Perrie Edwards married Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in Portugal and changed into 3 white dresses across the celebrations. The singer said the wedding was just 48 hours in the rear-view mirror when she spoke about it, turning a private weekend into a tightly paced reveal rather than a slow rollout.
Estoi church and 140 guests
The wedding took place in a Catholic church in the village of Estoi, with 140 guests invited to the celebrations. Edwards said, “I love the church” and added, “It’s grand and beautiful but it’s also intimate.”
That guest list included Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, along with Mason Mount, Danny Welbeck and Kieran Gibbs. For a ceremony that stayed intimate in setting, the surrounding turnout gave it the scale of a weekend event rather than a single afternoon service.
Three dresses, one night
Edwards wore a Dana Harel wedding dress with a pooling train and a bolero with trailing lace sleeves for the ceremony, after buying the dress at Browns Bride in London. She said, “I’ve always envisioned myself in lace” and, of the dress, “It couldn’t have been more perfect.”
After the church ceremony, she changed into a crystal embellished floor-length dress by Galia Lahav and Jimmy Choo heels for the first dance, then into a custom minidress from Annie’s Ibiza with Christian Louboutin heels and a matching headdress for the evening. “I wanted to change for the evening so I could dance and be free,” she said. “It was short and fun and fab and cinched to the heavens with the corset!”
A necklace in Aaron Carlo’s hands
The day before she came away to Portugal, Edwards thought a diamond necklace from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had gone missing, and she said, “I cried all day, we looked everywhere – we even checked the hoover – but it was gone.” She added, “I was convinced someone had stolen it.”
Hairstylist Aaron Carlo found the necklace caught up in her hair on the morning of the wedding, after telling her, “Okay, Perrie: what I’m about to show you is your something old, your something new, your everything in one, and you’re going to cry.” Edwards said, “I sobbed,” then, “I was so happy and so relieved.”
That small recovery changed the tone before the altar, where she said Oxlade-Chamberlain cried when he saw her for the first time. “It set the tone – I knew from that moment it was gonna be the best day ever,” she said, and the line fits the story: the wedding was built on a weekend of ceremony, wardrobe changes and one very close call that ended in relief.

Alanis at five months
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.” Alanis joined the celebrations in January, alongside four-year-old Axel, while Edwards also said the wedding was “the best day of my life – up there with the births of my children.”
For readers tracking Edwards rather than the bridal fashion alone, the practical takeaway is that the celebrations already sit inside a busier year: she also said she will be on the festival circuit this summer following the release of her debut solo album. That makes this wedding less like a standalone celebrity photo set and more like the bridge between a family milestone and the next phase of her public work.
