Denise Welch, 68, has shared details and a glimpse of her outfit from her son Matty Healy's wedding to model Gabbriette Bechtel. The ceremony took place on Saturday in a glamorous Hollywood setting.
Welch, known for her role on "Loose Women," posted a picture of her mother-of-the-groom dress on Instagram. She described the occasion as "the happiest time of my life." The outfit in question was an off-the-shoulder satin gown in a dusty pink hue, featuring dramatic puff sleeves and complemented by silver jewelry. The British actress had her hair and makeup done for the event by stylist Ryan Kay.
The wedding ceremony was attended by numerous celebrities, including Charli XCX, Emily Ratajkowski, Alex Consani, and members of Healy's band, The 1975. The venue was Castillo del Lago, a property formerly owned by Madonna. Sources reported that the couple exchanged vows under the Hollywood sign as the sun set. The bride, Bechtel, wore a voluminous white dress with a sweetheart neckline, sculpted bodice, and ruffled long sleeves, paired with a sheer veil. Healy, 37, wore a custom Paul Smith suit.
The reception also took place at the estate, where Healy reportedly performed a set with The 1975. A representative for the couple confirmed their marriage in Los Angeles, stating it was a private ceremony attended by family and close friends.
Bechtel, 28, who was previously the lead vocalist for the punk-pop band Nasty Cherry, is also a model and social media influencer. The couple has been linked since September 2023 and announced their engagement in 2024 after a nine-month romance. Healy's parents, actors Denise Welch and Tim Healy, reportedly flew to the U.S. last week to assist with final preparations for the wedding.
Healy's mother, Welch, expressed her happiness with the match, stating Bechtel is "everything I would want in a daughter-in-law." She also mentioned that Healy had a custom black diamond ring made for Bechtel. The couple's relationship began shortly after Healy's brief relationship with Taylor Swift in 2023. Notably, Swift recently married Travis Kelce just two weeks prior to Healy's wedding.
