When you’re the daughter of the man behind Inditex, the fashion conglomerate that includes Zara in its portfolio, you don’t skimp on your wedding looks. (Yes, plural.) Billionaire-ess Marta Ortega, who wed her love Carlos Torretta at her family home in Spain Friday, had not one, not two, but four different outfits to celebrate her wedding weekend.

The fashionista, who serves as the senior creative consultant for Zara Women, showed off a wide swath of looks for her big weekend, kicking the festivities off in a pale pink custom Valentino Haute Couture gown by Pierpaolo Piccioli. The stunning gown featured a high neckline, pleated bodice and column skirt, with billowy sleeves to boot. Ortego completed the look with a delicate flower crown, veil and a bouquet of wildflowers.

That evening, the couple hosted a cocktail party at the Royal Yacht Club in La Coruña, where Ortega switched up her look with an edgier look, a tuxedo-inspired suit with a sheer front that she paired with a bold red lip and statement earrings.

On Saturday, Ortega and Torretta kept the party going with an evening reception at Casas Novas Equestrian Center that included a guest list with the likes of Jessica Springsteen, Athina Onassis, Chris Martin, Norah Jones and more (in all, there were more than 400 guests in attendance).

Ortega started out the night in a shimmering, backless dress for her first dance with Torretta, set to Coldplay’s “Yellow.”

Later, however, she changed into her fourth and final outfit for the weekend: a frothy pink gown that she donned as she danced into the early morning, with a top not unlike an oversized pink bow. Other standout moments from the night included performances by Jones and Jamie Cullum, who were also in attendance.

Marta. Wedding Party. 4am. “En la noche del huerto seis gitanas vestidas de blanco bailan. En la noche del huerto, coronadas con rosas de papel y biznagas. En la noche del huerto sus dientes de nácar, escriben la sombra quemada. Y en la noche del huerto sus sombras se alargan, y llegan hasta el cielo moradas.” Danza, Federico García Lorca @marta_o_p
