Stacey Solomon quits social media ahead of Pickle Cottage wedding to Joe Swash

Stacey Solomo n has announced that she's taking a break from social media ahead of her wedding to Joe Swash at Pickle Cottage.

The Loose Women star, 32, has kept fans updated over the last few months on her preparations for the big day - from big flower arches to new nails and her glossy blonde makeover.

But with the wedding just around the corner, Stacey has decided that she will turn off her phone for a few days to soak it all in.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she wrote: "Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for you're beautiful messages and the kindest well wishes ever.

"Thank you for all your advise and tips.

"One of the pieces of advise all of you told me was to soak it all in and enjoy every second because it's over in a flash.

"So I'm going to say goodbye to my phone for a few days. And makes sure I take in every moment. The set up. The getting ready. The day. And the aftermath.

"I love you all lots and lotes. Thank you for your kindness always. Lots and lots of love from Joe, Harry, Zachary, Leighton, Rex and Rosie.

"-And me - soon to be Solomon Swash."

It comes after Stacey shared the final details of her wedding - from trialling her make-up to ensuring the seating arrangements were just right. 

Posting a black and white picture of herself smiling alongside her make-up artist, she wrote: "Been the longest day. Spent the morning with Penny trialling make-up with my hair and then the table decorations started. I'll show you how it got on in the morning."

She went on to post a video showing the tables in her garden, which she said would be donated to charity after the wedding.

Stacey then explained the logistics of the wedding, saying that she and Joe would be having a relaxed  private blessing in front of their closest friends and family and will register their marriage legally afterwards. 

She wrote: "To get married anywhere legally, the place has to have a 'civil ceremony' licence. One of the requirements for this licence is that the premises must be 'readily available' for ceremonies... [sic]

"As this is our private family home and we need it to remain that way we couldn't go for that option. So we are having a relaxed private blessing in front of our closest friends and family and a ceremony of our love to each other and we will register our marriage legally after..."
