On 22 July 2022, Made in Chelsea star Binky's wedding dreams came true when she tied the knot at The White House at Kalami, a beachfront property that was home to British author Lawrence Durrell and his wife Nancy in the 1930s.
"I used to watch The Durrells [the ITV drama] on TV and I remember saying: 'I really want to go there – it looks like heaven,'" she said to HELLO!. "Having it as our wedding venue was a dream come true."
Jess Wright
Jessica Wright and William Lee-Kemp chose Majorca as their wedding destination, and they exchanged vows in the Basílica de Sant Francesc in Palma on 9 September 2021 before hosting their evening reception at Spanish castle, Castillo de Bendinat.
Jess' brother Mark Wright acted as master of ceremonies while his wife Michelle Keegan was one of her 12 stunning bridesmaids.
"I had a vision for this whole day that I wanted it to be Hollywood glamour combined with this amazing regal place, with a theme of black, white and gold," she told HELLO!.
Denise Welch
Loose Women star Dennise Welch was a vision in a lemon-coloured raw silk and Chantilly lace gown when she married Lincoln Townley on 13 July 2013 in a private villa on the Algarve. Carol McGiffin, Andrea McLean and Jill Halfpenny were among the 260-guest list.

Oti Mabuse and her husband Marius Iepure had two weddings, the first of which was when she was just 23 years old. The Dancing on Ice judge tied the knot in front of family and friends in Denmark and South Africa. "We got married five years ago in Denmark in the countryside," she said during an interview with The Guardian.
"We chose a country we thought would be special - I had never been. A few years later, my parents wanted us to have a wedding at home and we ended up having another in South Africa."
Janette Manrara
If there's any couple who knows a thing or two about destination weddings, it's Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec.

They then held a bigger celebration at the Victorian Bath House in Bishopsgate in front of celebrity guests such as Frankie Bridge, Louise Redknapp, Oti Mabuse and Anton du Beke.
Following a "Minnie Mouse minimoon" at Disneyland Paris, she told HELLO!: "Then we flew to Slovenia, where we got married on a hilltop - that was like a dream. Finally, we went to Miami with my entire family and it just couldn't have been better. You know obviously, we were tired with all the flights and the hotels. But all of that is a part of what made it memorable."
James Middleton
James Middleton and Alizée Thevenet tied the knot in September 2021 in Bormes-les-Mimosas, famous for being one of the most beautiful villages in the Côte d’Azur.
