I had always imagined myself wearing a fishtail-style dress. I did try the princess look too, but it just wasn’t me! I teamed my gorgeous gown with a glitzy belt and a sparkly cathedral-length veil, which caught the light beautifully. I am known for my shoes and I wasn’t going to disappoint on my wedding day! I rocked gold Louboutins with subtle diamantes. Our wedding was so special as we kept it small with the people that we love the most. Lots of people commented on how romantic it was. I loved that Neil’s father and Isabel did beautiful readings at the ceremony – there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I also have to say a huge thank you to my maid-of-honour Holly who was always there when I was having a meltdown! I was an emotional wreck in the week before the wedding, but I woke up on the day so excited for it to be happening! Neil is so laid-back in life anyway, so our big day was no different. The only time he felt nervous was when it was time to walk in. 58
