No expense was spared on Sunday as Richard E. Grant’s daughter, Olivia, married her long-term partner, Florian Wirst, in a ‘magical’ ceremony at home.
Olivia, a casting associate whose film credits include last year’s record-breaking Barbie, had previously married Herbst in July during an intimate service attended only by her father and the groom’s parents.
Sunday’s event, held in the grounds of Grant’s expansive London residence, allowed the couple’s wider circle of friends and family to celebrate their union.
The bride looked stunning in an elegant white wedding gown designed by British designer Suzanne Neville, while Austrian financier Herbst wore a sharp black tuxedo and bow tie from Hugo Boss.
This celebration comes three years after Grant’s wife of 35 years, and Olivia’s mother, Joan Washington, passed away following a battle with stage four lung cancer.
To make the night unforgettable, the actor enlisted luxury event planner Johnny Roxburgh Designs to arrange an enormous outdoor marquee adorned with fairy lights and immaculately decorated tables featuring floral arrangements.
In addition, international florist, designer, and stylist Nikki Tibbles transformed the grounds of Grant’s large home into a Gardens of Babylon-themed playground.
Guests were treated to an extravagant dinner prepared by Michelin-star chef Skye Gyngell, owner of the modern European restaurant Spring, located at Somerset House in central London.
Photos shared by Grant showed a luxurious four-tier wedding cake and a neon-lit dance floor, where guests danced until the early hours of Monday morning.
Entertainment was provided by pop star Ellie Goulding, who performed an acoustic set for the newlyweds.
Taking to Instagram, Grant wrote: “Magical wedding last night at home, for our daughter & Florian – the sun shone.”
Grant had announced his daughter’s engagement in October, posting four photos of Olivia, Herbst, and her large diamond ring.
He wrote: “Our beloved daughter @oliviagranted got engaged to Florian Herbst this weekend. Pockets full of Happiness!!”
