensions on the morning of the wedding. Edwards said, “I sobbed,” and the detail fits the day’s tone better than any polished recap: carefully planned, highly personal and still messy at the edges.
Edwards said the altar moment brought both of them to tears. “Alex isn’t a crier – he doesn’t get emotional that often,” she said. “But when he turned around at the altar and saw me for the first time, we both just cried our eyes out.”
