Despite the months and months of build up, Tamara Ecclestone's wedding went by relatively quietly on Tuesday.
But clearly determined to celebrate her nuptials for as long as possible, the socialite was seen marking her new married status with husband Jay Rutland at a beach party on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old heiress showed off her sparkling diamond wedding band as she and Jay mingled with guests on the sands in the south of France.
Introducing Mr and Mrs Rutland! Jay Rutland and new bride Tamara Ecclestone were seen celebrating their marriage at a beach party on Wednesday following their Tuesday nuptials

Making the most of her bridal status, Tamara looked stunning in a floaty cream long-sleeved minidress as she cuddled up to her new spouse in the sunshine.
Jay, who also stuck to the white dress code in a linen shirt and shorts, was also seen proudly showing off his band - a platinum ring with a line of diamonds running through the centre.
The pair wed on Tuesday at the Grand Hotel Saint Jean Cap Ferrat surrounded by over 150 guests, including Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Paris Hilton, Sean Connery, Nicola Roberts, Princess Beatrice and Sarah Ferguson.

It was reported prior to Tamara's big day that father Bernie Ecclestone, who is worth £2.5billion, spent £600,000 on hiring out all 73 rooms in the five-star hotel, which is one of the most luxurious on the Riviera.
The F1 supremo Bernie also blew £3.5million on entertainment, including a 30-minute fireworks display and an Elton John gig.
Lionel Richie, Calvin Harris and Mark Ronson are also believed to have performed.

Stunning: The party took place on the hotel's stunning beach, with guests treated to the best food and drink
While details of the dress have yet to be revealed, Tamara was spotted going to a fitting at fashion house Vera Wang in New York in April. Her sister Petra, 24, wore an £80,000 Vera Wang gown to her own wedding in 2011.
Speaking previously about her wedding hopes, Tamara said: ‘Petra’s wedding was the best I’ve ever been to. I’d like to have one abroad like hers.
‘I wouldn’t know what to do to make it as glamorous! It’ll have to be really bling. My dream is to have Lionel Richie – and All Night Long as the first song. I’m so corny.’
Eat, drink and be merry: While some guests at the party wore shirts and dresses, others just wore swimwear as they marked the nuptials

Petra’s marriage cost more than £12million and was partly funded by her mother Slavica, who divorced Bernie in 2009.
The lavish celebration in the Italian town of Bracciano included acrobats performing beneath hot air balloons, £4,000 bottles of Chateau Petrus claret and concerts by chart-topping band The Black Eyed Peas as well as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Bernie later said: ‘When my youngest daughter said she was getting married I thought as father of the bride I should pay for the wedding.

In her clutches: Tamara and Jay looked the image of newlywed bliss as they cuddled up
‘When it was suggested how much they would be spending on drinks I thought it was absurd. So I managed to upset my daughter and my wife.
‘Only later did I learn that it cost in excess of £12million which I did not find out about until later, paid by my wife, and I did not find out from her.’
The newlyweds will now celebrate their marriage as the three-day party extravaganza continues.
Sisterly love: Tamara was seen getting a huge hug from sister Petra as they celebrated the occasion

Bernie may have more money than most people can dream of, but he hasn't forgotten the value of money.
His daughters Tamara and Petra spend a large amount of cash on their wardrobes, but their father Bernie has said previously that he thinks they should be more frugal with their expenditure.
Speaking to The Independent last year he said: 'I don't think they should have bought handbags and shoes but anyway, they are in the fortunate position of being able to.'
Smoking hot: The pair enjoyed a smoke as they headed down to the shore
Careful! Tamara appeared to trip as she made her way down to the water with Jay
However, on a recent trip to Monte Carlo, Tamara brought five suitcases full of designer clothing. Her personal stylist created a series of ‘lookbooks’ for her, enabling her to choose her daily outfits without having to think too hard about what to wear.
She recently admitted: ‘For about a week before I travel, I’m Googling the weather, then I’m working out what to pack. At the moment I’m really into McQueen, and I’ve got a lot of Alaïa and obviously my Louboutins and Birkins.’
She and Essex born Mr Rutland, who lost his job with Deutsche bank after allegedly selling cocaine to an undercover reporter in 2002, met in January. They got engaged just two months later.
