After posing up a storm in her slip-on dress, a clip of Melanie being walked down the aisle, as well as her exchanging vows was shared.
And the Sweat songstress looked amazing as she took pictures with her new husband, as well as with her Spice Girl bandmates Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell.
The bride then changed into another custom Adidas outfit for the evening to party the night away.
“I knew immediately it was the right thing to do,” she told British Vogue when she opened up about their proposal.

“When you’re my age you’re like… I actually want to experience all the things.”
The lavish venue is owned by West End performer Ben Forster, who has been close friends with Mel since they co-starred in the 2013 production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Though one face that was noticeably absent from the rural 19th-century estate this weekend was that of Posh Spice, who was at the World Cup Final with husband David in New York.
And Melanie has since broken her silence on her incredible day, explaining how Victoria helped out despite missing her big day.
However, the Wannabe singer-turned-fashion-designer still played a key part in Mel’s wedding traditions – providing her wedding dress as Mel’s “something borrowed”.
The chic gown, which oozed elegance and featured a swooping backline, was plucked straight from Posh’s collection of her own Victoria Beckham gowns in her wardrobe.
Melanie told Vogue: “Victoria’s dress was my something borrowed.
“It was very special, having her there.”
She added: “I’m not really a girly girl.
“Victoria’s clothes are really feminine in a way that feels comfortable and very me”.
Victoria then told the publication of the chain of events and added: “When I asked what she was wearing, she mentioned she had actually ordered one of my dresses but that it didn’t quite fit, and she didn’t have time to get it altered before leaving”.
She found the same dress in her wardrobe and lent it to Mel.
A source also told the Mail of the frock: “It was a gift from Victoria, they are really close.
“Victoria would have loved to have been there if she could.”
The pair got engaged back in 2022 after meeting on dating app Raya.
Melanie was previously in a relationship with Thomas Starr and they share a daughter together.
