Inside Britney Spears' wedding – from A-List celebrity guests to gate crasher

Britney Spears threw a lavish party to celebrate her nuptials after she wed Sam Asghari at their luxurious Los Angeles home.

The couple tied the knot on Thursday evening at the $7million property surrounded by an array of their celebrity pals as guests including Madonna and Paris Hilton.

Britney, 40, exchanged vows with her 28-year-old beau after her first husband Jason Alexander attempted to gatecrash and put a stop to proceedings resulting in his arrest.

The chart-topper wore a bespoke Versace wedding dress on the day complete with a traditional veil and a huge flowing train that spread out around her.

The couple erected a marquee in their garden for the ceremony following a pink theme with a flower wall and roses adorning the surfaces, and glamorous chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

The bride wore a natural make-up look for the event created by celebrity makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, complimenting her look with a half-up half-down hairstyle and classic silver heels.

Meanwhile, Sam dressed in a traditional tuxedo with a cream buttonhole as he prepared for the big day alongside his groomsmen.

Celebrity guests on the day included Selena Gomez, Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, and Ansel Elgort, but Britney’s family members and her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline did not attend the ceremony or the lavish afterparty.

The couple were seen beaming as they held hands to exchange vows in front of the flower wall before posing on the balcony of their home which was adorned with pink roses in keeping with the theme to celebrate their vows.

While guests were not treated to a first dance from the pair, the wedding reception did see Britney join forces with chum Paris Hilton to sing a duet of Stars Are Blind and her popular hit Toxic was also played for the attendees.

Britney wore not just one outfit for the lavish affair, but a second plunging red mini dress before kicking off her shoes to dance around in new husband Sam’s Versace tuxedo jacket.

Sam also changed outfit for the reception, opting to swap out his tuxedo for a navy blue suit and a t-shirt printed with the words ‘Britney and Sam.’

Britney also managed to create a stir when she recreated her infamous 2003 VMA’s kiss with Madonna on the dancefloor much to the delight of onlookers.

She was also seen embracing guests Drew and Selena as they made the most of the extensive dancefloor, happily posing for photos together.

Selena was seen cheering the couple on as they embraced in front of the other guests at the reception, who celebrated in the pink marquee with pink disco lights glittering around them as the party wore on.

Britney appeared to be wearing a pair of pink bikini bottoms underneath the tuxedo jacket, with the strings hanging down beneath her hemline.

A report by Vogue revealed that the nuptials were put together by celebrity event planner Jeffrey Best, who claimed Britney and Sam had wanted to share a “small and beautiful moment with their family and friends.”

He said: “We wanted warm and feminine colours including blush, white, cream, and gold, and a lot of various shades of pinks, blush, and reds.”.

The couple splashed out on designer rings for their exchange of vows, with Britney opting for two wedding bands – one diamond and one decorated with marquise stones.

Sam meanwhile chose a more simple brushed metal design.

Britney also wore a stunning collection of diamond-encrusted jewellery – including a necklace, a tennis bracelet, and two pairs of earrings.

Vogue reported that the impressive collection of jewellery all came from celebrity A-List jeweller Stephanie Gottlieb and featured a jaw-dropping total of 62 carats.

The marriage is a third attempt at walking down the aisle for Britney who previously tied the knot with Jason in 2004, before subsequently having the Las Vegas marriage annulled just 55 hours later.

She then wed dancer Kevin Federline later that year, with the couple staying together until 2007 when they parted ways and got divorced with Kevin taking custody of their two sons.

Jason’s attempt at gatecrashing was foiled when he scaled the walls into her property and got into an altercation with her security team.

He live streamed the attempt at throwing the ceremony into choas on instagram before Ventura County Sheriff’s Department arrested and charged him with four misdemeanour offences of trespassing, battery and vandalism.

A police spokesman said: “He was able to find his way onto the property and was confronted by security.

“An altercation occurred with the security officers and that’s where the battery occurred… and during the altercation an item was broken, so that’s where the vandalism comes into play. And by being on private property, the trespass comes into play.”

Both Britney’s sons – Sean Preston, 16, and 15-year-old Jayden James – were notably missing from the bash as well as her sister, Jamie Lynn and parents Jamie and Lynn.

The absence of her close family members didn’t seem to phase the pop star as she made the most of her party alongside her close showbiz friends.
