But for many guests (myself included), the culinary experience peaked at the after-party, when a Wendy’s food truck pulled up to serve cheeseburgers, fries and chicken nuggets, writes Derek Blasberg.
The new Mr and Mrs Peltz Beckham are the stars of a digital cover for the June 2022 issue of British Vogue, which includes coverage of their three-day wedding celebrations in Palm Beach.“The highlight of the whole wedding for me was seeing her for the first time in that dress,” Brooklyn says. “It was the first time ever in my life when I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath.”
They originally planned for a wedding in the summer of 2021, then autumn, and eventually settled on 9 April 2022. “When the world was in lockdown, we went through different variations of what a wedding would look like,” she begins. “We weren’t sure if we should do a small one earlier and then a big party. Eventually, we decided we wanted the big wedding as soon as it was possible to do it safely. And we’re so happy we did. It was amazing to be in the presence of so many people we love again.
Dior made Brooklyn’s wedding suit too, which was a formal white tail tuxedo. “I’ve known Brooklyn for a long time and the discussion for the wedding suits happened when we were together in New York,” Jones explains. “They were very clear about the idea.” Brooklyn accessorised with a pocket watch, a gift from his mother-in-law, which he wore with a diamond chain, designed by LA-based jeweller Anita Ko, to hold the jacket closed.
There were jovial moments too, such as when the rabbi accidentally referred to Brooklyn by his father’s name – twice. And when a reality TV star didn’t see the water features that surrounded the wedding aisle and took an unexpected dip up to his knees. But what’s a wedding without a couple of trips? “The only thing that Brooklyn cared about was the food,” Nicola recalls, describing a menu prepared by Thierry Isambert Culinary & Event Design.
