Stacey Solomon shares look at Pickle Cottage wedding complete with decorated Portaloos

Stacey Solomon has shared some behind-the-scenes pictures from her fairy-tale wedding to Joe Swash, as she answered questions from fans about the special day.

The Loose Women star, 32, paid attention to every little detail for her wedding, hiring and decorating portable toilets for guests and a play area for the kids.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday (August 27), Stacey said the most emotional part of the wedding was holding hands with her eldest son Zachary.

Sharing a heart-warming snap of the two of them, Stacey said: "My darling Zachary. You will never know all of the important moments in life holding your hand has got me through."

She also revealed Joe, 40, was very emotional and shed a few happy tears throughout the day.

She said: "He was so nervous and so emotional. He grab my hands so tight when I got to him and said 'Stace I've been here ages. I'm so glad you're here I can't stop crying and everyone's looking at me'."

Loose Women star Stacey's dress was designed by Marie Therese Hickey, the owner of Verona Bridal. She had a matching one made for her daughter Rose, using offcuts of her own dress.

Stacey also wore a floral hairpiece from Verona Bridal and a bracelet from Tomm Jewellery. She said they had wanted to support as many independent and local businesses as possible.

One fan asked about little wedding details people might forget, with Stacey replying to say she found Portaloos very useful on the day.

The star had ordered Portaloos for her guests to use so people didn't have to go in and out of the house. The toilets were painted pink and decorated with flowers and bunting.

Stacey said: "I almost didn't get toilets because I just didn't think! Honestly they were a game changer and meant we could totally shut the house off and be down by the barn for the whole evening.

"It meant Joe and I got the chance to catch up in the house on our own for a few minutes to let the ceremony sink in and I didn't realise how much I'd appreciate that."

She added that the toilets had also been decorated on the inside.

For the kids, Stacey hired out a soft play area to keep them entertained.

She also opted for a photobooth which was inside a vintage car, after imposing a no phone policy on guests.

Stacey said: "One of the best things we got for the day was special photo booths so everyone could have as many pics in them as they like and we got a lovely album of them all and honestly it was one of my favourite wedding purchases."

She also said she didn't want guests to use their phones to protect her home privacy and also to allow everyone to enjoy the day without worrying about getting pictures and filming.
