Given away by her mother, the bride wore an ivory dress with a fitted corset-style bodice decorated with Swarovski crystals and a full organza skirt.
Her layered veil, trimmed with Swarovski crystal drops, was held in place by a Swarovski tiara and she carried a Singapore shower bouquet of pink roses, white orchids and lilies.
Bridesmaids were her sister, Keira Heslop, and her friends, Jemma Stothard and Philipa Parkin Ross.
