Stacey Solomon was "overcome with emotion" as she tried on her wedding dress for the first time.
The Loose Women star tied the knot with her husband Joe Swash at a beautiful and intimate ceremony, with her dress being organised for her by Marie Therese Hickey, the owner of Verona Bridal.
The bridal shop has a history of working with a few famous faces but they described Stacey as their favourite so far. It began initially on Zoom, where they showed her some options, and when she settled on some possibilities, they headed over to see her at home of Pickle Cottage for the emotional dress fitting surrounded by her loved ones.
Speaking to OK!, she said: "Stacey told us she’d never felt before how she felt when wearing that Jessica dress, she was just overcome with emotion. There were tears. Her sister Jemma came over to visit during the fitting, which was really lovely, and baby Rose was there too. My girls really bonded with the Solomon sisters in that intimate environment.
"You need a bride to trust you with something as important as their wedding day, so it was amazing that our team really connected with them both. It was a complete dream."
She added: "Stacey kept saying that she couldn’t wait for Joe and her little ones to see her in that beautiful gown."
Stacey opted for the brand's stunning Jessica dress - which is described as a "stunning A-line, waist-high, corset-style, marble-design tulle gown" - and she had one request, that she was able to "move and dance" in it.
Speaking about the gown, she shared: "She wanted to be able to move and dance and didn’t want to bother anyone with holding it up all day. And she didn’t want to trip up baby Rose!"
The beautiful dress featured a 3D applique floral design, so she matched it with a 3D floral headpiece, which had custom gold leaves added to it to complete the beautiful and unique look.
Stacey and Joe tied the knot in a wonderful ceremony with her family by her side. She has Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from a past relationship, and Rex, three, and Rose, 10 months, with her husband Joe. The beautiful wedding took place at the family home of Pickle Cottage underneath a marquee full of fairy lights in their back garden.
