Her elegant cowl neck silk dress was custom-made by Juliette Hogan while the groom was suave in a Zambesi suit.

Jacinda and Clarke’s daughter Neve also had a special dress for her parents’ big day which was made using material from her grandmother Laurell’s wedding dress.

The bride also gave a nod to her mum through her long veil which was similar to the one Laurell wore when marrying Jacinda’s father Ross, according to MailOnline.

The couple tied the knot at Craggy Range vineyard surrounded by a small group of their nearest and dearest. Their pal and former deputy prime minister Grant Robertson officiated the ceremony.

Jacinda and Clarke had been engaged for five years but had to postpone their original plans of having a wedding in 2022 because of the pandemic.

When Jacinda resigned as prime minister in 2023 she mentioned her hope to finally say I Do in her speech.’ To Clarke, let’s finally get married,’ she emotionally said while stepping down.

Congratulations, Jacinda and Clarke!
