Geri Halliwell is officially a married woman after tying the knot in a lavish ceremony to Formula One boss Christian Horner at the idyllic St Mary’s Church in Woburn, Bedfordshire on Friday.
The mother-of-one looked every inch the blushing bride in a long-sleeved, white lace gown that featured a full A-line skirt, intricate beading and a classic veil.
Her famous auburn tresses were worn out in loose, romantic curls while her striking features dazzled thanks to a glowing complexion, rosy pink lipstick and smokey eyes.
The 42-year-old finished off her timeless look by holding onto an elegant arrangement of pastel pink and white peonies.
Meanwhile 41-year-old Christian cut a debonair figure in a three-piece suit complete with a grey waistcoat, matching tie and a black coat-tails.

The Look At Me hitmaker was joined by her nine-year-old daughter Bluebell, who served as a flower girl.
There was no shortage of famous faces in attendance with fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders and singer Myleene Klass in attendance.
However not all of the Spice Girls were able to join Geri with a notably absent Victoria Beckham, who had work commitments in Singapore, taking to social media to wish her friend a magical day.
“My beautiful friend @gerihalliwellofficial Sending u love and happiness. I’m so sad I couldn’t be with you on your special day x I love u x,” the singer-turned-designer wrote alongside a retro snap of the pair during their heyday in the hugely popular Nineties girl band.

And while their big day went off without a hitch, it didn’t come without some pre-wedding dramas after reports surfaced the F1 exec’s parents were furious about his relationship with Geri and would not be coming to the event.
Christian’s mother and father were said to be heartbroken after he ended his 14-year relationship with Beverly Allen to be with Geri – with whom he shares one-year-old daughter Olivia with – and out of principle did not attend the nuptials.
After going public with their romance last May, Geri and Christian announced their engagement in November.
The duo took the old-fashioned approach with an announcement in the UK version of The Times, which read: “Mr C.E.J. Horner OBE and Geri Halliwell, The engagement is announced between Christian, son of Mr and Mrs G.M. Horner and Geraldine, daughter of the late Mr L.F. Halliwell and Mrs A. Parkinson.”

Ginger Spice has had previous relationships with singer Robbie Williams, comedian Russell Brand, DJ Chris Evans and director Sacha Gervasi, who is the father of her daughter.
