Scarlett Lee's pink wedding dress as X Factor star marries teenage sweetheart

X Factor 2018 star has revealed her wedding dress after marrying her teenage sweetheart Nathan Shaw in front of friends and family.

The 21-year-old singer tied the knot with her dapper husband Nathan in Epsom, Surrey, on Friday, and beamed with joy as she walked down the aisle in an enormous blush pink wedding dress.

The happy couple clasped hands as their 400 guests clapped and took pictures at the end of the traditional ceremony at Christ Church in Epsom Common.

Scarlett picked out a sweeping ballgown with a long train, which required the help of several bridesmaids to help lift it into the church.

The incredible wedding dress, which was custom designed for Scarlett, hugged her curves with a plunging bodice that nipped in her waist before skimming out over several layers of material.

An elegant sheer panel worn over the pink pearl-encrusted lace bodice covered Scarlett's chest all the way down to her wrists, giving a modest peek at her cleavage.

She teamed the show-stopping gown with a crown made from fresh orchids and other flowers all in the same colour scheme as her dress, and carried a bouquet of bright white orchids and other white flowers down the aisle towards her sweetheart.

Handsome groom Nathan looked dapper in a blue checked suit and a pale grey tie, which he finished off with a pair of black patent leather shoes, a pocket square and a buttonhole of the same white orchids in Scarlett's bridal bouquet.

The pair were attended by a vast group of bridesmaids and groomsmen, with 11 maids and page boys lining up outside the church before the ceremony ready to escort Scarlett to her husband.

Among the 350 daytime guests and 50 evening guests were Love Island stars Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey, who left their toddler son Freddie at home for the day.

Scarlett and Nathan have been planning their wedding for the last eight months, after getting engaged in a graveyard in January.

Nathan popped the question by dropping down on bended knee besides the graves of her beloved grandparents, Benjamin and Daisy Brown.

"Omg he knows how much I wished my granny and grandad was with me on my journey but this has made me feel the luckiest girl in the world! We are engaged!" she wrote alongside a picture of the big moment.

Scarlett makes several trips each year to visit her grandparents' resting place.

On Boxing Day she shared pictures of their well-maintained graves, writing poignantly how much she missed them both.

"Every year I miss you .. but inside I've felt very broken today? Don’t know how don’t know why," she said at the time.

"I do because I miss you but today was hard .. hiding it in memories going through my brain ... I just miss you I really do ... another year without you and there was something so selfishly I wanted this year and that was you ... after the year I’ve had I needed you ... but you wernt there I know people loose people and it’s a part of life .. but today wasn’t the same and I haven’t been the same because of you .

"I love and miss you .. but I will be loving and missing you until the end of time I just wished I had you under the tree this morning," she added.

Scarlett and Nathan are childhood sweethearts, having got together more than four years ago.

He was with her every step of the way throughout her X Factor stint, cheering her on during the live shows and accompanying her as she travelled around the UK to drum up support.
