When the groom is the co-founder of a hip magazine brand and supermodel Kate Moss is a former girlfriend, you just know his wedding will be a ridiculously stylish and star-studded affair.
Sure enough, Jefferson Hack and Anna Cleveland’s lavish nuptials in Windsor exceeded all expectations.
From the achingly cool guest list, which was made up almost entirely of fashion royalty, to the stunning riverside location, the elegant event – which took place on 15 July – was– masterclass in how to get married in style.
The loved-up couple, who fell for each other four years ago after initially meeting in 2016 at the Los Angeles launch of Jefferson’s book We Can’t Do This Alone, had put so much thought and consideration into every single detail.
The result was a flawless, picture-perfect day that will no doubt inspire countless other weddings.
American model Anna, 34, looked breathtaking in an exquisite boat-neck, backless lace creation complete with a long train and matching veil.

Not even the presence of her new husband’s ex, catwalk queen Kate Moss, could upstage the bride.
Kate, who was there with her current partner, Nikolai von Bismarck, 36, proved that she’s remained extremely close to 52-year-old Jefferson, who she shares daughter Lila with.
The blonde model, 49, looked half her age in a green, beaded floor-length dress, paired with a green velvet coat, while Lila looked lovely in sunny yellow. She was accompanied by her long-term boyfriend Yoni Helbitz.

Lila described Anna as the “perfect bride” afterwards.
There was a lovely story behind the bride’s choice of dress, which had been designed by Lavinia Biagiotti – the third-generation Italian designer once babysat for Anna while her mum Pat modelled for Lavinia’s mother, Laura.
Anna, who accessorised with heels by Roger Vivier, said of the dress designer, “I knew Lavinia would understand who I truly am. That was what was important for me.”

The bride completed the look with a stunning Serpenti necklace from the Italian luxury brand Bvlgari. Talking about the meaning behind it, she said, “The snake is a symbol of endless metamorphosis, which in this case was perfect to represent this new evolution in my life towards a future full of changes – and new beginnings!”
Jefferson, co-founder of Dazed Media, looked super chic for the ceremony in a double-breasted, baby blue two-piece suit.

The groom’s suit, along with the outfit he wore for the reception, was designed by good friend Kim Jones. Jefferson said, “Kim and I have been friends since the early noughties, when he first started his own label. He’s now the greatest menswear designer of his generation, so it was a real honour to have him and the house of Dior make two custom looks for me.”

Jefferson’s daughter Lila also had two different outfits for the special occasion. For the ceremony, which took place at the St James the Less church in Dorney (picked out by the couple because of its “romantic and intimate” feel), she wore a beautiful purple bias-cut maxi dress.
Later on, as the reception got under way at Oakley Court, a Gothic pile in Windsor, Lila opted for a stunning yellow floaty dress, which she accessorised with black heels and a black Chanel handbag.

Also in attendance at the wedding were famous faces including Sadie Frost, Tilda Swinton, Bobby Gillespie, Bella Freud, Björk, Erin O’Connor, Pam Hogg and Daphne Guinness.
On arrival at the reception, guests were treated to a new non-alcoholic champagne called Love Conquers All, which has recently been launched by the newlyweds’ “dear friend” Waris Ahluwalia. Given that neither Anna nor Jefferson drink alcohol, this proved to be the perfect fizz to toast the happy couple.

And on picking Oakley Court for the reception, Jefferson said, “It’s an extremely bucolic part of the River Thames, with gorgeous grounds, and the main house has charming Gothic architecture, which gave the wedding a fairy-tale, whimsical atmosphere.”
Guests were taken to beautifully decorated bell tents in the grounds of the estate where they were treated to a vegan and gluten-free feast made by chefs Johnnie Collins and Mateo Zielonka. The happy couple then changed into their evening outfits before cutting the wedding cake, which was created by Marc Quinn and described as an “edible sculpture” inspired by the bride and groom’s thumbprints.

Anna shimmering evening gown had also been designed by Laura Biagiotti.
Describing her dress, Anna said, “I love the way the dress moves and shines – it felt like a magical choice for a glittering day.”

Providing the music were hip London DJ’s such as Louie Banks, Josh Quinton, Princess Julia and Jodie Harsh, and guests danced the night away to club classics before devouring vegan cheese toasties as a late-night snack.
Talk about ending the night in style.
