What do celebrities like Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz want for their wedding? The young couple asked their guests for donations for Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine occupies the whole world. The Ukrainian victims were also commemorated at the elaborately planned wedding of the eldest son of Beckham and the daughter of a billionaire, Nicola Peltz.
The two tied the knot on a $103 million property belonging to the father of the bride in Palm Beach. But the newly married couple’s thoughts are also in the war zone in distant Ukraine. “We are devastated by what is going on,” the couple said. Their wedding cost 3.5 million euros, but they gave up gifts.
Peltz and Beckham asked their guests to donate to Ukraine rather than expensive gifts. The donations are said to have benefited the charity Care International. The bride’s father is said to have talked about the war at the wedding, said the newlywed Peltz in an Instagram story. The couple also shared the link for further donations on Instagram with the comment: “Everything helps”.

At the wedding itself, on the other hand, nothing was lacking. Ten-year-old Harper Beckham was among the flower girls, and the bridesmaids wore dresses by tailor Joel Diaz. The groom wore a Dior suit and as a gift for her new husband, Nicola sewed a bespoke tag into his outfit. Nicola Peltz’s dress was designed by designer Valentino.
After the ceremony, guests including tennis legend Serena Williams, TV chef Gordon Ramsay and ‘Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria enjoyed cocktails adorned with white cherry blossoms while a jazz quartet played, Vogue reported.
The groom’s parents, Victoria and David Beckham, also donated around £1million to Ukraine a month ago, a source told MailOnline. On top of that, the 46-year-old retired footballer started an emergency call for Unicef through 7 funds to support affected children in the war-torn country.
