Ellie Goulding married her beau Caspar Jopling on Saturday 31 August 2019 at York Minster with a star-studded guest list present. For her big day, Ellie, 32, looked beautiful in not one, not two, not three, but FOUR wedding dresses. Scroll down to read more about all of her dresses and her makeup beauty look.
Ellie Goulding's first wedding dress
When Ellie emerged from the cathedral, she looked beautiful in a stunning long-sleeved bespoke Chloé wedding dress designed by Natacha Ramsay-Levi. The silk double crêpe white dress was hand-embroidered with White Roses of York and subtly embellished with white glass beads. Doubled with a silk radzimir petticoat, the garment took more than 640 hours to construct and highlights the meticulous skill and savoir-faire of the Chloé Paris atelier.

Ellie Goulding's makeup on her wedding day
In an interview with Vogue, Ellie said: "The key is to look and feel like myself on the day. My best friend, bridesmaid and long-standing makeup artist Lucy Wearing will be creating soft, neutral beauty beginning with clean, fresh skin using Capture Dreamskin by Dior. I don’t want anything too heavy for the ceremony, but the focus will be on the eyes. We will build the makeup as we go throughout the evening."

A good base for makeup is very important, which is why Ellie really looked after her skin before her big day, telling Vogue: “I trust Exuviance’s deep hydration treatment and Rodial products as I truly believe they work. I also love Tata Harper, everything she makes is vegan. When it comes to facials, Stella [McCartney] introduced me to FaceGym and I have never looked back!"
Ellie was spotted leaving FaceGym in the days before her wedding along with Caspar.

Ellie Goulding's something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
Ellie's something blue has to be the Electrifi VW car she arrived in (above). Her something old is yet to be revealed, and her something borrowed could well have been the diamond earrings loaned to her by Stella McCartney. And, well, her something new could have been ALL of those incredible wedding dresses.
