Perrie Edwards Marries in Portugal With 3 Dresses

Perrie Edwards married Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in Portugal on Saturday, June 13, and turned the day into a three-look production. The ceremony brought her wedding plans into public view in one of the few celebrity celebrations where the outfit changes were as carefully documented as the vows.

Edwards said the day was "the best day of my life – up there with the births of my children," after a wedding that included 140 guests and three dresses. That scale matters: the guest list, the venue, and the wardrobe shifts made this a private event with the kind of staging usually reserved for a much larger production.

Igreja Matriz de Estoi

The ceremony took place at Igreja Matriz de Estoi in Estoi, Faro, giving the June 13 wedding a church setting rather than a purely social one. Edwards said, "I love the church" and described it as, "grand and beautiful but it’s also intimate." She and Oxlade-Chamberlain got engaged in 2022 and share two children, including 4-year-old Axel and Alanis, who was born in January.

Edwards also gave the wedding morning a small but telling complication: her missing diamond necklace was found caught up in her hair extensions while Aaron Carlo was helping her get ready. That kind of detail cuts through the polished photo package and shows the event was being managed minute by minute, not simply posed for the camera.

Three dresses, one night

Edwards wore a form-fitting lace dress by Dana Harel for the church ceremony, then switched into a crystal embellished floor-length dress by Galia Lahav with Jimmy Choo heels for the first dance. For the evening, she changed again into a custom minidress from Annie’s Ibiza with Christian Louboutin heels and a matching headdress. Oxlade-Chamberlain wore a classic black tuxedo with a white calla lily boutonniere.

She said, "I’ve always envisioned myself in lace … it’s just so classic and timeless," and added, "I wanted to change for the evening so I could dance and be free." In practice, that meant the wedding moved from formal ceremony wear to a second-dance look and then to a lighter final outfit built for the reception, not just the photographs.

140 guests in Portugal

The guest list included Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, along with Mason Mount, Danny Welbeck and Kieran Gibbs. Edwards said, "We wanted to make sure every moment of the day was an experience for our guests," which explains why the event read more like a carefully sequenced show than a single ceremony.

That is the real takeaway here: Edwards described the wedding as intimate, but 140 guests and three wardrobe changes push it well beyond a small family gathering. The photos now circulating from the day turn that private celebration into a public record, and they leave one practical question hanging — how the couple managed the logistics and cost of a 140-guest wedding with multiple outfit changes in Portugal.
