Olivia Culpo gave fans a glimpse inside her pre-wedding welcome party at the luxurious Ocean House hotel.

The former Miss Universe, who tied the knot with San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey over the weekend, hosted their family and friends at the oceanfront property in her home state.

A TikTok video posted Tuesday featured highlights from the Italian-themed soirée on the lawn of the Watch Hill hotel, which overlooked Taylor Swift's infamous holiday house.

'Walking into our italian themed wedding welcome party,' the newlywed captioned the clip.

Culpo stunned in a white Dolce & Gabbana chiffon dress with bishop sleeves, as she slicked her brunette tresses back into a bun.

Guests sipped on Aperol spritz and white wine, while snacking on Italian meats and cheeses, pasta served in a cheese wheel, and sweet delights from an elaborate dessert bar.

Fairy lights were strung overhead and a full jazz band provided the soundtrack for the sunset celebration.

The bride and groom were also pictured posing for snaps with their friends and family.

At one point, the model took photos with her sisters Sophia and Aurora, who wore a buttery yellow dress and a light pink strapless gown respectively.

A-list guests included comedian Shane Gillis and several NFL players, including Kyle Juszczyk, who was joined by his wife Kristin.

The fashion designer shared a snap of herself rocking a strapless green dress and statement drop earrings while posing on the lawn ahead of the couple's nuptials on Saturday.

The much-anticipated ceremony took place in a dreamy oceanside chapel the following day.

Cops blocked off the street in the moments before the bride and groom entered the church, with aides shielding Culpo with several umbrellas.

The luxe venue is only a stone's throw from Swift's sprawling beach-side mansion which overlooks the ocean on a hill nearby.

The former pageant queen looked radiant in a Dolce & Gabbana crepe ball gown, which featured a crew neck, long sleeves and buttons down the back.

She spoke to Vogue about her decision to wear a full-coverage dress while saying 'I do' to the running back.

'I didn't want it to exude sex in any way, shape or form,' Culpo explained.

'I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it's complementing me, not overpowering me. There's so much beauty and simplicity,' she added.

'When I think about Christian and what he loves and the moments that he thinks that I'm most beautiful, it's absolutely in something like this: timeless, covered and elegant.'

The couple started dating in 2019, and he popped the question while on vacation in 2023.
