There are few couples in the world who would have both royalty and The Rolling Stones on their wedding guestlist, but Savannah Murphy and Nico Hochschild were one of them. 

One of the most glittering society weddings of the year saw Savannah, daughter of billionairess Heather Kerzner, marry her sweetheart, Nico, the heir to the Hochschild Mining fortune at the inimitable Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mayfair, London.

It comes as no surprise that the Mayfair wedding had an elite guest list considering mother-of-the-bride Heather has both A-listers and royalty, including Princess Beatrice and Sarah Ferguson, in her private circle from her former marriage to business tycoon and famous hotelier, Sol Kerzner. 

The nuptials saw the couple tie the knot beneath a breathtaking backdrop, with the bride dressed in a beautiful long-sleeved lace wedding gown, complete with a backless design, glittering details and a mesmerising mantilla lace veil. Meanwhile, her husband cut a dapper figure in a slick black suit. 

Later, guests joined the couple at The Dorchester – one of the world's most prestigious hotels – for a spectacular dinner and dance. The bride slipped into a glittering second wedding dress for the evening, complete with a billowing tulle train and square neckline.
