She tied the knot with her long-term love Erwin Bach at a private ceremony in Switzerland over the weekend.
And now Tina Turner has opened up about the wedding, for which she wore a green and black silk Armani gown with Swarovski crystals.
Describing marriage as 'a wonderful place to be', the 73-year-old music icon admitted that she wanted to put her own stamp on a traditional American ceremony.

Got a big event? Take inspiration from an icon
There's nobody better to emulate if you want to go glam than the legend that is Tina Turner. She is all about the shimmy and the shine and with this wedding dress she didn't let the side down in any way.
Her gown was made bespoke for her by Giorgio Armani (of course) and it plays to her style strengths perfectly. The embellished bodice, the over the top full tulle skirt and the hint of those amazing legs - it's got it all and then some.
We can't all afford a bespoke gown but if you have a special occasion coming up and you fancy a bit of flouncy action then take inspiration from Tina's bold look. With a little searching you can find great prom style dresses with kick out tulle skirts and a touch of embellishment as well.
Try Lipsy VIP for a pared back approach or the pink and black dress from Misses Dressy if you want to pack more of a punch. Of course if your budget is as big as Tina's skirt then why not try Red Valentino's chic black and pink tulle dress at Harvey Nichols?
Either way, be loud and proud in your own tulle creation.
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, the superstar said: 'It's that happiness that people talk about, when you wish for nothing, when you can finally take a deep breath and say, 'Everything is good'. It's a wonderful place to be.'
Tina married her German music producer other half on the banks of Lake Zurich surrounded by friends and family, including Oprah Winfrey and Bryan Adams.
And it seems that she managed to find the perfect wedding dress, deciding against traditional white and opting for something typically glamorous.

Tina admitted that she saw the gown on a catwalk in Beijing and decided that she had to have the eye-catching creation.
'I thought, 'I gotta have that, even if I never wear it'', she said. 'Then I thought, 'I know, that will be my wedding dress'.'

And while Tina made sure that all eyes were on her in the dramatic silk wedding dress, all the female guests wore white and the men wore black tie.
Describing the type of ceremony that they had, the practicing Buddhist said: 'The American tradition I grew up with, tailoring it a little bit to me.'
According to Swiss media, 120 guests were invited to the event at the couple's Swiss home, the Chateau Algonquin estate in the Kuesnacht municipality on last Sunday.
They also reportedly increased the security at their party by having wedding planners put up a red canvas screen at the foot of their garden, as well as police cordoning off the water outside their property.
However, police spokeswoman Esther Surber told AFP that the zone was cordoned off 'not because Tina Turner wants this (but) to avoid many boats' crowding near the manor in Kuesnacht, on Lake Zurich.
The couple, who have been together for 27 years after meeting at Heathrow airport, jetted off to Italy after the wedding for their honeymoon.
