Stacey Solomon has spoken out to fans who supported her on her big day as she shared the first photos with her bridesmaids. The Loose Women star is still in her dream wedding bubble after tying the knot with Joe Swash at the end of July.
Former EastEnders star Joe and Stacey met 12 years ago and became engaged at Christmas 2020 when Joe popped the question during a family Christmas Eve walk. The loved-up pair, who also share two children together, said 'I Do' in the sprawling garden of their dream family home, adorably dubbed Pickle Cottage.
Stacey shared the first photos from the special day a few days after becoming Mrs Solomon-Swash late last month and left fans and her celebrity pals 'sobbing' last week when she gave them a glimpse at her emotional first dance.

The gorgeous clip showed the sweet moment the newlyweds took to the dance floor as husband and wife for the first time. They danced along to a bespoke version My Love Is Your Love by Whitney Houston, and the video showed Joe whispering to his bride "I love you" as the tears flowed between them.
Stacey has now shared the first photos featured her bridal squad after holding back on sharing the stunning images so that her closest family and friends could see them first. The pictures showed the 32-year-old bride and her new husband, 40, surrounded by several women including Stacey's sister Jemma, Joe's sisters Shana, who appeared as Demi Miller in EastEnders, and Caisie, and Stacey's influencer pal Mrs Hinch.
The group looked stunning in sage green dresses in varying styles while the newly married couple beamed in the middle. Another picture showed Stacey and her bridesmaids sharing a laugh while the moment they saw her in her wedding dress for the first time was also sweetly captured.
Stacey shared a heartfelt message to accompany the post, writing: "Our Bridesmaids. So grateful to be surrounded by the most incredible women we could ever wish for. Love you all to the moon and back. Thank you for being there always & forever."
The mum-of-dour then issued a bit of an apology to her 5.3 million followers, adding: "Excuse the spam but Im enjoying dragging this bubble out for as long as possible. Every time we get snippets from the day it just brings those moments back and it’s the best feeling ever. Happy Sunday Everyone."
One of Stacey's bridesmaids, Sophia, replied: "@staceysolomon it was an honour to be your bridesmaid it was so magical love you always bub always and forever." Sophie Hincliffe, known as Mrs Hinch, shared Stacey's post to her own Instagram Story.
She started by saying she was 'off again' with a string of crying emojis before penning: "I love you Mrs Solomon Swash. Thank you for asking me to be by your side. A day I will never forget. A beautiful day spent with the most beautiful girls. Love you all."
She also took to her Instagram Story to share how she had reunited with a couple of her bridesmaids. Posint outside in an array of colourful summer outfits, Stacey wrote alongside the snap: "Went out with my sister and some of my bridesmaids yesterday to show them our bridesmaid pictures.
"Now all of them have seen them [heart emoji] Hope you're all having a lovely sunny weekend." After sharing a couple of the official snaps with her loyal followers, Stacey returned to her Instagram Story and penned: "I love these women more than they'll ever know.
"Our sisters. Our best friends. So grateful to have them in our lives [heart emoji]. Happy Sunday Everyone. Love you lots."
