Andy Carroll and bride Billi Mucklow host Coachella-style wedding party

Billi Mucklow was in great spirits on Monday as she and her new husband Andy Carroll hosted a Coachella-themed wedding celebration, following on from their romantic nuptials the previous day.

The couple had earlier tied the knot at the Four Seasons in Hampshire on Sunday – just days after the sportsman’s raucous antics in Dubai left the future of their relationship clouded in uncertainty. 

New bride Billi swapped her flowing wedding gown for a white feathered mini dress and silver cowboy boots as she let her hair down and danced with her husband for the second day of their wedding festivities at a festival style bash dubbed ‘Carroll Chella’.

The former TOWIE star, 34, showcased her toned pins in the thigh-skimming mini, which she wore with a white denim jacket with pearl detailing.

Billi teamed her chilled out look with dark sunglasses and a gold watch, while her blonde locks were tied into a chic ponytail.

The newlywed looked in great spirits as she shared a dance with her new husband in videos shared on her pal Cara’s Instagram.

The footballer had ditched his smart black suit for a loose-fitting black and white patterned shirt and matching shorts, which he teamed with a wide-brimmed black hat.

Elsewhere, Billi beamed for a snap with sister Giorgie, while she was seen chatting away in a video featured on husband Andy’s Instagram stories.

The clips sees guests mingling outside while an acoustic band played on stage, with the grounds scattered with picnic tables.

The venue saw giant floral letters reading ‘Carroll Chella’, while a tent adorned with balloons hosted a bar and food area.

There was also a gold shimmering backdrop decorated with feathers and balloons, which no doubt made the perfect place for wedding selfies. 

On Monday, Andy shared the first image of the newly married couple as man and wife on Instagram, confirming he was out of the dog house – if indeed he was ever in it – by holding former TOWIE cast-member Billi in a passionate embrace. 

And Billi shared her own photo of the happy couple on Monday, with Andy commenting underneath: ‘Love of my life’.

The bride wore a classic white lace bridal gown and train, while the groom opted for an appropriately smart black dress suit, crisp white shirt and tie as they shared a kiss in front of a stunning floral backdrop. 

Moments earlier there was a ripple of knowing laughter as the registrar asked guests well aware of Andy’s recent Dubai fiasco if there were any objections to the marriage. 

Andy reportedly made guests laugh ahead of his nuptials when he announced he felt sick, while Billi kept him waiting as she walked down the aisle 20 minutes late at their Hampshire wedding on Sunday.

The couple tied the knot at 3:00pm at Hampshire’s Four Seasons Hotel after a tumultuous build-up which saw drama erupt when photos emerged of the sportsman passed out in bed with two women during his Dubai stag-do.

And the West Brom footballer, 33, appeared to be suffering from some last-minute nerves before tying the knot at the luxury five-star hotel as his friend jokingly offered him a Diazepam tablet for anxiety, according to The Sun.

A source told The Sun: ‘They were emotional when they saw each other, but the atmosphere totally changed when the registrar asked if anyone present knew why they should not be married.

‘Everyone started laughing really loud and Billi and Andy joined in. It broke the ice in what’s been a hard build up to the wedding for Billi. It changed the tone and when they were announced man and wife, the cheers were deafening.’ 

On Monday, the newlyweds were seen having their first dance as man and wife in a new loved-up clip.

Former reality star Billi and her footballer husband slow danced as a live singer serenaded the newlyweds in the romantic video shared to Cara Kilbey’s Instagram Stories on Monday.

He planted a sweet kiss on his new bride’s cheek, who wore a classic white lace bridal gown and train, while the groom opted for an appropriately smart black dress suit, crisp white shirt and tie.

She gave her followers a further insight into the wedding by filming the lavish reception at Hampshire’s five-star Four Seasons Hotel.

The room was shown to be covered in pink lights, with the tables decorated with trees full of multicoloured roses and a neon sign with ‘The Carrolls’ mounted on the wall.

Earlier that day guests ensured Billi’s dress was hidden from view by shielding her with umbrellas as she made her way inside the luxurious venue ahead of exchanging vows with her long-term partner. 

In pictures from their happy day, the newlyweds were spotted as wedding guests prepared to continue the celebrations at the reception.   

The bridesmaids, carrying pristine white bouquets, looked stunning in matching baby pink dresses, which boasted frills and a flattering V-neckline.

Other guests remained with this colour theme, as two sported fuchsia headpieces and had splashes of pink in their finery. 

The bride and groom chose a traditional all-white theme for their lavish wedding ceremony at the five star hotel – and exchanged vows surrounded by displays of white roses during the ceremony, which took place in a spectacular 16th century walled garden. 

Even the persistent drizzle didn’t put a dampener on the occasion after organisers hastily put up a white gazebo to keep all the guests dry during the ceremony. The ceremony began with live music as a singer paid a romantic tribute to the couple.

Billi, 34, and Andy, 33, then exchanged wedding vows in the intimate setting.

Family: Among the guests were the couple’s three children Arlo, six, Wolf, four, and 21-month old daughter Marvel Mae, along with Carroll’s daughter Emilie Rose, 12, and Lucas, 11, from a previous relationship

Rows and rows of bottles of £100 champagne were discreetly lined up on trestle tables behind a tall hedge as cheers rang out from the congregation when the happy couple were declared man and wife.

Just days ago it seemed touch and go as to whether the long-planned event would take place after the former England striker ended up in bed with two blondes following a 17-hour drinking session during his stag-do in Dubai.

Former TOWIE  star Bill fled from the couple’s home and took refuge at her parents’ house and removed her £200,000 engagement ring in the run up to the big day.

Among the guests were the couple’s three children Arlo, six, Wolf, four, and 21-month old daughter Marvel Mae, along with Carroll’s daughter Emilie Rose, 12, and Lucas, 11, from a previous relationship.

Emilie Rose served as one of Billi’s bridesmaids for the occasion.

The hotel, set in 500 acres of rolling countryside, provided a quintessentially British location for the event which coincided with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration.

The property was once owned by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon stayed there when she first arrived in Britain from Spain in 1501.

The hotel has 133 rooms which start at around £600-a-night while the top rated Royal suite costs a whopping £6,000. 

It comes after Andy reportedly banned his groomsmen from making ‘three-in-a-bed’ jokes at his wedding to Billi after his stag-do antics.

She was said to be ‘struggling’ over their impending wedding day after Andy was pictured asleep next to a blonde barmaid, and it was revealed he had also slept beside a second woman on his stag-do.

‘Andy has warned his groomsmen that there are to be no jokes about Dubai, let alone any talk of the stag at the wedding,’ a source told The Sun.

‘Billi is still quietly fuming about everything that went on and she’s warned Andy that he should do everything not to ruin their big day.’

MailOnline revealed last week that Billi branded her fiancé ‘an idiot’ after he was pictured in bed with bar manager Taylor Jane Wilkney during his stag do.

The couple had announced their engagement in November 2014, after Andy popped the question during a romantic mini-break in Rome, Italy.
