She wore her long blonde hair in glamorous waves with a white accessory fastening one side behind her ear and a pearl-encrusted veil positioned at her crown. To finish off her look, Strictly makeup artist Lisa Armstrong gave her dewy skin, bronzed cheeks and long lashes.
"I felt like a Disney princess," Amy told HELLO! of her dress, while her new husband was equally in love with her bridal outfit. "Amy always looks stunning so it was no different to normal," Ben sweetly added.
