The 32-year-old, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, could be seen wearing her wedding dress, and the dark sunglasses she has become known for following the release of her latest album, in a post on TikTok.
The TikTok read: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle.'
Charli confirmed in the caption that 'luckily' the 35-year-old drummer did cry.
In a separate post captioned 'bridal party energy' Daniel could be seen wearing his wife's veil, while The Dare, who produced Charli's track Guess and whose real name is Harrison Smith, could also be seen at the party.
The wedding reportedly took place at Hackney Town Hall in London on Saturday, with the pair being spotted taking pictures with friends and family outside the venue, on social media.
The pair first shared photos of their engagement in 2023, and have worked together on a number of occasions collaborating on Charli track Spinning, before Daniel was credited as a co-producer and co-writer on two songs on Brat.
Daniel has also performed the viral 'Apple dance' at one of his wife's London shows.
Following the release of the Brat album, Charli's infectious electronic-pop tracks soared up the charts and inspired a trend, with fans embracing the 'Brat summer' cultural movement.
The accolades followed, and in March she dominated the Brit Awards, winning five categories including songwriter of the year.
She also secured album of the year, artist of the year, dance act, and song of the year for a version of her track Guess featuring Billie Eilish.
In February she picked up three awards at the Grammys and she was named songwriter of the year at The Ivors in May.
She recently performed at this year's Glastonbury Festival and at her own day festival in London's Victoria Park.
Daniel's band The 1975 are completed by singer Matty Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, and bass player Ross MacDonald, they are best known for tracks such as Chocolate, Love Me and The Sound.
The drummer has also launched an electronic solo career, releasing his first solo song Screen Cleaner in 2024.

MAFS 2026: Here come the (very hot) brides and grooms! Daily Mail unveils full cast ahead of show's highly anticipated return

Married At First Sight is back for another series, and next year's cast is already shaping up to be the most scandalous yet. Filming for season 13 has been in full swing across Sydney, and now Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that the latest batch of brides is opinionated and outspoken and will not hold back when it comes to calling out bad behaviour. 'They are fearless and will hold everyone to account,' says MAFS expert John Aiken. 'That is going to create some very fiery dinner parties.' Some of the new brides also bring what Aiken describes as a heavy TikTok flavour to their dating approach, making for entertaining television. 'It's a reflection of how dating is happening in the real world right now - online, fast and sometimes a little unfiltered,' he explained. Aiken said producers have managed to secure personalities and backgrounds not seen before in the experiment. 'There's more cultural diversity, there's a sports presenter who loves cricket, and there are also personalities who break the mould of previous seasons,' he revealed. 'It's a very different mix to what we've had in the past.' 'They're authentic. Sometimes that makes them controversial, but it also makes them relatable. Whether people are cheering for them or against them, they're watching,' he added. Viewers should expect a perfect storm of glamour, big personalities and explosive potential, as tattooed bombshells, TikTok sensations and high-flying entrepreneurs collide. Insiders say the drama has already begun and the cast hasn't even filmed their first dinner party yet. 'There's a lot of ego this year - and some of them are treating it like the Olympics of drama,' one production source spilled. 'If you thought last season was bad… you haven't seen anything yet.' MEET THE BRIDES Alissa Fay Nurse and part-time influencer Alissa Fay already boasts a massive online following of over 270,000 TikTok fans, thanks to her glamorous lifestyle. Friends describe her as 'fiery but loveable' and 'someone who doesn't back down from a challenge'. She's fresh out of a high-profile relationship and insiders say she's hoping MAFS will be her chance at real love - but 'she's not the type to put up with nonsense for the sake of staying in the experiment'. Alissa recently called it quits with her longtime beau. She thrives in the spotlight and is tipped to be one of the most talked-about brides this season. Rebecca Zukowski Melbourne leasing manager Rebecca Zukowski is a striking blonde with a reputation for telling it exactly how it is. Colleagues say she's a powerhouse at work - driven, ambitious and laser-focused on her goals. But friends insist there's a softer side to her: 'She loves a night out with the girls, family dinners, and has a wicked sense of humour once she lets her guard down.' She's been single for a few years and is ready to settle down, but producers believe her no-nonsense approach could clash with a partner who can't keep up. Gia Fleur Already dubbed 'the wildest bride in MAFS history' by crew members, Gia Fleur is a heavily tattooed Melbourne-based beauty who lives unapologetically on her own terms. A self-confessed extrovert, she has a large circle of friends and a reputation for being the life of the party. Gia has had several cosmetic enhancements and isn't shy about discussing them. 'She's confident, outrageous and completely unpredictable,' a source revealed. 'If anyone's going to storm out of a dinner party or start a full-scale blow-up, it's Gia - but she also has a loyal, caring side for people she loves.' Julia Vogl A former journalist and celebrity interviewer turned confidence coach, Julia Vogl has rubbed shoulders with Hollywood royalty including Cher, Kate Winslet and Matthew McConaughey. Now based in Sydney, she helps women reclaim their self-worth through speaking events and online programs. Friends say she's magnetic, articulate and 'has a way of getting people to reveal their deepest secrets without even realising it'. Julia's also a style chameleon - she's rocked everything from pixie cuts to waist-length hair - and insiders believe she could be one of the show's breakout stars. Brook Crompton A sun-kissed glamour girl with a picture-perfect Instagram feed, part-time model Brook Crompton is a social butterfly with a fiercely loyal streak. 'Brook's the life of the party but has her friends' backs no matter what,' says a mate. When she's not fronting the catwalk Brook works as as talent acquisition specialist. She already boasts over 5,000 followers on Instagram. Rebecca 'Bec' Zacharia One of Adelaide's most recognisable socialites, Rebecca 'Bec' Zacharia has been a fixture in the city's society pages for more than a decade. A graduate of the elite Wilderness School, she hails from a prominent family - her father Lee was famously featured in Cleo's Most Eligible Bachelors list in the '80s. Bec carved out a successful career in London real estate before returning to Adelaide to be closer to family. She's been featured twice in 'Singles Ready to Mingle' lists and is known for throwing lavish dinner parties. 'Bec moves in the right circles, knows how to turn heads and has a razor-sharp wit,' says a friend. Melissa Akbay Melissa Akbay is a stylish free spirit who blends fashion, wellness and social media influence into her daily life. Friends say the Canberra-based bride is 'effortlessly cool' and known for her spontaneous travel adventures and carefully curated Instagram feed. She's fiercely loyal to her inner circle but has no patience for pretence - 'if you cross her, you'll know about it'. Ankita Karungalekar Sports presenter Ankita Karungalekar has worked with Cricket Australia, the Mumbai Indians and Mumbai City FC. She's a Miss India Australia runner-up and Miss World Australia state finalist, with a reputation for poise under pressure. Off camera, she's passionate about travel and is known to juggle her career between Australia and India. Friends say she has a competitive edge that could make her a formidable presence in the experiment. MEET THE GROOMS Chris Nield AFL player Chris Nield has the athletic drive and discipline that comes with years in elite sport. Friends describe him as 'a true Aussie bloke' - humble, hardworking and fiercely loyal to his mates. Off the field, sources say producers see him as the season's 'strong, dependable' groom - but whether that makes him a hero or a bore remains to be seen. Grayson McIvor Gold Coast-based recruitment agency owner Grayson McIvor is confident, stylish and effortlessly charming. Known for networking his way into every room worth being in, Grayson is just as comfortable in a boardroom as he is at a Sunday session. Friends say he has a taste for luxury and enjoys the finer things in life - but he's also a genuinely supportive friend. Insiders believe his polished exterior could hide a more complex emotional side. Daniel Hewitt A slick Melbourne real estate agent with a taste for designer suits and European cars, Daniel Hewitt is competitive and confident.

He's also close friends with well-known male entertainers, including Aussie stripper Will Parfitt, fuelling speculation that his buck's party will be one to remember. Scott McCristal Scott McCristal has a taste for the spotlight. He's built multiple ventures and amassed a loyal social media following. Friends say the businessman and former reality TV contestant is cheeky, flirty and likes to push boundaries - both socially and romantically. 'Scott's the kind of guy who'll either sweep his bride off her feet or drive her mad,' predicts one insider. Luke Fourniotis Luke Fourniotis is a down-to-earth, animal-loving farmer who has a soft spot for his family. The Melbourne-based groom spends most of his time outdoors, where he's built a loyal following on Instagram and TikTok for his funny and relatable shorts. His videos, often filmed among hay bales or in the paddocks, mix clever workout hacks with wholesome moments featuring his beloved dog Mika. Luke is especially close to his two sisters, who have been cheering him on in his search for love. Friends describe him as 'salt of the earth' and 'a genuine, wholesome bloke' who is kind, funny and refreshingly grounded - but admit he's had no luck when it comes to finding the right girl. Filip Gregov is focused on inspiring others to push past their limitations Filip Gregov A motivational speaker and content creator, Filip Gregov is focused on inspiring others to push past their limitations. Friends say he's 'deep, spiritual and always searching for meaning'.

The reason why Oasis fans who splashed out on £85 merchandise could be sitting on a GOLDMINE

Every year, one fashion brand manages to grab the attention of the nation and become the summer's must have look. This year, the winner is perhaps a surprise. Fresh off the phenomenal success of their reunion tour, Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher have turned their hand to fast fashion through a collaboration with Adidas which has proved almost as popular as their sell out shows. The new Adidas range is inspired by styles that Oasis wore in the Nineties and features everything from the iconic three-stripe T-shirts to matching tracksuits and jackets. Upon release the collection sold out almost immediately with particular interest being directed towards the twin £85 football shirts. Indeed, if you were in Manchester last week, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone wearing anything else. In photos taken at gigs and in the pubs and clubs of Cardiff, it is not uncommon to see multiple beer-soaked punters with the number 25 emblazoned on their back in tribute to the Gallagher's historic come back. The shirts, made from Adidas' 'Jacquard jersey' - a well known high quality fabric, are touted as a 'world tour essential that you'll keep coming back to', which 'helps keep you comfortable all day long'. And people certainly seem to believe it, they are now rarer than Prada - such is the phenomenal demand. This is no doubt music to the Gallagher's ears, who are both set to millions through the deal. But as with all fashion, there runs the risk that these pricey purchases are just a fad destined to fade with the time. When MailOnline donned the range on a night-out in London, reaction to the costume was mixed. As our reporters entered the Admiral Duncan, a well known LGBT pub in Soho, there was a cry of 'full kit w*****' from an unknown fashionista on the street. Once inside, the reaction was more muted with some punters saying they liked the kit and others saying it was giving 'sexy chav.' Many people we spoke to questioned the value of the football shirts, which at £85 are priced higher than some premier league football teams options. 'Oasis are like a football team I suppose', proffered our reporter Jack when asked if he had ever been to a football game, 'but no I haven't and I haven't seen them live either.' Overall the consensus was that it was ironically unoriginal to be wearing the Adidas original range considering how omnipresent it had suddenly become in street culture. But is a savvy investment? The fashion experts seem to think so. Stylist Rochelle White, told us: 'The Oasis and Adidas collaboration has captured attention that I feel that many didn't expect, would be so popular. The range has sold out almost instantly and the standout pieces are the £85 football shirts, which I feel blend 90s nostalgia with a fresh, streetwear culture driven trend. 'I believe it's not just a nod to Oasis's legacy, but a clever reworking of the vintage football aesthetic that's currently having a major revival across menswear and youth culture. 'It is blending nostalgic Britpop culture that taps into a growing appetite for items that combine music heritage with iconic sportswear branding. 'I feel what makes this collaboration particularly popular and a must have, is the rarity and potential long-term value it will provide. Consumers love a Limited-edition, there is something about and creates a must have attitude. It often gains cult status and becomes increasingly scarce, so resale values can no doubt soar well above original price. 'Drops like this often grow in value over time, not just financially, but in terms of cultural currency. The scarcity of the collaboration, combined with its connection to the band and an iconic sportswear brand, means these shirts could become collectors' items. 'We've seen similar patterns with other brands such as Supreme's collaborations with The North Face and similar trends have been observed with previous collaborations, which include Adidas's link-ups with Kanye West's Yeezy line or Palace Skateboards, where in some cases scarcity, brand legacy and cultural resonance have driven demand in secondary markets which fuels long-term demand.' Fashion trendist Louise Duncan agreed, telling us: 'What makes this collection so powerful is the emotional connection. Oasis are a quintessentially British band, with a legacy that spans generations. 'Their recent comeback tour sold out instantly, so it's no coincidence that the football shirts flew off the shelves just as fast. 'They represent more than fashion, they are a symbol of identity, memory, and belonging. 'Adidas is the perfect partner in this, with a heritage rooted in music, football and British streetwear. For many fans, these pieces aren't even worn, they're framed as memorabilia and hung on walls like treasured artwork. 'That rarity, combined with the cultural relevance of both the band and brand, is what gives these shirts their long term value. We're not just seeing a Summer trend, we're witnessing the making of a modern collectable, that is bound to increase in value over time.'
