She gave a sneak peek of the dress as her “something new” on Instagram.

Her “something blue” was her daughter Bluebell, nine, who The Sun revealed will walk her down the aisle.

Formula 1 legend David Coulthard, who arrived at the wedding wearing a kilt, was an usher, while Geri’s bandmate Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl to turn up.

Her other bandmate Victoria Beckham shared a retro photo of them together on Twitter and wrote: “Sending u love and happiness.Im so sad I couldn’t be with you on your special day x I love u x.”

Victoria had to turn down her invite as she is closing Singapore Fashion Week with her collection on Sunday.

Mel B tweeted: “Wishing you the most beautiful special day of your life,I love you xxxx.”

Mel’s daughter Madison was meant to walk Geri down the aisle along with Emma’s children, Beau and Tate.

But she pulled out citing school commitments – despite being in the UK this weekend for work meetings.

Mel C is busy judging on Asia’s Got Talent.

Geri’s wedding will be made even cooler after Red Bull chief Christian, 41, arranged for her to ride around in one of the team’s Formula 1 cars.

A horse drawn carriage has also been spotted and a union jack flag flew over the church in a nod to Geri’s iconic Spice Girls outfit.

Geri, who has been engaged twice before, started dating Christian in January 2014. He popped the question in November.
