Just as dreamy was the bride’s wedding dress, an off-the-shoulder tulle gown that flowed all around her as she greeted the guests for the first time as Mrs Ingham.

She polished off the look with half-pinned up hair and glowy makeup that showed off her radiant post-wedding smile.

The millionaire groom wore a classic fitted black suit with a bowtie to complement his bride’s ethereal dress.

The guests were seen sitting at a reception table inundated by purple flowers, some of which include Aussie comedian Andy Lee and his partner Rebecca Harding, PR founder Montarna Pitt and her husband Nick, as well as jewellery brand owner Charlotte Heinrich.

Racing royalty Gai and Kate Waterhouse were also in attendance, and even international guests made it to the nuptials, such as Vakili’s bridesmaid Isha Ambani, daughter of Mukesh Ambani, the richest person in Asia.

The bride and groom enjoyed their reception, even being hoisted up onto the shoulders of their guests in celebration.

The pair were first linked in 2018, and after a brief split in between, rekindled their romance in 2021.

Tamie wed her celebrity chef husband Guillame Brahimi in a secret French ceremony held on the grounds of the lavish Musée Rodin, followed by a private reception at Maxim’s de Paris, which Ingham and Vakili also attended.
