On Saturday 31 August, Goulding married art dealer Caspar Jopling in a lavish ceremony at York Minster, which was attended by a plethora of famous faces.
As the singer emerged from a blue camper van outside the cathedral, she provided fans with a first glimpse of her bespoke, Victorian-inspired Chloé wedding dress.
In an interview with British Vogue conducted prior to her wedding, Goulding stated that her Chloé gown was just one of several outfits that she planned on wearing during the celebrations.
The "Starry Eyed" singer said that she had a "special Stella McCartney dress" prepared for the wedding reception at Castle Howard, which she shared a photograph of on her Instagram Story on Monday evening.
The white, silk cady full-length Stella McCartney gown worn by Goulding at the reception featured an off-shoulder neckline and a high-thigh split.
In the picture shared on the Delirium singer's Instagram Story, she stands next to her new husband Jopling outside the stately home of Castle Howard, holding a silver champagne flute.
Goulding isn't the only high-profile celebrity to have recently worn Stella McCartney to their wedding reception.
On 19 May 2018, the Duchess of Sussex wore a halterneck design by the British fashion designer as she and the Duke of Sussex made their way to their evening wedding reception at Frogmore House.
In June 2018, Stella McCartney revealed that replicas of the duchess' dress had been made available to purchase for a limited time.
In addition to her Chloé and Stella McCartney dresses, Goulding told British Vogue that she also planned on wearing ensembles by Ralph & Russo and Balmain during her wedding festivities.
"Ralph & Russo have collaborated on my favourite piece from their AW19 collection – it's a bodice of pearls and silk, which I will be wearing with an evening skirt, before switching into a pair of classic white tailored trousers for the reception," the artist said.
