The only thing better than one wedding is two. After marrying in an intimate civil ceremony in London, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner got hitched again on Saturday in a far more extravagant celebration in Sicily, Italy.

The festivities brought a pack of A listers to Palermo, with the likes of Charli XCX, Donatella Versace, and Troye Sivan joining the guest list. Insiders have described the event as “the wedding of the year” and “the most important wedding in Sicily since Michael Corleone’s,” per Vanity Fair.

While we wait for the couple to share photos from wedding 2.0, we managed to gather every morsel of information about the nuptials that we know so far. Keep scrolling for an inside look.

The wedding took place at “little Versailles.”

Vanity Fair reported that Lipa walked down the aisle at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century estate located about 30 minutes outside of Palermo. The palace’s Baroque architecture and opulent interior has earned it the nickname of “little Versailles,” according to the outlet. Today, Villa Valguarnera is the family home of Princess Vittoria Alliata.

They tapped into these wedding trends.

With embroidered signs taking over the 2026 wedding season, Lipa and Turner put their own touch on the romantic trend. Photos posted to Instagram by guests Laura Vandall and Antoine Billore captured the event’s decor, which included a white linen panel embroidered with “Dua & Callum.” The panel served as a curtain for the party’s film photo booth.

There were embroidered touches throughout the ceremony, too. Placed atop every guest’s seat were a small ruffled pouch, which featured red cursive embroidery of Lipa and Turner’s initials, and a white lace-trimmed handkerchief, which was embroidered with the phrase, “Stay mad with me forever.”

And if you thought the age of bows was over, think again. Lipa and Turner tied every ceremony seat with long, grass-grazing ribbons, each tied off into a neat little bow.

Elton John sang.

The iconic singer reportedly flew to Palermo on his private jet just to celebrate the couple’s nuptials. He sang his hit 1970 track “Your Song” with piano accompaniment.

Dua carried an extravagant bouquet.

The Sun reported that Lipa walked down the aisle with a bouquet arranged by a local florist. The bouquet included peonies, hyacinths, and lily-of-the-valley.

They hired a Michelin chef.

For the reception, guests were treated to a meal cooked by Tony Lo Coco, an Italian Michelin-recognized chef who runs the Sicilian restaurant I Pupi, Vanity Fair reported. The menu featured several local specialties like anelletti alla Norma, panelle, crocché, cassate, and cannoli.
