Reality TV star Binky Felstead has shared a sneak peak of her big day after marrying husband Max Fredrik Darnton for a second time in a stunning wedding on the Greek island of Corfu. The pair tied the knot at the former home of author Lawrence Durrell and his wife Nancy.
The former Made In Chelsea star described the location of the White House at Kalami as a “dream come true” as she used to watch the ITV drama The Durrells starring Keeley Hawes and thought it looked like “heaven”. The 32-year-old and her husband Max had tied the knot last summer in a small, private civil ceremony.
Their second celebration saw them enjoy a week of festivities alongside family and friends including fellow former Made in Chelsea stars Rosie Fortescue, Ollie Locke, Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor. Among the 100 attendees were the couple’s one-year-old son Wolfie and his sister India, five, who Binky shares with her ex-partner Josh Patterson.
Speaking about her special day, Binky told Hello! magazine: “I used to watch The Durrells on TV and I remember saying: ‘I really want to go there – it looks like heaven’. Having it as our wedding venue was a dream come true.”
Binky shared a glimpse of her wedding day with her 1.5M Instagram followers. The bride could be seen wearing a strapless corseted gown with a boho style by Israeli designer Liz Martinez.
“I felt confident and very ‘me’ in it," She said of her dress: "When I first tried it on, I had already got what I thought was The Dress, but I hadn’t felt the feeling I felt with this dress, with any of the others."
Her husband Max said she had looked “absolutely incredible”. He also spoke of how during the dinner, he had shared a speech where he spoke about how he had married two people.
“I said I married Binks but I also married into India’s life," He explained: "As I was saying that, India trotted down and stood next to me. It was the most perfect timing. She gave me a hug and said hello to everyone on the microphone – I think she enjoyed the attention.”
The couple are now going to enjoy a family getaway to the south of France before their daughter India goes back to school in September. “I think it’s important to plan something lovely to do after the wedding to beat those post-wedding blues,” Binky added.
