The All About Tonight hitmaker wed her partner, model Oliver Cheshire, on 6 June at Ely Cathedral, after getting engaged at St Paul's Cathedral in 2016. The bride looked gorgeous in a gown designed by Schiaparelli's creative director Daniel Roseberry. Pixie's dream ivory silk crepe and double satin gown featured a bustier embellished with 20,000 nude seed beads and a 4.5-metre train scattered with Swarovski seed beads – so we're not surprised it took 650 hours of work to create, according to Vogue.

Pixie explained she started working with Daniel via Zoom during lockdown, adding: "Daniel was asking me about my favourite movie, scent, flowers, fruits… then he made sketches based on our conversation that were shipped over to me in this beautiful box. It was amazing seeing them in the flesh."

Pixie also shared a look at her second wedding dress, which she wore following the ceremony.
For the bouquet throwing, Pixie swapped her show-stopping gown for a white figure-hugging dress featuring buttons across the front and spaghetti straps. She also took her curled blonde hair out of its elegant up to and added a gorgeous hair band to complete her look.
