Where Eve will say iDo! Persian rugs, giant floral balls and privacy screens arrive at the 12th Century Cotswolds church where Apple heiress will marry her TeamGB star fiance in the society wedding of the year
The Cotswolds was a hive of activity today ahead of the society wedding of the year as Apple heiress Eve Jobs gets set to wed her TeamGB star fiance. The wedding ceremony of the Apple heiress and model to TeamGB equestrian star Harry Charles will be held at St Michael's and All Angels church in Great Tew on Saturday in what is being billed as the society wedding of the year. Dozens of staff this morning descended on the Norman church to prepare for the £5m wedding. Workmen were seen arriving at the church with Persian rugs, lighting rigs and floral display pieces to transform it into the perfect setting for the summer wedding of the year The Grade I listed church, which dates form 1170, is just half a mile from Soho Farmhouse where many of the guests are believed to be staying. There was a parallel buzz of activity in the grounds of the nearby Estelle Manor country house hotel at Eynsham Hall where the main wedding party is to be held. One worker who was shuttling between venues told us: 'It's all for the Jobs wedding - it's going to be quite a do.' Another said: 'This is a real takeover of the Cotswolds. They're inviting hundreds of people and block booking venues.' St Michael's is one of the most beautiful venues in the Cotswolds and was the choice when film director Sam Mendes and classical musician Alison Balsom had their 2017 ceremony there. A team of set designers were laying £15,000 Persian rugs running up the church aisle from the doors to the chancel - while others were adding temporary upholstery to pews. Lighting rigs and speakers were also being set up. Huge white polystyrene balls, placed all around the church and by the altar, will hold garlands of freshly cut flowers on Saturday morning shortly before the ceremony begins. Wicker fence screens were erected at the entrance to the churchyard last night to shield the bride and groom and their guests from view. Specialist cleaners arrived after lunch today to spruce up the ancient place of worship for the society wedding of the year. The ceremony is expected to be conducted by St Michael's newly appointed vicar, Cannon William Burke, a former infantry officer. Cannon Burke declined to discuss the wedding, but tradesmen involved in the huge operation were more forthcoming. One told MailOnline: 'The wedding ceremony will be here at St Michael's but the main party is being held at Estelle Manor....' The grounds of Estelle Manor, where rooms start at £795, is the scene of major preparations this morning including stages and tents. One local told us: 'There are going to be a lot of VIPs here this weekend.' The Manor is renowned internationally as a venue for huge weddings as its copious grounds can accommodate hundreds of guests - while Soho Farmhouse is a glamorous private members club is beloved by A-list celebrities. Eve, 27, who once was named by society bible Tatler as one of its 'new generation of It Girls', and sportsman Harry, 26, got engaged last September and began dating in 2022, making their debut just a year ago at the Paris Olympic Games. Their extravagant nuptials will take place over four days, and come exactly one month after Eve jetted to the Italian isle of Capri for a glitzy hen do. And on the guestlist are a mixture of British sports stars, American politicians and even a sprinkling of royalty. Former US Vice President Kamala Harris is tipped to be among the VIP guests, with Sir Elton John reportedly set to be performing - for a rumoured fee of £1million - and even Princess Beatrice expected to attend. Eve's mother Laurene, left a widow following Jobs' passing in 2011 aged 56 from pancreatic cancer, is said to have gone 'all out' for the wedding with help from renowned society events planner Stanlee Gatti. A-list parties are set to fly to Oxford airport on their private jets, where they will be met by helicopters to transport them to the venue. Also making the VIP guestlist are Kamala's daughter Phoebe and Bill Gates's daughter Jennifer, according to the newspaper. They will be joined by celebs including Arctic Monkeys star Matt Helders, Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica - an equestrian, Apple designer Jony Ive, Sofia Abramovich, daughter of ex-Chelsea owner Roman. And it's not just Kamala set to make an impression from the politics scene in the US - as a source told the paper that 'a lot of important American political figures' will be present. Sources close to the family previously said invites have gone out to figures from fashion, sport, and business, with speculation that Princess Beatrice and Jennifer Gates may be among the attendees. Eve, a model and show jumper in her own right, has two older siblings and one half-sibling. Reed Jobs, 33, and Erin Jobs, 29, will likely be at the wedding. However it's currently not known if her half sibling Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend. Aside from her siblings, Eve has a plethora of high-profile friends descended from other tech billionaires, who will likely see her walk down the aisle. She is also friends with Lilli Hymowitz, daughter of billionaire Gregg Hymowitz, the CEO and founder of investment firm EnTrust Global.

Sources Say Charli XCX and George Daniel Are Having a Party Wedding in Italy This Summer
Charli XCX and her fiance, The 1975 drummer George Daniel, are gearing up to make it official this summer! According to The Sun, the couple are planning to exchange vows in Sicily and are sparing no expense with a "six figure" budget. "Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there," a source says. "It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerizing. Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night." The source adds that "They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day. It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do.' Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife." An insider previously told the outlet back in June that "They've found a venue that they think is perfect for their unique style of wedding, which won't exactly be traditional. The main aim is to have everyone they love come together, and obviously, there are plenty of people who are desperate for an invite." FYI, Charli spoke about her wedding plans to The Howard Stern Show in October of last year, saying (via Just Jared) "We are kind of like planning it slowly. I don't know. It's like, we're both very like chill and we kind of just wanna have a party. It's our vibe. Like neither of us are particularly formal about like marriage, I guess, or care about the formalities of like the ceremony or whatever. We just like wanna be together forever and have a party with our friends, is our vibe. So that's kind of like what we're aiming for wedding wise."

Fashion experts reveal the colours you should NEVER wear to a wedding - and the best wedding guest dress trends for the summer
From crisp pastels to bold brights, picking the perfect outfit for a summer wedding can be a minefield. Luckily, the fashion team at Next has revealed the colours that could be the key to perfecting the summertime wedding look in the UK and abroad - and the ones you should avoid at all costs. While soft hues and elegant florals are in, wearing anything too close to white, including creams and off-whites, is a risky move that could clash with the bride's big moment. On the other hand, certain trending colours such as butter yellow, pistachio green - and even stylish browns - could be the ticket to being best dressed. The team said: 'When it comes to wedding guest dresses, some brides prefer guests to steer clear of shades that are too light, ie creams, off-whites and whites themselves, so if you find yourself wondering whether the colour is too close to white, it's best to check with the bride first.' Instead, guests are being advised to embrace muted tones and romantic pastels, which offer just the right balance of style and subtlety without stealing the spotlight. They added: 'This summer, pastels and more muted tones are set to come into their own at weddings both in the UK and abroad. 'Softer shades make the ideal choice for a wedding guest outfit, so as not to draw too much attention by being too loud but still feeling seasonal and making a statement.' Butter Yellow Lipsy Yellow Hybrid Jersey Borderie Mix Midi Dress £55 Shop Butter yellow is a great choice for those heading to a wedding abroad this year - as it's a colour that's right on trend. The colour has taken centre stage on fashion runaways this year and is clearly the shade of the season. Experts at Next said: 'It's no secret that butter yellow is having a moment this spring/summer, and the pastel shade is a great choice for those heading to a wedding abroad, just make sure to opt for a shade that isn't too light and could be considered off-white, opt for something that has some vibrancy to it.' Dresses such as the Lipsy Yellow Hybrid Dress or Reiss's more pleated look are great options to emulate this trend at weddings this summer. Dusty Blue Chambray Blue Short Sleeve Asymmetric Hem Midi Dress £62 Shop Dusky Blue Long Sleeve Tie Waist Ruffle Embroidered Maxi Dress £72 Shop Dusty blue is an easy shade to make you appear put-together and polished with minimal effort. In fact, pairing this colour with gold accessories will warm up the look for a summer occasion and also add a luxe feel. It also works well in a variety of different materials - whether a satin slip dress or cotton maxi - and is very versatile. Pistachio Green Reiss Sage Zoey Satin Drape-Detail Slip Dress £170 Shop Sage Green Cape Maxi Dress £72 Shop Like butter yellow, pistachio green is another shade that is very in vogue for 2025. The muted shade is a great choice as it feels modern, tapping into the current trend, but also timeless and elegant. The experts noted: 'Shades of green are proving ever popular with bridal parties this season, with many bridesmaids being dressed in sage bridesmaid dresses. 'Pistachio green is also a great choice for a modern look this summer.' Lavender Forever New Purple Mia Satin Maxi Dress £120 Shop Lipsy Lilac Textured Belted Midi Shirt Dress £65 Shop Lavender or lilac is often seen as a more romantic shade, making it perfect for weddings in an outdoor or garden setting. The fashion team at Next said: 'Pairing this colour with some silver sandals and a matching clutch bag will help you add a touch of glamour to your summery look.' It's also very versatile, as a satin slip dress is timeless and elegant or a textured belted midi dress may be more comfortable for cooler climes. Brown Phase Eight Brown Maxine Spot Chiffon Jumpsuit £149 Shop Though brown may traditionally be associated with the autumn or winter, there are certainly ways to rock it throughout the summer. The fashion experts at Next predict that brown is set to be popular this season - and believe it will get a great show at summer weddings. They said: 'It may feel like more of an autumn/winter shade, but brown wedding guest dresses for summer are also going to be popular this season. 'Opt for lighter shades like mocha or taupe, depending on your skin tone, avoiding darker shades like chocolate brown, which should be reserved for later in the year and accessorise with gold tones to warm up the look.' Polka dots Lipsy Monochrome Spot Sleeveless Ruffle Belted Maxi Dress £69 Shop It's also important to think about the pattern you want your wedding guest dress to have. The fashion experts said: 'Whilst it's not a colour specifically, it's also worth mentioning that polka dot patterns are trending this wedding season and also make a beautiful choice for those who would prefer not to wear a solid colour. 'We're seeing lots of monochrome colour schemes in this pattern, which feel timeless and elegant.' Polka dots could be the way to elevate a simple monochrome look, adding a stylish twist for the perfect wedding balance.

I'm a fashion expert and these are my 8 wedding guest rules. From the dress style that will make you look old to the colours you must NEVER wear - and the hat mistakes to avoid
The big fear when it comes to summer wedding parties at our age is looking overdressed. I'm at the stage – aren't we all? – where a lot of friends' children are getting married. If I had a pound for every time a mother of the bride has wailed, 'What do I wear? I don't want to look like the mother of the bride!' I would have enough to buy several toasters. They don't want to look frumpy, stiff and old, is what they mean. Equally, they're centre stage so can't get away with sprucing up an old floral dress. We know the feeling.
