Harry Styles planned two weddings for family reasons

Reports so far suggest the couple have considered a lavish wedding in Paris or on the French Riviera, but insiders now told us they were leaning towards a smaller winter ceremony in Britain around Christmas, followed by a second gathering in New York due to Zoë’s close ties to the city through her rocker father Lenny Kravitz.

A source familiar with the couple’s wedding plans told us: “Harry is apparently very determined to avoid the kind of big, over-produced celebrity wedding that becomes more of a media circus than a truly personal moment.

“The conversations taking place now would focus on creating something much more emotional, subdued and family-oriented, especially in Britain, where many of Harry’s closest relatives and oldest friends are based. He reportedly likes the idea of ​​a cozy winter ceremony with a smaller guest list, with the focus on the people closest to them rather than endless Hollywood attention.

“But Zoe’s connection to New York runs incredibly deep because of her upbringing, her family and her social circle there, so she is just as passionate about engaging that side of her life in a meaningful way. People around them say there is increasing talk of splitting things into two separate celebrations – one rooted in Harry’s British background and another in New York that feels more connected to Zoe’s world.

“The feeling is that neither wants the other to compromise too much, so having two ceremonies is starting to seem like the perfect middle ground, keeping both families emotionally involved and avoiding hurt feelings on both sides.”
