It might have been her second marriage, but it was her first real wedding.
So Gwyneth Paltrow, 46, went all out with a fairytale ceremony as she married her second husband Brad Falcuk, 47.
The actress shared on Goop the first photo of her nuptials, which took place at their home in The Hamptons on September 29.
Showing Gwyneth in her beautiful backless cap-sleeved lace Valentino couture dress with a fitted bodice, the picture was of the newlyweds, as they were showered in confetti after the ceremony.
DailyMailTV was the first to report that Gwyneth wore Valentino for her big day.

A dotted cathedral length veil cascaded down Gwyneth’s back, while her blonde hair was worn in soft beachy waves.
Her daughter Apple and stepdaughter Isabella wore simple floor-length white Monique Lhuillier gowns, while the groom and groomsmen – her son Moses and stepson Brody – wore Tom Ford suits.
Sharing the image to Instagram, Gwyneth wrote: ‘Took me a minute to get it together, but at long last, for those who have requested, a little look inside the best day of our lives.’
Revealing a further 46 pictures of her big day to her lifestyle magazine Goop, Gwyneth talked fans through her nuptials, which took place in front of just 70 carefully chosen guests.
The party started the night before with a rehearsal dinner, held alfresco on wooden tables, set family style, under a canopy of bistro lights.
The carefully curated theme was ‘wild’, with the bare tables carrying extravagant floral displays using figs, blackberries and plums, created by Michael and Darroch Putnam of Putnam & Putnam.

Among other dishes, guests dined on 12-hour grilled pineapples, rib eye steak and salt-crusted wild salmon by Argentine chef Francis Mallmann, who flew 5,000 miles from Santiago, Chile.
For the main event, guests started the day catching up by the pool, while makeup artist Gucci Westman and hairstylist Orlando Pita helped Gwyneth get ready.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom were showered in a confetti of leaves and flowers, by their delighted guests.
They then indulged in dirty martinis, before sitting down to a meal by chef Mario Carbone under open canopies.
The guests dined on Dungeness crab and avocado, followed by scampi, then a main course of prime rib or honey mustard duckling with fall vegetables. They finished the meal with a choice of either carrot cake (Gwyneth’s choice) or chocolate and vanilla cake (Brad’s preference).
The small guest list was compiled of school friends of both the bride and groom, a select few celebrity chums and family, including Gwyneth’s actress mother Blythe Danner, and the couple’s four children.
Gwyneth’s long-term BFF Cameron Diaz, her husband Benji Madden, Jerry Seinfeld, Rob Lowe and Gwyneth’s Avengers co-star Robert Downey Jr all made the cut. Indeed in one image Gwyneth, wrapped warmly in a woolen shawl, is seen laughing in delighted surprise as Downey toasts the couple during his speech, the smiling guests drinking glasses of Ruinart rose champagne.

After dinner Gwyneth changed into a short flirty white jumpsuit by Stella McCartney, also the choice of royal bride Meghan Markle for her reception gown. They then ended the night with a disco, dancing to ’80s party jams.
The details about Gwyneth and Brad’s intimate wedding were revealed just as the lifestyle guru opened up about staring menopause before the age of 50.
Appearing in a video for lifestyle company Goop, which has just started selling a range of supplements to help menopausal women, Gwyneth confessed that she has been suffering with severe mood swings that make her ‘suddenly furious for no reason’.
The Oscar-winning actress added that she had begun to notice big changes to her body and mind since entering perimenopause, including sweating and hormonal changes.
‘When you get into perimenopause you notice a lot of changes,’ she explained in the video. ‘I can feel hormonal shifts happening, the moods, you’re all of a sudden furious for no reason.’
Gwyneth also added that society needs to shift the way it thinks about the milestone time in a woman’s life, insisting that it should not only be associated with negativity and upset.
‘Menopause gets a really bad rap and needs a bit of rebranding,’ she said.

‘I remember when my mother went through menopause and it was such a big deal and I think there was grief around it for her and all these emotions.

‘I don’t think we have in society a great example of an aspirational menopausal woman.’
Perimenopause, also known as menopause transition, begins several years before menopause. During that time, the ovaries gradually make less oestrogen until it stops releasing eggs entirely.
Gwyneth explained in the clip that while she was not yet in menopause, she was experiencing a ‘perceptible shift in hormones’, alongside increased sweating and mood swings.
However, that hasn’t stopped her from living life to the full – particularly after she met and fell in love with now-husband Brad.
The Oscar-winning actress and the Assassination Of Gianni Versace producer have been together for four years but were engaged for one year before they wed.
Gwyneth was previously married for ten years to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, with whom she co-parents her two children.
The marriage is also a second one for Brad, who was previously wed to television producer Suzanne Bukinik Falchuk, the mother of his two children.
