Idyllic: The reception took place at Yorkshire stately home Castle Howard, where guests were served Bollinger champagne
Ellie and Caspar only had eyes for each other during the romantic moment, with the handsome groom sweeping his bride off her feet and spinning her around.
Castle Howard is described as one of Britain’s most iconic stately homes and gardens and the Burn singer has been linked to the venue for a number of months, due to Caspar’s strong links with the county.
The blonde beauty reportedly pulled out all the stops for her big day, splashing out £20,000 on flowers alone while Bollinger champagne served to guests.
There was ‘designer vegan’ food for guests to chow down on, before guests partied to a DJ playing 90’s hits including The Spice Girls.

The singer had started off the day wearing a high-necked Victorian style wedding dress by Chloé as she said her vows to Caspar, before changing into a sexy Stella McCartney number, just as Meghan Markle did on her own big day.
The second dress of the day was a long white number which had an off-shoulder design and she posed with holding a glass of champagne, writing: ‘Me and my man.’
The third dress had a beaded detail on the top second and the sexy thigh-high split made for the perfect look for the couple’s first dance as man and wife.
And the fourth number of the day was a short mini which clung to Ellie’s curves as she stood outside her wedding reception venue. It had sheer billowing sleeves and she teamed it with white court shoes.

Dr Sentamu then handed them gifts, including a Ugandan wicker basket filled with treats and a bonsai tree to symbolise that marriages can last for years.
Ellie also invited her favourite composer, Norway’s Ola Gjeilo, to perform at the service, alongside the choir of London’s Royal Holloway University.

It read: ‘Mr C.W.F. Jopling and Miss E.J. Goulding. The engagement is announced between Caspar, son of The Hon Nicholas Jopling of Yorkshire and Mrs Jayne Warde-Aldam of Yorkshire, and Elena, daughter of Mr Arthur Goulding of Hertfordshire and Mrs Tracey Sumner of West Midlands.’
The couple has been dating since March 2017, after reportedly being introduced through mutual friends, which is rumoured to have been Princess Eugenie.
He was said to be working as an art dealer at Sotheby’s New York when he met Ellie, but the couple moved back to the UK in preparation for married life.
