However one look wasn't enough for the X Factor winner, who had two outfit changes throughout the day as she switched into a beaded blush dress for the reception.

As they dinner rolled into the evening celebration, Leona later changed into a  crystal-embellished jumpsuit for the 'big' party she had been promising.

Leona and Dennis' guests included her Sugababes star pal Keisha Buchanan and The Voice UK winner Jermaine Jackman, who performed during the wedding. 

Ahead of the wedding a source close to the star told the Sun: 'Leona is madly in love with Dennis and they are both so excited to get hitched this weekend.

'They have flown their nearest and dearest out to Italy for the ceremony and no expense has been spared.'

Continuing, the source added: 'Because they live in the States, their friends and family don't all get to meet up much, so it's going to be a really special day.' 

The loved-up duo first began dating in 2010 when Dennis worked as a backing dancer on her tour, and Dennis popped the question in August, last year.

Taking to Instagram at the time, Leona flashed an eye-catching diamond ring to announce the good news during their romantic holiday to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Notoriously private, Leona has kept her personal life out of the spotlight but previously discussed her hopes to settle down in 2013.

Speaking to the Metro, she said: 'Things with Dennis are going really good. We haven't talked about marriage yet. It is something I want to do at some point. I did want to get married in my 20s.

'That was always a weird thing for me. I was always like, 'I am going to get married in my 20s!' But now I'm like 'No, no, no. I'm not ready!'

Continuing: 'I feel like you think you are going to be ready but then you get to your late 20s and you're not ready.' 

In December, Leona marked the end of her single days by organising a hen party which saw her take 12 of her girlfriends to a performance of 'Briefs: Close Encounters' at Spiegeltent in London's Leicester Square. 

At the time, sources said the singer had a 'great time' at the event, with many of her friends left 'squealing' as the men stripped down to their 'tiny pants'. 

An insider said of the celebration: 'Leona was having a great time. The group were whooping and cheering the boys on as they stripped down to tiny pants. One of the cheekier performers ended up going fully commando for a few seconds, which got some squeals from the girls.' 

The 'Better In Time' singer took to social media to confirm her engagement, admitting at the time she she 'can't believe' she's about to be someone's 'wife', though she's looking forward to a 'new adventure'. 

She wrote: 'My heart is singing the happiest song it's ever sung! 'I'm bursting with joy and overcome with emotion that I get to embark on this new adventure with my best friend, my partner in crime, my ride or die! @dennisjauch I can't wait to be your wife. eeeek wife! What?! 

'Argh! Hahahahaha I still can't believe it [bride emoji] I dreamed you up and you came true. 'The most caring, kindhearted and inspiring person I've had the privilege to know.now lets go have a big ol' partyyyyyyyy (sic)'
