(CBS) Move aside, Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton. There's a new candidate for the most-extravagant-wedding crown.

Croatian heiress Petra Ecclestone has reportedly spent $5 million on a Roman ceremony this weekend which wedded her to businessman James Stunt.

The Ecclestone-Stunt wedding took place Saturday at the same castle where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes married, and featured fireworks as well as performances by Eric Clapton and the Black Eyed Peas, according to People magazine.

Like Kardashian, Ecclestone wore Vera Wang - a custom-made $130,000 gown. She arrived for the ceremony in a white Rolls Royce.

Like Middleton, Ecclestone invited Britain's Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia as her guests. Also invited was their mother, Duchess Sarah Ferguson, who was snubbed at the royal wedding in April. Another pair of famous sisters, Paris and Nicky Hilton, also attended.

According to E! Online, the multi-day affair also included a caviar and Cristal pre-wedding dinner with entertainment by Alicia Keys.

Ecclestone, a 22-year-old fashion designer, is the daughter of former Armani model Slavica and Formula One racing chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.

Ecclestone made headlines earlier this year when she paid $85 million for the Los Angeles mansion that was once the home of Aaron and Candy Spelling.
