Emma looked radiant in the images as she donned a billowing baby blue tulle gown and matching veil. 

The pair feasted on focaccia and sipped flutes of rosé as they soaked up the sunshine whilst out in their patio area.  

The couple announced their engagement in August 2018 after Oliver got down on one knee during a romantic trip to Gothenburg, Sweden, to mark their four-year anniversary.

After spending 2019 buying and renovating their home in Barons Court, west London, the pair marked 2020 as their wedding year.

Emma previously said she plans to have five wedding dresses, but she doesn’t want her husband-to-be to design any of them.

Speaking in an interview with the Scottish Daily Record, she explained: ‘I’m not going to have one wedding dress, I’m going to have five. 

‘I’m only going to get married once and there are just too many styles to choose from.

‘I’m going to wear three or maybe four on the day and have another one in reserve for good measure.

‘Ollie runs his own design business and, after the good job he made of creating my engagement ring, I would totally trust him to design my dress but I want them all to be a surprise for him on the day.’

The model admitted the couple keep changing their minds over the direction of their wedding, and are unsure whether to go for small and intimate or big and traditional.
