The Only Way Is Essex star Jess Wright has revealed her wedding dress to fans after marrying businessman William Lee-Kemp on September 9.
The 36-year-old’s new husband said that their guests “gasped” when they saw Jess in her gown.
The dress was designed by Milla Nova and boasted a plunging neckline that reached down to Jess’ stomach where it was cinched in with a white belt to accentuate her tiny waist.
The eye-catching gown featured a tiered ruffle skirt and long-sleeves and Jess paired it with a tiara and veil.
The couple’s wedding was held at Basilica de Sant Francesc in Palma, Spain, followed by a banquet at a castle.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Jess said: “I felt so much elation, so much happiness I could not stop smiling.”
Recalling the moment he first set eyes on his bride, William said: “She looked so beautiful. The dress was unbelievable, even more spectacular than I thought it would be.
“The whole church gasped. It was one of those unforgettable moments.”
Jess entered the church to the song I’m Kissing You by Des’ree from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet.

She said: “Hearing it in that beautiful church with my dad at my side, and to see Will at the end of the aisle, I would relive that many times over if I could.”
For the reception the wedding party moved to the Castillo de Bendinat in Calvia, where Jess made her first dress change – into a Vivienne Westwood gown.
She later changed into a third dress by Australian design house Pallas Couture.

Jess explained how the couple had persevered with their wedding plans, after the big day was postponed in June.
“I will never give up on a dream,” she said.
“There were so many times we thought that we might have to go ahead with a smaller wedding due to all the restrictions, but we kept holding on.
“Someone could well say we are persistent, and I think that is probably now one of my middle names.”
Her brother Mark Wright was master of ceremonies while his wife, actress Michelle Keegan, was a bridesmaid alongside Jess’s younger sister Natalya and her two other sisters-in-law.
William proposed to Jess in February last year, after 11 months together.
