Grainne Seoige finds dream dress in New York ahead of wedding to fiance Leon Jordaan

Grainne Seoige has officially said yes to the dress as she prepares to wed fiancé Leon Jordaan this Christmas.

The TV presenter flew out to New York to pick out her custom-made dress, which was made by Irish designer Don O'Neill, and took to Instagram to tell her followers that she is beyond happy.

Sharing snaps from her getaway to the Big Apple, Grainne wrote: "My trip to NYC has come to an end and I leave with a huge smile on my face having made some great memories.

"I also have had custom designed for me - the most beautiful couture gown I have ever seen - by one of the most talented and wonderful people in fashion @dononeill design.

"Thank you to the wonderful team @theiacouture and of course merci mille fois to the gorgeous @fleurdepascalny."

Grainne recently shared her delight over her wedding dress with RSVP Live.

"I know I will feel like a queen wearing it on the day," she told us.

"It is being beaded at the moment and I am so excited to see the finished dress."

Returning back to Ireland from South Africa, where she lives with Leon, she wanted to ensure that there was a huge Irish element to her big day.

"It was really important for me to have Irish designers and vendors involved in the wedding as much as possible," she told us.

"An Irish designed dress was a vital part of the wedding plans for me.

"I have known Don so well for years and he knows my body type and what works for me. It is custom made, one of a kind and I know it is going to be absolutely fabulous."

Grainne and Leon got engaged back in November 2013 and will tie the knot next month.
