Ghanaian Vogue editor Edward Enninful ties knot with partner Alec Maxwell in star-studded ceremony with glam guests including Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham
The high-octane bash was held at the sprawling 16th century Longleat House in Wiltshire, the home of Enninful’s close friend Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath and her husband Ceawlin Thynn, 8th Marquess of Bath.
Other guests at the exclusive event at the iconic safari park included designers Diane von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs, models Karlie Kloss, Poppy Delevigne, Maya Jama and Bianca Brandolini, and hairstylist Ben Skervin, while Leonardo DiCaprio was also rumoured to be in attendance.
The loved-up couple was joined by close friends and family in the glass-walled Orangery, which had been decorated with blooms by Simon Lycett, who did by Princess Eugenie’s wedding.
Reports also claim that the catering for the event was provided by high-end London firm Cellar Society, with clients including Balenciaga, Harrods and Rolex.
Celebrations continued well into the night, with the 300 specially-selected guests partying in the main house, which is no longer available to paying couples.
Many of the celebrity guests also spent the night at the nearby Babbington House, a branch of Soho House, the Daily Mail reported.
It’s believed that guests at the event lived the high life, sipping on champagne while serenaded by piano music and enjoying a large flower arch that decorated the end of the impressive glass structure.
There was also some snaps shared by Diane von Furstenberg of herself and Naomi Campbell ahead of the glam big day.
Speaking to the Daily Mail before the event, one source said: ‘This is going to be the wedding of the year – there will be no expense spared and no detail ignored.’
‘Edward is one of the best-connected people in Britain, and across America too, so expect super-famous guests. People are already saying you won’t see so many A-listers in one room ever again.
‘Edward appears to have saved some money on the venue as he is thought to have been given it by Emma Weymouth as a wedding present.
‘Edward and Alec have been wanting to marry for some time and Edward’s 50th birthday seemed such a special day to do it.’
There were also a number of high-profile no-shows at the event. Model Gigi Hadid shared a trio of snaps telling the high-powered editor she couldn’t make it, but thanking him for his ‘support, guidance and friendship’.
Pop star Dua Lipa also shared an Instagram post saying she wasn’t able to attend the event, and wishing Enninful a happy birthday.
