My wedding’s Posher than yours, Mum!
Brooklyn and his heiress bride land cover of Vogue
FAIRLY or not, he has been labelled as the ultimate product of nepotism. But Brooklyn Beckham has finally outshone his parents by selling his wedding to Vogue magazine.
As the 23-year-old last night married American heiress Nicola Peltz in front of 300 guests, it emerged that the couple will appear on the cover of the fashion bible – eclipsing the deal his parents sealed with downmarket OK! magazine for their nuptials in 1999.
There will be further photographs of Brooklyn and Nicola, 27, and their A-list guests across several pages inside the publication, thought to be the June edition.
There is also speculation the wedding will appear in both the US and UK versions, which are edited by
‘The euphoria in their house has been massive’
David and Victoria’s friends Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful.
A small selection of photos will go up on their social media today, along with some video footage.
Perhaps predictably, the Vogue deal meant that security was tight for the opulent beachside nuptials, which were held at the Palm Beach estate of Nicola’s billionaire investor father, Nelson Peltz, in Florida.
Not satisfied with local police, or the swarms of security guards dressed in black suits, the young Beckhams also recruited a pack of German shepherd dogs.
Car windows were blacked out to avoid paparazzi camera lenses as friends and family arrived. Guests included tennis superstar Serena Williams, actress Eva Longoria, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, singer Marc Anthony – who was expected to perform – and sports agent David Gardner, Brooklyn’s godfather.
Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie, a childhood friend of Brooklyn’s, was also expected to attend, as was model Gigi Hadid, a childhood friend of Nicola.
The Beckham clan was on parade, with Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17, sharing best-man duties and 10-year-old Harper as a flower girl.
Both sets of Brooklyn’s grandparents were also there, as was Victoria’s sister Louise Adams and her daughters Libby and Tallulah.
Veuve Clicquot was the champagne of choice for guests, with floral decorations featuring white orchids, green cymbidiums and white hydrangeas.
Nicola wore a gown by Italian designer Valentino which she had custom-made during several visits to the label’s headquarters in Milan. Brooklyn’s outfit was chosen with the help of his father. Before the big day, David and Victoria had told friends how it would be the proudest day of their lives so far.
One said: ‘The euphoria in the Beckham household has been massive for some months. Victoria keeps saying she doesn’t think she will be able to stop herself crying.’
