Stacey Solomon has shared a glimpse of her wedding prep ahead of tying the knot with fiancé Joe Swash next month.
The TV presenting pair are set to say 'I do' in the garden of their affectionately named Pickle Cottage.
As Joe returned from his boozy stag do in Ibiza, bride-to-be Stacey took to Instagram to show her 5.3 million followers what she had been up to over the weekend.
While Joe, 40, was living it up on the party island with celebrity pals Rob Beckett and Dean Gaffney, she was putting the finishing touches to their wedding decorations.
Showing off her crafting skills again, the mum-of-four transformed a mirror into a clever sign welcoming guests to their summer garden wedding.

“Attempting to do some wedding crafts and Rose is absolutely cracking up at herself in this mirror,” Stacey wrote in her Instagram stories.
Sharing a video of herself cleaning the mirror after baby Rose had finishing playing with it, Stacey told fans she was trying to upcycle her wedding accessories rather than buying things new.
The 32-year-old said: “So I’m trying to use things we already have to make bits for the wedding instead of buying new things.
“I’m making a welcome sign from our mirror & old fake flowers, then I can reuse the flowers after and put the mirror back.”
Explaining how she did it, Stacey continued: “So I just glued some fake flowers around the edge. Glue gun glue will just peel off.
“Then I bought a couple of labels from my sister @label.lady1 – and that’s it welcome sign complete.”
Stacey then shared a photo of the finished sign which read: “Welcome to the wedding of Stacey & Joe forever.”
She added: “It’s so hard to get a picture of it because it’s a mirror, but it’s so pretty in real life – I’m so pleased with it.”
Stacey and Joe have decided to get married in the grounds of their £1.2 million Essex home instead of hiring out a venue.
To make it legal they have had to obtain a special wedding licence for their big day, which is expected to take place on the last weekend of July.
Making the most of their beautiful 2.5 acres of gardens, Stacey has created a special pergola aisle she will walk down.
Keeping fans updated on the prep for her big day, she said: “This morning I had to meet with the caterers, florists and everyone in between.
“We are on the last part now, the aisle - and my sister just put a load of candles in my kitchen jars at the bottom where we are going to stand and I'm crying.”
The couple will be hoping for good weather as guests are set to eat at an outside area, followed by a night of karaoke.
