Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen tied-the-knot in a lavish 'Bridgerton-themed' wedding ceremony wedding on Friday.
The bride, 28, stunned in an elegant £10,000 off-the-shoulder designer gown by Suzanne Neville for the outdoor ceremony.
White rose petals lined the aisle, with floral sculptures and candles creating a stunning backdrop which the bride and groom shared a kiss in front of.
Taking place in the Buckinghamshire countryside, Dani and Jarrod were joined by 50 of their closest friends and relatives.
She was walked down the aisle by her father Danny, who had promised his daughter that he would keep his speech clean.

An insider told The Sun: 'Danny and Jo were very emotional about Dani getting married. She was their first born and she was there through all the highs and lows.
'They couldn't be more proud and they love Jarrod like a son. Danny walked her down the aisle. Jo joked that they should both do it but they're keeping it traditional.
'Jo made sure Danny's speech wasn't outrageous.'
The source added that their wedding gift to their daughter was paying for her hen do and her £10,000 dress.
Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters were flower girls, with her son Santiago, four, and brother Arty, 11, as page boys.
Days before the ceremony, Dani opened up about the touching role her dad Danny would play in her wedding to Jarrod.
She told of how her father and beloved EastEnders star would walk her down the aisle in a moment that would be 'filled with emotion'.
Speaking on their joint podcast, Live and Let Dyers, Dani revealed she was keeping her wedding dress a surprise from her dad until the big day to honour a special tradition.

'Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress and that? Oh, it's lovely,' she shared.
'Yeah, your dad's not meant to see it – it's a moment for the dad as well!'
Dani has had a whirlwind few months, filled with two lavish hen parties and all the excitement of getting ready for her big day.
Speaking to Heat magazine earlier this week, Dani said: 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever - that's the only thing I've not enjoyed.'
Dani also revealed she will take on a double-barrell surname after the wedding, becoming Dyer-Bowen.
She said: 'I am going to keep the Dyer - I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.'
The wedding will undoubtedly be an emotional day for Dani's father Danny, with the reality star saying he and West Ham star Jarrod are very close.
'We've joked so many times that Jarrod is marrying the wrong Dani Dyer!' she said.
The mother-of-three added she has really enjoyed the build up to the big day, which included a recent hen night in Ibiza with her pals.
Sparing no expense with her lavish nuptials, the bride-to-be shared a glimpse of her wild celebrations on Instagram, which included a boozy brunch, a boat trip and a raucous night in the lavish nightclub Ushuaia.
Dani and Jarrod have been dating since 2021 and share twin two-year-old daughters Summer and Star, while Dani also has son Santiago, four, with her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence

A source told The Sun that Dani really splashed the cash during her hen celebrations, including a VIP night at Ushuaia that cost at least £8,000.
The insider said: 'Dani might have flown on a commercial flight but they splashed the cash when they landed.
'She spent Friday night at Ushuaia where they were on a VIP table with a minimum spend of £8,000. The next day they hired a boat to go around the coast before spending the rest of the time chilling at the Hard Rock hotel.
'Dani also had a boozy brunch at Beso Beach where her mates put on Jarrod masks and sang ABBA songs with her.
'They spent their last night at super club Hï Ibiza where they had a VIP booth. There were some sore heads when they touched down at City airport.'
Meanwhile, Jarrod jetted off to Las Vegas for his stag do as he prepared to marry the Love Island star.
Ahead of the stag, Dani admitted her fears over Jarrod's trip, with her dad Danny joking that there would be strippers.
Discussing the plans for the hen and stag parties, the daughter and father duo butted heads over one racy topic.
Explaining the timeline on their Live And Let Dyers podcast, Dani explained: 'I literally get back from my Hen on the Monday and then I get married on the Saturday. And if you can go, Jarrod gets back Thursday and then married Saturday.'
That's when Danny cheered and shouted out: 'Strippers!,' much to his daughter's dismay.
'No, you're not,' insisted Dani, who went on to explain that at a different Hen she attended, they had a butler in the buff.
Dani said: 'We had to draw him, we had to draw the naked man. It's different, it's so different. I don't care.'
Not giving in, Danny quipped: 'It's sexism this, this is sexism at its height ladies and gentlemen.'
The former Love Island star replied: 'It's not sexist, I'm just saying he was literally standing there in his apron and then you had to draw him. Then he turns around and straddles the chair.'

Tinder is testing a HEIGHT filter - as devastated users say it's 'over for short men'

It's the go-to dating app for millions of people around the world. But Tinder has sparked controversy this week, following the launch of its latest feature. The dating app has quietly started testing a height filter. Spotted within the Premium Discovery section of Tinder's Settings, the tool allows users to specify the minimum and maximum heights for their matches. Posting a screenshot to Reddit, user @Extra_Barracudaaaa wrote: 'Oh God. They add a height filter.' Some users have welcomed the tool with open arms, with one asking: 'Why is this a problem?' 'If someone liked a certain height, go for it. It also weeds out the peeps who dont like your height,' they continued. However, others are less than impressed, with one sceptic tweeting: 'It's over for short men. What are they going to do now?' It's the go-to dating app for millions of people around the world. But Tinder has sparked controversy this week, following the launch of its latest feature. The dating app has quietly started testing a height filter Tinder users can already adjust several search preferences within the Discovery Settings - including age range, sexual orientation, and distance. 'Discovery is the part of Tinder where you see other people's profiles. You can adjust your search preferences and control who you see in Discovery by editing your Discovery Settings,' Tinder explains in its Help Centre. However, users who subscribe to Tinder Platinum - a premier subscription tier starting at £16.67/month - have access to additional preferences. This includes the new height option, as well as minimum number of photos, whether or not they have a bio, and specific interests. Technically, these are 'preferences', rather than outright filters. 'Preferences show you people who match your vibe, but won't limit who you see - you'll still be able to match with people outside of your selections,' Tinder explained. While Tinder did not widely announce the height tool, it confirmed to MailOnline that it is testing the paid option. 'We're always listening to what matters most to our Tinder users - and testing the paid height preference is a great example of how we're building with urgency, clarity, and focus,' a Tinder spokesperson told MailOnline. One distraught users claimed it's 'over for short men' after spotting a screenshot of Tinder's new height filter The tool has received a very mixed response across social media, with some welcoming the option 'I 1000% wouldn't have met my wife if this filter existed, I'm short (5'5') and definitely would have been filtered out immediately just by even a basic filter for 5'7'+ (slightly below average height and over). God speed to my fellow short kings. Glad to be out of it,' one user said 'This is part of a broader effort to help people connect more intentionally on Tinder. 'Our new product principles guide every decision, and this one speaks directly to a few: prioritizing user outcomes, moving fast, and learning quickly. 'Not every test becomes a permanent feature, but every test helps us learn how we can deliver smarter, more relevant experiences and push the category forward.' The tool has received a mixed response across social media, with some welcoming the option. 'I honestly don't see what's so bad or wrong about this can someone explain?' one user asked. Another added: 'It's a good thing. Not a bad thing. Now you can match with people whose standards you meet.' And one wrote: 'Good. People have preferences and that's totally cool.' However, other users were more cynical. 'I 1000% wouldn't have met my wife if this filter existed, I'm short (5'5') and definitely would have been filtered out immediately just by even a basic filter for 5'7'+ (slightly below average height and over). God speed to my fellow short kings. Glad to be out of it,' one user said. Another added: 'When are they adding a weight filter so men can do the same thing for women?' And one joked: 'Doesn't matter most people will probably lie about their height lol.' The news comes shortly after it was revealed that women are using ChatGPT to c atch men lying about their heights on dating apps. 'Girls are using ChatGPT to see if men are lying about their height on dating apps,' said Justine Moore, a venture capitalist in San Francisco. 'Upload four pictures, it uses proportions and surroundings to estimate height. 'I tested it on 10 friends and family members – all estimates were within 1 inch of their real height.' HOW DID ONLINE DATING BECOME SO POPULAR? The first ever incarnation of a dating app can be traced back to 1995 when was first launched. The website allowed single people to upload a profile, a picture and chat to people online. The app was intended to allow people looking for long-term relationships to meet. eHarmony was developed in 2000 and two years later Ashley Madison, a site dedicated to infidelity and cheating, was first launched. A plethora of other dating sites with a unique target demographic were set up in the next 10-15 years including: OKCupid (2004), Plenty of Fish (2006), Grindr (2009) and Happn (2013). In 2012, Tinder was launched and was the first 'swipe' based dating platform. After its initial launch it's usage snowballed and by March 2014 there were one billion matches a day, worldwide. In 2014, co-founder of Tinder, Whitney Wolfe Herd launched Bumble, a dating app that empowered women by only allowing females to send the first message. The popularity of mobile dating apps such as Tinder, Badoo and more recently Bumble is attributable to a growing amount of younger users with a busy schedule. In the 1990s, there was a stigma attached to online dating as it was considered a last-ditch and desperate attempt to find love. This belief has dissipated and now around one third of marriages are between couples who met online. A survey from 2014 found that 84 per cent of dating app users were using online dating services to look for a romantic relationship.
