who married Christopher McGreevy
in The Venue in the Royal Liver Building

‘Whilst we didn’t really set a theme, our wedding did happen at Christmas. The Liver Building provided two beautiful christmas trees and we booked a brass band to play in the foyer as our guests arrived. Because of the time of year, I went for snow white red lips. One of my very good friends is a make-up artist so having her with me on the day made getting ready easy and stress-free.

I wanted to channel my inner Brigitte Bardot with my hair, so I went for a half-up/half down backcombed style, adding in a few extensions for extra volume. I loved my whole bridal look. Once I’d stepped into my gown – which was the first dress I saw in the first shop I went in – I felt amazing. So excited and completely happy. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Chris’ face at the altar.’
