Britain’s most lavish wedding .. a snip at £5m

-

THIS bride has lots to smile about as she walks down the aisle in a fairytale wedding believed to have set the groom back £5million.

The venue was Blenheim Palace and the flowers were by the Kardashian­s’ florist Jeff Leatham, who adorned the venue in roses said to number a million, but who’s counting?

Guests were treated to a surprise performanc­e from Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke, who was flown in from the US and paid a fee reported to be around £150,000.

The cake, decorated with hundreds of roses and doves, was created by Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium, and the evening ended with a stunning fireworks display in the grounds.

Still, money was no object to Folarin Alakija as he wed Nazanin Ghaissarif­ar. His mother, an oil tycoon, is the world’s richest black woman.
