Amy Childs ditched bridal white for a pale pink gown as she began filming her wedding special for The Only Way Is Essex at Point House in Essex on Friday.
The reality star, 36, and her partner Billy Delbosq, 43, married in a low-key ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall in London in April. The couple are now preparing for a lavish second wedding in Spain this month, which is being filmed for Childs's own ITV show.
Childs was joined by friends and family, including her cousin Harry Derbidge, 32, for her official hen do.
The star wore a pale pink halterneck gown paired with towering nude heels and an ivory clutch bag emblazoned with the words "Wifey for Lifey". She swept her hair into an elegant updo and finished the look with statement earrings and sunglasses.
Guests dress in black for the celebration
Childs was joined by TOWIE co-stars Lauren Goodger, 39, and Saffron Lempriere, 34, both of whom followed an all-black dress code set for guests.
Goodger wore a black minidress with sheer panels and lace trim, while Lempriere chose a sheer black lace co-ord with black sandals.
Childs's mother, Julie, and other friends also attended the venue, where guests were said to have enjoyed food and champagne.
Four dresses planned for the Spanish wedding
Childs has previously said she has four wedding dresses lined up for her second ceremony, with her glam team changing her hair for each look. "If you think about Amy Childs getting married, you think glam, over the top, sparkles!" she said.
For her first wedding at Marylebone Town Hall, she wore a white lace corseted dress. The couple left the registry office beaming, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, before enjoying a mini-moon with their children costing £1,000 a night at Claridge's in Mayfair.
Wedding postponed after mother's heart attack
Childs was forced to postpone the ceremony last year after her mother Julie suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital, despite showing no prior symptoms.
Speaking to New! magazine at the time, Childs said: "We'll get a new date set. We'll get the summer out of the way and in September we'll get organised. The wedding I want needs to be amazing. It will definitely be next year."
Delbosq added: "We'll delay it for a year and it will be bigger and better. I'd love to do a two-day event in England or a week abroad."
The couple's relationship and family
Childs announced her engagement to Delbosq in 2023 after he proposed. The pair have been together since 2021 and are parents to twin three-year-olds, Billy and Millie. Childs also has a nine-year-old daughter, Polly, with ex-partner Bradley Wright, and an eight-year-old son, Ritchie, with her ex, businessman Ritchie.
