A host of socialites and celebrities descended upon Dubrovnik, Croatia for the wedding of Fabiola Beracasa to investment banker Jason Beckman on Friday. No secret was made of the glamorous nuptials as the wedding party took over the fortified city and locals were treated to glimpses of the blushing bride and her famous guests. Fabiola, who is the daughter of publishing magnate Veronica Hearst, looked picture-perfect in a peplum-style, lace dress that featured sheer panels and long sleeves.

The 38-year-old fashionista opted for a long train and cathedral veil, which she had fastened tightly onto her elegant up-do. Fabiola's bridesmaid, also in white, diligently carried her train as the newlyweds paraded through the streets of the historic city. Fabiola and Jason, who got engaged in 2010, started off their celebrations at the Sponza Palace, a breathtaking 16th century residence. Guests then moved on to celebrity-favourite Hotel Excelsior, where they were treated to an alfresco wedding breakfast. Famous faces at the nuptials included Givenchy's creative director Riccardo Tisci, who may well have lent a helping hand in designing Fabiola's dress, much like he did for Kim Kardashian's recent wedding.

The guest list was certainly lengthy as star attendees ranged from Snoop Dog to fashion heiress Margherita Missoni, who was accompanied on the trip by her adorable 9-month-old baby son Otto. Misfits actor Nathan Stewart-Jarrett was also spotted at the ceremony. Fabiola and Jason's nearest and dearest are said to have taken a flight that was especially chartered for them by the couple, paying £1,500 for economy seats and £4,700 for business class. The celebrations continued well into the evening with the new Mrs Beckman changing into a ravishing red and cream ruffled dress to dance the night away.

In the lead up to her wedding, Fabiola had kept her 16,000 Twitter followers updated on her Dubrovnik movements. While rain poured down during the rehearsal dinner, Fabiola was blessed with bright sunshine for the actual ceremony. "Thank you #Dubrovnik for the warmest wedding welcome ever!!! #adriaticsea," she captioned one photo, while she wrote "Me and JB," alongside another photo of herself and her soon-husband-to-be.
