It comes after it was revealed that 51-year-old Victoria Beckham wouldn't be attending the nuptials.
But making sure that Mel felt the love, she shared an Instagram tribute post ahead of her big day with Rory.
Posh Spice took to her Instagram stories to share a stunning snap of her and her bandmate looking all glammed up.
She added the sweet caption: 'Sending love to you @officialmelb!
'@rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx.'
Victoria, as well as fellow bandmate Geri, weren't at the ceremony.
The MailOnline originally told how Victoria would be out of the country and therefore would not be present to watch Mel walk down the aisle.

A source said: 'Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there.
'She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame.
'There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things.'
Meanwhile Geri was said to be absent because of her tense relationship with Mel.
The two women had a big falling out when Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out.
Mel made the confession while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019.
Geri was stunned and upset by Mel's admission, and even more saddened when Mel allegedly did not issue an apology.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs received a standing ovation from his fellow inmates when he returned to jail after he was acquitted of sex trafficking charges in his trial. Marc Agnifilo, the lead lawyer for the Act Bad rapper, told People that his client's fellow inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, viewed the partial acquittal as a sign of hope. Combs with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who testified against him during the trial. Picture:In this courtroom sketch, Combs reacts after he was convicted of prostitution-related offences but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Picture: Elizabeth Williams via AP 'They all said, 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,'' Agnifilo said. The former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney went on to describe Combs' overall emotional and mental state, per Page Six. 'He's doing okay,' Agnifilo shared, adding that the Revolt co-founder, 55, 'realises he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on.' Combs' mother, Janice, leaving court with other family members. Picture: Eduardo'He burns hot in all matters,' the lawyer continued. 'I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune that can erase them. You can't cover them up.' Last Wednesday, Combs finally learned his fate in his eight-week sex-trafficking trial after a jury reached a verdict. People react outside Manhattan Federal Court after the verdict was handed down. Picture: Eduardo/AFP The disgraced rapper was found not guilty on two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and on racketeering conspiracy. However, he was convicted on two counts of prostitution, with each charge carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison. After the verdict was read, Combs' legal team urged Judge Arun Subramanian to release him on bail pending his sentencing. Subramanian denied the record producer's request because his attorneys failed to demonstrate that he posed 'no danger to any person.' Combs' sentencing hearing is set for October 3.

Cameron Boyce's Descendants co-stars have paid tribute to the late star on the sixth anniversary of his death. The Disney actor passed away at the age of just 20 when he suffered a seizure in his sleep due to epilepsy and on Sunday (06.07.25), he was remembered as an "angel" by his friends. Sofia Carson shared a behind-the-scenes cast photo and wrote on Instagram: "Our Angel. Forever." Booboo Stewart shared the same photo on his own Instagram Story, while Sarah Jeffrey shared a photo of herself with Cameron 'on a BC ferry to Victoria to shoot more of Descendants." She added: "Life is good. Miss you Cam.' Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega recently reflected on the last time she saw Cameron, explaining how she felt "uncomfortable" when they were put in a "weird" position and asked to kiss during an audition, but her friend spoke up for her. Speaking to French TV outlet Canal+, she said: "The last time I saw my friend Cameron Boyce — I'd known him since I was like 11 or 12, and we were supposed to kiss [in an audition] and he knew me, since I was 11 or 12. This is a few years later, 15, 16, came in, we were supposed to be love interests. "But because he obviously felt weird and he was a bit older, he was like — we both just kinda looked at each other and we were like, 'No, we can't do this.' "And it was so sweet because I was uncomfortable and I was having a hard time. .. And then, we wished each other well." Jenna was "really thankful and grateful" to Cameron for speaking up, and agreed with her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star Catherine O'Hara when she said he had been a "gentleman". Following his tragic death, the actor's family set up the Cameron Boyce Foundation to provide "young people artistic and creative outlets as alternatives to violence and negativity". At the time of his passing, Cameron's "utterly heartbroken" family remembered him as one of the world's "brightest lights". They said in a statement at the time: "It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron. 'He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him. 'We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."

Hollywood legend Michael Douglas drops career bombshell
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. After decades in the business and with dozens of films under his belt, Michael Douglas has 'no intention' of acting again. The 80-year-old delivered the sad update for fans during a press conference at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival where he was presenting a newly-restored print of Miloš Forman's classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, according to Variety. 'I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realised I had to stop,' Douglas told the audience in the Czech Republic. 'I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set. I have no real intentions of going back. I say I'm not retired because if something special came up, I'd go back, but otherwise, no.' Douglas with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones at the 2021 Emmys. Picture:The actor was joined by Zeta-Jones and their daughter Carys at Cannes in 2023. Picture:The Wall Street and Fatal Attraction star, who was diagnosed with throat cancer 15 years ago, but later revealed it had actually been tongue cancer, also talked about his health battle. 'Stage 4 cancer is not a holiday, but there aren't many choices, are there?' Douglas said. 'I went with the program, involving chemo and radiation, and was fortunate. The surgery would have meant not being able to talk and removing part of my jaw and that would have been limiting as an actor.' Douglas in a scene from The In-Laws. And with Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. It comes after Douglas, who is now cancer-free, told Deadline that he was 'enjoying' his break from being in front of the camera while focusing on his personal life and producing films. Throughout his lengthy career, Douglas has earned plenty of accolades, including an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Gordon Gekko in 1987 film Wall Street. He also produced the Jack Nicholson-led One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in 1975, which went on to win Best Picture at the Oscars. His other notable on-screen roles include in Romancing The Stone, Fatal Attraction, The War of the Roses, Basic Instinct, The American President and Solitary Man.
