Wedding Planner Backs 'Gentle' Brooklyn Beckham's Attacks on David And Victoria, Rejects Claims Nicola Peltz Was 'Bossy'

Preston Bailey, the wedding planner behind one of 2022's most scrutinised celebrity ceremonies, has stepped into the escalating Beckham family feud with a surprising defence — not of the parents, but of the newlyweds. The renowned event architect, whose client list reads like a who's who of global entertainment and business, insists that Brooklyn Beckham's reputation as someone willing to publicly challenge his parents, Victoria and David, does not match the 'nice, gentle guy' he worked alongside during the wedding's meticulous preparations.

Revelations emerging from the family dispute have painted increasingly uncomfortable pictures of wedding day tensions and long-simmering resentments. Yet Bailey's testimony offers a counternarrative, suggesting that Brooklyn's public stance against his celebrity parents may have surprised even those closest to the couple on their most important day.

Wedding Planner's Perspective on Brooklyn's Family Row

Bailey, whose client list includes Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Uma Thurman and Michael Douglas, broke his silence following Brooklyn's damning statement about his rift with his celebrity parents. In an interview with Page Six, the wedding planner expressed genuine bewilderment at Brooklyn's uncharacteristic public aggression. 'It surprises me that he is taking this stand against his parents. That's not the Brooklyn I met, the nice, gentle guy I worked with,' he said.

He continued: 'I can tell you about my experience with Brooklyn. While we were planning, clearly as far as the details for the design, he was very much involved. I have always thought of him as a gentle, decent guy. There was never any tension.'

During the extensive wedding preparations, Bailey observed a collaborative dynamic rather than the fractious relationships now being publicly dissected. The model and aspiring chef was deeply engaged with every design decision, ensuring that Nicola had final approval on aesthetic choices before implementation. This hands-on approach, Bailey suggests, reflects a considerate partnership rather than the discord now consuming tabloid headlines.

Reframing the 'Bossy' Narrative

The accusation that Nicola Peltz wielded excessive control over wedding arrangements has become a focal point in public discourse surrounding tensions within the Beckham family. Bailey, however, found himself in the position of contradicting this characterisation entirely. 'I don't remember her being bossy. I remember a lot of affection between them,' he said, referring to the newlyweds.

He elaborated on the decision-making process: 'Whatever design was done was presented to Nicola, but it was important for her to have Brooklyn approve it. She wasn't going to do anything without his approval.' This account suggests that, rather than steamrolling her new husband, the actress-producer exercised collaborative rather than authoritarian decision-making — a portrayal starkly at odds with contemporary accusations.

The 31-year-old has faced mounting criticism following Brooklyn's public allegations against his parents. His claims that Victoria was 'dancing inappropriately' at the wedding, combined with assertions that his mother scrapped arrangements to create Nicola's gown and pressured him to 'sign away the right to my name,' have dominated recent coverage.

Yet the fashion designer and her husband have remained steadfastly resolute. Victoria, 51, received a coveted honour in Paris this week, during which she acknowledged all her offspring while carefully sidestepping mentioning them by name. She said: 'This is not the achievement of just one person. From design and the atelier to the production and communication teams, and the many minds and hands working together — it is a collaborative effort, and this distinction isn't mine alone.'

Her graceful acceptance speech stood in stark contrast to the public accusations hurled by her eldest son, leaving observers to contemplate where reconciliation might begin and whether external voices, such as Bailey's testimony, might eventually help de-escalate the increasingly bitter family confrontation.
