Stacey Solomon has shared the first photos of her fairytale wedding to Joe Swash with fans, after taking a brief hiatus from social media to enjoy the festivities.
The couple exchanged their vows on Sunday 26 July, in the garden of their Essex home - known by the family as Pickle Cottage - in front of their loved ones.
Fans had been dying to see Stacey's final look, after the Loose Women presenter took them along on her journey to find the perfect bridal gown – and they were not disappointed.
Posting a collection of professional photos of she and Joe from the magical day, Stacey wrote: "Forever. Me and My Husband. I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream."
She went on to add a quote from Dr Seuss, which read: “You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

The TV personality 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.
"Joe lost his father at the age of 11 and so did my dad. 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 wore a stunning gown had a corset top and a princess skirt with a slit up the left-hand side.
The blushing bride styled her long blonde locks with a gentle curl, and adorned them with a breath-taking flower crown attached to a floor-length veil.
Earlier this week, Stacey showed patiently waiting fans a glimpse at the wedding decorations to tide them over until the highly-anticipated dress reveal.
The newly married couple's home was decorated with stunning fairy lights, foliage with white flowers and chairs.
Stacey also shared the footage she filmed at night time when the lights were in full effect.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Stacey and Joe's wedding ceremony since the couple announced their engagement on Christmas Eve in 2020.
The couple welcomed their daughter Rose on Stacey’s birthday, 4 October 2021 and following her birth, they turned their attention to wedding planning.
Stacey started dating Joe in January 2016 and they became Instagram official later that month.
