Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are set to tie the knot once again in a grand wedding celebration in Palermo this weekend, following their recent legal ceremony in London. The renowned singer, 30, and actor Callum, 36, exchanged vows at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, opting for a low-key affair. However, their upcoming festivities are rumored to be extravagant, with a reported budget exceeding £1 million.
The couple commenced their wedding festivities in Sicily with a lavish reception in a picturesque Italian piazza. Dua dazzled in an elegant backless gown, complemented by Callum’s stylish beige suit and white shirt. Notably, several A-list guests, including Charli XCX, George Daniel, and Mark Ronson, have begun arriving for the celebration.
Speculations suggest that Sir Elton John, a close friend of Dua, may even perform at the event. The couple’s three-day wedding celebrations kicked off in Palermo, where they attended a stunning wedding cocktail party as guests arrived for the opulent affair. Dua stunned in a backless white fishtail gown reportedly designed by Bottega Veneta.
Callum previously shared the romantic story of how he and Dua first met, recalling a serendipitous moment when they realized they were reading the same book. Their love story, akin to a Hollywood film, unfolded with a deep connection from the start. The primary venue for their main wedding ceremony is the magnificent Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, an 18th-century palace renowned for its Sicilian Baroque architecture and grandeur.
Notably, the estate has a colorful history, having been seized by mafia bosses in the past before being reclaimed by Italian Princess Vittoria Alliata di Villafranca. Dua’s wedding is seen as a positive contribution to the region’s transformation from a former mafia hotspot to a cultural attraction. The guest list for the event includes prominent figures such as Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, and Kevin Parker, with expectations of Tove Lo, Sir Elton John, and Donatella Versace attending as well.
