Stacey Solomon looked a picture-perfect bride as she shared a first look at her wedding album. The Loose Women star had been sharing plans for her home ceremony for weeks ahead of her big day. But last week, she and her fiance Joe Swash said 'I do' and she officially became Mrs Solomon-Swash.
"Forever," Stacey started her post to her more than five million Instagram followers who had been waiting patiently to see the first picture from the intimate Jewish ceremony held in the sprawling garden of the couple's £1.2m Essex home, adorably dubbed Pickle Cottage.
The couple were joined by a string of famous guests including Stacey's Loose Women co-star Linda Robson, who also happens to be best friends with Joe's mum, along with TOWIE stars Ricky Rayment, 31, and James 'Arg' Argent, 34. Arg is said to have performed with his band, The Arg Band, during Stacey and Joe's big day, reports MailOnline.

Sharing some official photographs from their big day on Instagram on Thursday (July 28), Stacey, 32, could be seen donning a stunning princess dress. The off-white princess gown featured a tulle floor-length skirt and corset-style top with spaghetti straps as well as draped sleeves.
Stacey's freshly dyed blonde locks had been styled into soft curls accessorized her look with a subtle flower crown complete with a flowing veil and low-heeled strappy shoes that were topped with a sparkly silver bow which she previously showed off as they matched her daughter Rose's pair for the big day.
Former EastEnders star Joe looked suave and sophisticated for the special day, donning a navy blue three-piece suit with a pastel green bow tie, and flower on the lapel.
Photographer Chelsea White, at Chelsea White Photography, managed to capture the newlyweds in all their loved-up glory, with one of the images showing Joe, 40, and Stacey walking hand in hand down a flower-strewn aisle, while gazing adoringly at each other. A second photo then shows the smiling couple intimately embracing in a field near their family home with Stacey’s gorgeous wedding dress cascading down around her.
In a lengthy caption, the former X Factor star penned: "Me and My Husband. I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream." She then added a quote from Dr Seuss which said: “You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
The mum-of-four continued: "The most special day that we didn’t ever want to end. We love you all & the special community we’ve built on here so so much and couldn’t wait to share these moments with you." She also shared the tinge of sadness that surrounded their big day.
"Joe lost his father at the age of 11 and so did my dad," she explained. "A huge part of our wedding day was reflecting on how this had a huge effect on them and how hard it is even to this day to deal with."
Stacey finished by telling her 5.3 million followers: "These memories are so special to us and it would mean the absolute world to us if they made a difference to children growing up with the loss and heartache that my father and my husband did. Thank you for respecting our wishes, lots of love Mr & Mrs Solomon-Swash."
Her celebrity pals were quick to flood the post with gushing, congratulatory messages. Best pal Sophie Hincliffe, known as Mrs Hinch, said: "You are the most beautiful bride, and this was the most beautiful day … and more. Thank you for having me by your side. I love you both so much Stace. Mr & Mrs Solomon Swash always."
Gemma Atkinson wrote: "Beautiful pictures! congratulations on your special day." Former TOWIE star Billie Faiers penned: " Beautiful huge congratulations to you both." This Morning and BBC Radio 1 host Mollie King replied: "So stunning!! You look gorgeous and so happy! Congratulations!" Broadcaster Vanessa Feltz added: "Mazeltov! You beautiful couple!!!"
