Posting to her Instagram stories, the Loose Women panellist said: "Just want to say the biggest thank you to these two angels who were the only dress shop that had some of the dresses I'd seen that I loved because they circulate through stories for the trunk show.
"And they only had them for two days...
"And in those days they brought the dresses here to Pickle Cottage all the way from their small boutique in [Co Derry]...
"How incredible are they? Love you girls, thank you for the most special, exciting day ever."
In a post, Stacey added: "Today I chose my wedding dress
"And I never want to forget this feeling... I’ve been putting it off I think because the more I got excited about it the more silly I felt for some reason… I started feeling really conscious about not being, well I don’t know.
"I wouldn’t have done life any other way EVER. I’m so grateful for how it turned out and I genuinely believe everything happens for a reason. But I suppose sometimes those old fashioned narratives make you feel that way don’t they?
"I decided to try my dresses on, at home with just me not making a 'thing' of it. But it turns out it felt like the hugest 'thing' ever.
"My sister dropped the kids back from school and popped up and we both ended up emotional messes.
"I loved every single second of today, trying them on, imagining seeing Joe for the first time, feeling the veil on my shoulders and seeing the glitter sparkle as I moved around...
"And no matter who, how or what way around you do it, it’s the most special moment ever."
Verona Bridal replied: "It was a complete and utter pleasure Stacey! You are the sweetest, kindest human! We loved every second of today and sharing these lifetime memories with you was a complete dream come true! You are going to be utterly sensational on your special day! Joe is in for a treat!
"Thank you again for your hospitality and kindness! See you soon. Helena, Maria & Marie Therese."
