Inside Charli XCX’s wild wedding party with cheap cocktails and trays of cigarettes

There may have been a social media ban, but insiders have now lifted the lid on what unfolded at Charli XCX’s wild London wedding.

Charli XCX is going all out for her Sicilian wedding later this year, but she kept her first wedding to The 1975 drummer George Daniel far more Brat.

Insiders told The Sun that the pair headed from Hackney Town Hall in London where they tied the knot, to nearby Italian restaurant Dalla, before inviting their 20 guests to join them for a massive night out at trendy new bar Ellie’s in Dalston.

And to get into the party mood, Charli swapped out of her $6,800 Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora mini dress into another white outfit – just in case she spilt a $16 martini down it.

“Charli’s wedding reception was the epitome of Brat,” a source revealed.

“Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla.

“The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family style meal with loads of pasta and champagne.

“People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.

“Charli and Daniel then went to a nearby hotel to get changed before they went to Ellie’s for a party.”

Hip haunt

Ellie’s, which opened back in May, is fast making a name for itself as one of east London’s trendiest haunts.

It specialises in cheap martinis and saw Myles Smith shooting his GQ Magazine cover there earlier this year.

Charli and George arrived hand-in-hand to get the party started, with more guests arriving at the door as the night went on.

“To get in you just had to walk up to the front and say ‘Charli,’” the marital mole explained.

“Once inside Charli and George had laid on a free bar and there were trays of cigarettes lying around for the smokers.

“There was a ‘no social media policy’ so no one posted any of the pictures from the reception online.

“It went on until around 4am when everyone crashed out and went home.”

The Sun first revealed back in 2023 that drummer George had proposed to Charli.

In February last year, our sources revealed the pair had flown to Italy to scout out locations for their big day – and earlier this month one insider told us the pair had plumped for Sicily.

Second ceremony

“This was the formal wedding and the big event is happening in a few months,” a source explained.

“Charli and George had the most perfect day in London. It was everything they wanted it to be, relaxed, informal and fun.

“Their wedding in Sicily is the big one and they can’t wait for everyone to fly out there and be with them.”

Charli opened up about their wedding plans last year and said they were going to throw a massive bash.

She said: “We’re both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party.

“Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.

“We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.”
