Perrie Edwards has revealed how she 'cried all day' over wedding drama when she married Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in Portugal at the weekend. 

In an interview with Vogue, she revealed she wore three dresses and partied all night with Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne at the star-studded nuptials.

The couple only welcomed, their second child, a daughter Alanis in January and despite the juggle, Perrie said the whole planning process went smoothly, except for one thing which left her crying all day.

Perrie said: 'Alex gave me a diamond necklace after I gave birth to Axel and I wear it every single day, but the day before I came away to Portugal it went missing.'

'I cried all day, we looked everywhere – we even checked the hoover – but it was gone and I was convinced someone had stolen it.

On the morning of the wedding, hairstylist Aaron Carlo was helping her to get ready when a minor miracle occurred.

She said: 'He was sorting through my hair extensions and he said, "Okay, Perrie: what I’m about to show you is your something old, your something new, your everything in one, and you’re going to cry".' 

He had found the precious locket caught up on her hair. 

'I sobbed,' she said. 'I was so happy and so relieved. It set the tone – I knew from that moment it was gonna be the best day ever.' 

Perrie admitted that she and Alex both got emotional when she walked down the aisle, saying: 'We both just cried our eyes out.'

The weekend was held in a picturesque Catholic church in the sleepy village of Estoi and Perrie wore three dresses for the occasion. 

She found her form-skimming Dana Harel design with a pooling train at Browns Bride in London. 

The singer teamed it with a bolero which had trailing lace sleeves, which she was able to remove when it got too hot. 

After the church ceremony, she switched into a crystal embellished floor-length dress by Galia Lahav and Jimmy Choo heels for the first dance.

As the party continued into the night she changed into a custom minidress from bridal fave Annie’s Ibiza with Christian Louboutin heels and a dramatic matching headdress.

She said: 'I wanted to change for the evening so I could dance and be free. It was short and fun and fab and cinched to the heavens with the corset!'

Jesy Nelson did not attend the wedding, but Little Mix bandmates Leigh-Anne and Jade did go. 

Jade had to leave Portugal early due to festival commitments and Perrie and Leigh-Anne gave their all on the dancefloor to En Vogue…remembering all the choreography.

Celtic midfielder Alex and Perrie invited 140 guests including their son Axel, four, baby Alanis and footballers and footballers Mason Mount, Danny Welbeck and Kieran Gibbs.
