No high society nuptials will pass muster with the social set if there isn't a full weekend of partying, and guests at Lady Kitty's Spencer's wedding to fashion tycoon Michael Lewis were treated to another day of festivities in Rome yesterday to round off the celebrations.
Glamorous attendees including Lady Emma Weymouth, singer Pixie Lott, designer Jade Holland Cooper and her husband Superdry founder Julian Dunkerton were spotted donning their finery - much of it by Dolce & Gabbana, of course - for a post-wedding lunch at Villa Aurelia where they toasted the newlyweds Kitty, 30, and Michael, 62, again with a backdrop of panoramic views of Rome.
The £20,000-a-day 17th century Roman villa is a popular spot with high society brides, with designer Misha Nonoo and oil heir Mikey Hess tying the knot there in September 2019, with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie in attendance.
After dining in the garden of the baroque villa and vineyard once owned Pope Paolo III that sits on one of Rome's seven hills and enjoys extraordinary panoramic views of the Eternal City, Kitty and Michael's guests danced to Italian music from the 1950s, played by a live orchestra.

On her big day on Saturday, Lady Kitty, daughter of Earl Spencer and his first wife Victoria Lockwood, dazzled in a series of gowns all made for her by fashion house, while the Italian duo also dressed many of her glamorous attendees.
Kitty was escorted at the ceremony, held in the gardens of the Villa Aldobrandini – a stunning mansion in Frascati, near Rome – by her brother Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and half-brother Samuel Aitken, whose father is businessman Jonathan Aitken. However there was also no sign at the festivities, which spanned several days, of her father, nor Kitty's cousins Princes William or Harry, whose weddings in 2011 and 2018 she attended.
Kitty is believed to have left the villa around 12.30 today to enjoy lunch with her mother and sisters. Guests including Pixie Lott and her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire, were spotted leaving the Eden Hotel - which is part of the Dorchester group - to head to Villa Aurelia for a celebratory lunch.
Also understood to have been present were the groom's three grown-up children from his marriage to ex-wife Leola.
After the ceremony, the couple treated guests to a sumptuous dinner and dancing, before they took to the balcony to watch an incredible fireworks display.

Throughout the week, several friends shared social media posts hinting that her nuptials were imminent. Dutch fashion model Marpessa Hennink posted a selfie with Kitty with the words: 'Team Bride. It's happening finally.'
Prince William, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, did not attend the event in Italy amid the ongoing Covid-19 crisis in the UK and the US.
Lady Kitty has never publicly spoken about her husband, who she was first seen kissing in August 2019 after leaving Club 55 in St Tropez.
Previously speaking to the summer issue of Town & Country, the model cousin of Princes William and Harry said: 'It's not that I don't place an importance on love. It's because, for me, love is the most important thing in the world, and I will protect it with all my heart by not making it a topic of discussion.
'You open yourself up to other people having opinions, and it just isn't relevant to anybody's life but mine and my family's.
Despite staying tight-lipped on her beau, Kitty added: 'I just look forward to a really happy home life: a happy marriage and happy children. And I feel very at peace that things play out the way they should.'
Kitty's husband Michael has three adult children and was previously married to a woman named Leola in 1985.

Ooze romance like Viscountess Emma Weymouth in Dolce & Gabbana
The glamour continues at Lady Kitty Spencer’s wedding celebrations, and Viscountess Emma Weymouth was seen donning yet another showstopping dress designed by Dolce & Gabbana.
This number comes doused in the fashion house’s signature elaborate florals, which shows up effectively, thanks to the deft pleats. It’s cut to a strapless silhouette with a fitted bodice and nipped in waist, and falls into a flared billowy hem that swished and swayed with every move.
She wore her hair scraped back, giving the voluminous design all the attention it deserved, before accessorising with cat eye sunglasses and a top handle bag to continue the ladylike elegance.
While this dress is not available to shop, we’ve selected an array of ravishing alternative styles that you can shop using the carousel below. They include Zimmermann at 24S, Monique Lhuillier at NET-A-PORTER, Coast and Lipsy at Next.
