The TV presenter – who has been described as the Dutch Victoria Beckham – married artist Niclas Castello in a lavish ceremony in Florence at the weekend, and photos captured from their big day are stunning.

The 42-year-old turned to bridal designer Galia Lahav (a favourite of everyone from Beyonce to Michelle Keegan) to design her jaw-dropping wedding dress. It featured a lace corseted top with a sweetheart neckline, a slim-fitting skirt with a thigh-high split, and what appears to be a removable full-skirt with a train over the top.
