Brooklyn Beckham’s $3m oceanfront wedding was wildly different from Victoria and David’s

The celebrity wedding on everyone’s lips right now is Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s big day – but 23 years earlier, the photographer’s parents David and Victoria Beckham caused quite a stir with their nuptials.

So how do they compare? Brooklyn, 23, and Nicola, 27, tied the knot in a breathtaking oceanfront celebration thought to cost around $3 million (or £2.3 million), which is over 130 times the average budget of £17,300.

Meanwhile, Eden’s Gate revealed the Beckhams’ castle wedding was reportedly worth £750k. Take a look at everything we know about their venues, wedding dresses and more…

Wedding venue

On Saturday 9 April 2022, Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot at her father Nelson Peltz’s impressive home in Palm Beach, Florida, overlooking the ocean.

Worth a whopping $103 million (£76 million), the Palm Beach estate known as Montsorrel was built in 1969 for Anita Young, the wife of Robert R. Young. As well as the grande white property with blue shutters, a green and white marble-panelled living room and a sweeping staircase, it boasts 13 acres of land, a swimming pool, its own private beach and a guest house, making it the perfect spot for a wedding.

Pictures showed huge marquees were erected in the garden with clear windows to give guests unobstructed views of the water, while the pair reportedly exchanged vows underneath a picturesque floral archway.

Brooklyn’s parents had an equally impressive wedding venue on the other side of the world at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 1999. They reportedly tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on the grounds before hosting a lavish Robin Hood-themed reception inside the 15th-century castle, which was decorated with rich purple, burgundy and green colours in keeping with the Disney theme.

Perhaps their choice of venue, which boasts 567 acres, a lake and a waterfall, was also the couple’s way of emulating the Sherwood Forest.

The bride wore a stunning Valentino wedding dress

Nicola looked striking in her simple floor-length gown designed by Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli, which featured a square neckline, thick straps and an open back held together with a bow. Her statement train was covered with her flowing embroidered veil, and she paired her outfit with platform heels and lace gloves.
