Stacey Solomon shares sneak peek at adorable wedding detail for 'pickles'

Stacey Solomon is now just a couple of weeks away from becoming Mrs Swash as she prepared to marry Joe Swash. The Loose Women star has been sharing a glimpse at her wedding prep with her millions of followers ahead of the big day at the end of July.

The couple are due to walk down the aisle at her £1.2m home, Pickle Cottage, nearly two years after they got engaged on a woodland walk on Christmas Eve 2020. The loved-up pair met for the first time on the set of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here back in 2010 when Stacey, 32, won the show and former winner Joe, 40, was there to watch her victory while working on the ITV reality show's spin-off.

Stacey and former EastEnders actor Joe now have two children together as well as three children between them from previous relationships. The big day is set to be a family affair and the former X Factor star has made sure the younger guests will be entertained.

The 32-year-old took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (July 13) to share a look at the little goody bags she has made for the 'little pickles' who will be there to witness her wed Joe. Stacey shared a clip of herself putting together the personalisd 'Little Pickle Activity Packs' outside in the garden of her sprawling home.

"Finished my voice over then I had a long meeting! Finally all done so I’m sitting by the pool making little activity packs for the pickles at the wedding," she captioned the short clip. The mum-of-four could be seen filling a woven tote bag with goodies including a children’s wedding activity pack, some slime and a small teddy bear keyring.

In another snap, Stacey revealed that she'd be adding in some additional food items nearer to the time so that the little ones don't go hungry during the ceremony. The bride-to-be showed off the finished product, placing the cute bags into a beige-coloured crate that featured a white 'Little Pickles' banner.

An additional sign hooked to the sweet, DIY crate, read: "Please feel free to grab one for your little pickles." It comes after Stacey showed off more of her craft work by switching up her front door display so that it was wedding themed. Photos shared on Stacey's Instagram page reveal a beautiful floral archway hung over one of the doors of Pickle Cottage, featuring white roses and eucalyptus.

Alongside the images which featured Stacey, her sausage dog Peanut and baby daughter Rose, the star wrote: "Wedding door done. This will forever be my favourite door of all time… I can not believe it’s already July. And we are getting married at the end of the month. Happy July Everyone. Love you all. I can’t believe it’s actually happening."

Stacey then went on to explain the special meaning behind the door, " Something old - the horseshoes we found in pickle cottage when we moved in. Something new - the Mr & Mrs sign. Something borrowed - @emlouflowers leant me some of her beautiful white Roses and eucalyptus. Something blue - the sky as we finished it."

While Stacey gets stuck into the finer details, Joe left his big job until quite late, according to his wife-to-be. Sharing a video of the 40-year-old pushing nine-month-old Rose in a wheelbarrow through their green garden, the mum-of-four wrote: "Good Morning from me and my very hot husband to be who's left his garden clearing wedding prep to last minute and is now going for it on the hottest week of the year."
