She has enjoyed a series of high-profile relationships. 

And now Bar Refaeli seems to have found her happy ever after as she married businessman Adi Ezra in a 'stunning' ceremony in their native Israel on Thursday. 

The 30-year-old stunner, who once dated Leonardo DiCaprio, wed in a Chloe gown before 300 close friends and family members along with some pals from the showbiz world.

Bar walked down as Israeli singer Shlomi Shabbat performed his song The Beginning of the World at the ceremony at the Carmel Forest Spa Resort.

Famous rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman wed the loved-up couple, who became engaged in March.

The stunning model, who was previously married to Arik Weinstein, changed into another Chloe gown for the reception in a giant tent, decorated with purple spotlights and icicle lights for the reception.

A source tells E! News: 'The ceremony was so magical, filled with close friends and family and a few notable names and models. The location was stunning. Bar couldn't be happier!'

The ceremony concluded with Adi, heir to Israeli food importing company Neto ME Holdings, Ltd., stepping on a glass to seal the union as Bruno Mars' Marry Me played.

Bar caused controversy before her nuptials after she and Adi asked Israel's Civil Aviation Authority to shut down the airspace above their wedding.

Citing safety concerns over potentially congested airspace, the authority agreed, meaning only authorised aircraft were allowed to fly but a hot air balloon, a helicopter and several drones were spotted up ahead.

On Wednesday, the stunning star went on an Instagram spree to show off her pre-wedding rituals.   

She took to Instagram to share a snap of her hen party, showing her expertly diving into a pool while wearing a veil with the caption 'Head first'. 

Symbolic of her new life journey, the blonde beauty was certainly keen to submerge herself in the new depths of her future.

Wearing a long-sleeved swimming top, which was emblazoned with tropical flowers, she also sported an orange thong.  

Caught mid-air as she first breaks the surface of the pool, she effortlessly shows off her lithe body. 

Moments later she shared a second shot of herself with gold butterfly stickers on her waistline.

Romantically, she captioned the image with: 'This time tomorrow... I'll be dancing in white'. Liked more than 50,000 times, it also generated a slew of comments.

One said: 'Sooo happy for you !! hope tomorrow will be the happiest day of your life & that Adì is really the one who will make you forever happy!!'.

Recently the fashion model gushed about her March engagement, telling Hello!: 'Obviously I said "yes"! It was very surprising but we were very happy...Everything fits and everything is just right.’

And on her wedding, she gave a couple of sneaky, if not quite accurate, details, saying: 'Very simple: not a lot of people, not in a big place, maybe outdoors, barefoot …’ 

Fans will no doubt be hoping Bar shares a few more details of Thursday' romantic ceremony.
