A lavish ceremony in the quintessential romantic getaway – Venice
The wedding took place at the historic Palazzo Pisani Moretta in Venice, Italy. The 15th-century venue overlooks the Grand Canal and features distinctive flowery Gothic style architecture with Venetian influences. According to W Magazine, guests arrived “Bond-style” via water taxi to get to the prestigious property.
People magazine reported that after the ceremony, the newlyweds enjoyed an alfresco Sunday brunch at The St. Regis Venice.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s “unconventional” Dior dress
The bride went for a non-traditional gown, opting for a nude, almost fawn, colour over white. She looked to Dior for her custom tiered piece, made with a corseted bodice and princess-style skirt, as per W, then completed the ensemble with a long white veil which can be seen trailing behind her in photos.

The 1920s glamour dress code
If there’s one thing Anya Taylor-Joy seems to favour when it comes to choosing her acting roles, it’s a love of period pieces and historical films (Last Night in Soho, The Witch, Emma).
And it seems she might have incorporated her passion for historical fashion into her wedding dress code too. According to W Magazine, guests arriving at the Peaky Blinders star’s event seemed to wear pieces that echoed the glitz and glamour of the 1920s, from the flapper-like fringe on Julia Garner’s velvet dress, to Keleigh Sperry’s blue-feathered look. It’s also been reported that the palace was used as a reception after the ceremony, and guests wore masquerade-style masks.

So, who’s the lucky man that captured 27-year-old Anya Taylor-Joy’s heart?
Although he’s not as recognisable as his actress wife, Malcolm McRae is also in the entertainment business. McRae is a member of a two-person rock band called More*, in which the 29-year-old musician from Alabama plays the guitar, piano and sings.
Taylor-Joy has opened up about her lover in interviews too. “I’ve finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me reading,” she told British Vogue in 2022. “We’re basically 80 years old and seven at the same time, and it works really well.” According to People, they’ve been dating since April 2021, and share a cat together.
