Great British Bake Off star Candice Brown tied the knot to Liam Macaulay on Saturday, looking fabulous in a beautiful gown and her trademark red lipstick. The romantic ceremony, which was exclusively covered by HELLO!, saw Candice break a fashion tradition when it came to her shoes. While brides typical wear white shoes on their special day, Candice wanted to make a statement – and had even decided on her footwear before her dress – a pair of red Alexander McQueen heels. "I had decided on my shoes before my dress," the blushing bride revealed to HELLO!. "I love a statement heel- always have and there was no way I was going conservative on my wedding day."

Candice – who wore shoes by one of the Duchess of Cambridge's favourite designers. – added: "I adore Alexander McQueens designs and as I knew I’d be wearing a red lip I wanted to match my shoes- I saw these and fell in love.

Candice and Liam got married in front of a host of celebrity guests, including Matt Evers – who partnered Candice on ITV's Dancing on Ice in 2017. The couple were also joined by two very special members of their family – their dogs pug Dennis and Pomeranian Sybil – both of whom had travelled by car with the couple to their wedding location.
