David and Victoria Beckham’s daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz painted as ‘nightmare bride’ in new doc
Heiress and actress Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding may have been considered the “celebrity wedding of the year” in 2022, but it reportedly didn’t happen without major bumps.
In the new documentary, “Peltz Beckhams Vs The Planners,” the original lawsuit filed by Nicola’s billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, against Plan Design Events (PDE) is broken down, telling the story of the legal battle from both sides.
The Peltzes’ side is told first, and the lawsuit is presented. Nelson is suing the wedding planners for a $159,000 deposit he made before firing wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba nine days after hiring them. It then dives into the countersuit filed by Miami-based Braghin and Grijalba.
At the start of the documentary, one expert says, “Nicola comes across as a nightmare bride. Exactly the sort of person you don’t want having your phone number.”
Below is a breakdown of the biggest takeaways from the Discovery+ documentary.
How it all began
Nicola and Brooklyn began dating in October 2019 and made their relationship Instagram official in January 2020. After less than a year of dating, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram in July 2020, with Peltz Beckham writing Beckham had made her “the luckiest girl in the world.”
In April 2022, Peltz and Beckham tied the knot at the Peltz family’s multimillion-dollar home in Palm Beach, Florida.
Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz, hired famed wedding planner Preston Bailey to orchestrate the massive production, but he stepped away from the project six weeks before the wedding, leaving the Peltz family in a panic.

In February, Bailey told Page Six he decided to quit the job 11 months into the project because he “overcommitted.”
“I couldn’t deliver to the quality I was used to,” Bailey told the outlet.
