After the ceremony her and new hubby Casper also left in the classic car.
The singer had seven bridesmaids, including pals Hannah Lowe, Cassandra Gracey (President for Sony Music), and fashion stylist Zoe Jervoise Graham.
The bridesmaids wore white and helped Ellie out of the van and into the church, carrying her long train as she waved to onlookers.

The A-list wedding was attended by the likes of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.
English actress Sienna Miller also looked stunning as she arrived hand-in-hand Lucas Zwirner, 28.
Fellow singer James Blunt was also there with his wife Sofia Wellesley.
The celebration wasn’t short on British royalty either. The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and her two daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice were all there.
Ellie has been good friends with Princess Eugenie for years, with the pair holidaying together in Jordan in 2017.
