An Emmerdale star has opened up on the details of her ‘perfect’ fairytale wedding, including her famous co-star guests and non-traditional choices.

Actress Isabel Hodgins, 31, who plays Victoria Sugden on the ITV soap, tied the knot with her partner Adam Whitehead, who’s a teacher, in April.

The couple enjoyed their stunning big day at the Castlefield Rooms in Manchester, surrounded by family and friends.

In a new interview with The Mirror, the new bride shared details of her day and revealed that co-star Eden Taylor Draper was a bridesmaid, alongside as a school friend and her mum.

She said: ‘I’ve known them for so long, Laura’s like a sister to me. Eden was my bridesmaid. They’re just all such special, beautiful people. 

‘I said in my speech that me and Adam hadn’t been going out for very long and I was telling Zoë [Henry] about him and she was like, ‘I’ve got a feeling you’re going to marry this man.’ She just knew.”’

Other Emmerdale guests included Danny Miller, Mark Jordon, Laura Norton and Jeff Hordley, who are like family after nineteen years working on the show.

Isabel looked incredible in a chic satin strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline from Australian designer Sᴀssi Holford. 

She wore her long brunette locks in a sleek updo, with her husband gushing that he ‘loved it’ when she met him at the end of the aisle. 

Casting traiditons aside, Isabel decided to do a speech at the wedding as she didn’t want it to be down to men only.

She admitted: ‘It bothers me that it’s just the men, so I was like, ‘I’ll absolutely be speaking,’ to which Adam added: ‘I was proud she wanted to do her own speech,” he says. “Power to the women.”’.

The gym-obsessed duo also ditched booze on the big day as Isabel hasn’t drunk alcohol in five years and Adam followed suit after meeting her.

It’s a choice she’s happy with as it means they got to remember everything from their big day – from their first dance to the orchestral version of I Could Get Used To This by Becky Hill to walking down the aisle to Perfect For Me by Bradley Marshall.

The ceremony was attended by 63 guests who watched as Adam got emotional as he saw his stunning bride at the end of the aisle – and he was so nervous, he forgot his own name.

The couple, who met at the gym, walked out to Coldplay’s A Sky Full Of Stars, with the rest of the day consisting of a meal, speeches, and of course a party to celebrate which went on until midnight.
