Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham ask for donations to Ukraine in lieu of gifts

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have broken their silence following their lavish Florida wedding.

The couple exchanged vows at Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson’s $103m (£79m) compound in Palm Beach last Saturday.

Sharing a photo of herself and her father, 79, during the big day, Nicola, 27, admitted she and her husband, 23, are ‘devastated’ by the war in Ukraine and are asking for donations to aid relief in lieu of wedding gifts.

Taking to Instagram Stories, she wrote: ‘My dad spoke about this in his wedding at our wedding. 

‘Me and Brooklyn are devastated about what is going on in Ukraine and have asked for donations to CareOrg in lieu of wedding gifts. Anything helps.’

The bride was walked down the aisle by her father Nelson to a string orchestra playing Songbird.

Her new sister-in-law, 10-year-old Harper Beckham, was among the flower girls, and her bridesmaids wore gowns crafted by tailor Joel Diaz.

Brooklyn wore a Dior suit, and as a gift to her new husband, Nicola sewed a bespoke label into his outfit.

He added a diamond lapel chain from Anita Ko – a gift from his new in-laws. 

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails adorned with white cherry blossoms as a jazz quartet played, Vogue reported.

A 12-piece live band then took over the entertainment for the black-tie dinner organised by ALR Music.

The dinner was served in a marquee by the seafront, filled with spectacular floral arrangements from HMR Designs.

The team used garden roses layered with peonies, white ranunculus, spray roses and hydrangea, Vogue said.

The father of the groom gave a speech, reportedly crying and having to ‘stop to take a breather’. He called the billion dollar heiress ‘incredible’.

He ‘shed a tear’ while speaking about ‘wanting to protect’ his first son following his birth in 1999, according to onlookers.

A source told The Sun: ‘He said he was sleeping on the hospital floor, holding the door shut because he didn’t want to let anyone get in.

‘David got a lump in his throat and had to stop and take a breather to regain his composure, but it was a very sweet speech.’

He’s thought to have added of Nicola: ‘We love you so much. We are excited that you’ll be part of the family.’

Brooklyn’s best men, his brothers Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17, delivered speeches.
