Fashion and Beauty: A prop-er wedding for rugby bride Louise Moore

Mar 11 2010 by Hilarie Stelfox, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

With a black, white and silver theme, Louise chose an ivory gown for herself and black bridesmaids’ dresses for her three attendants, friends Claire Wilson and Cheryl Kaye and her six-year-old daughter Caitlin from a previous relationship.

The bridesmaid’s outfits were supplied by her friend Emma Roberts, who runs a bridal shop called Perfect Daze in Scissett, where part of the filming for the programme took place.

Emma says that while monochrome wedding themes are increasingly popular it’s still uncommon to dress bridesmaids from head to toe in black.

“Usually, brides choose black trim or sequins for a dress to go with the theme. We were a bit worried about the little one, Caitlin, wearing black but it worked out well,” said Emma, who was surprised when she learned that the dresses would be appearing on Four Weddings.

“I only found out after Louise had bought the dresses,” she added, “that’s when I said she could use the shop for all the interviews and filming,” she added.

Although Louise says she enjoyed the experience of Four Weddings and found it “fascinating but a bit strange” to attend the other weddings, there were one or two sticky moments.

“The problem is that you’re miked-up all the time and you forget.

“They’ve been showing a few clips from the show to promote the new series and there’s one where I say that the venue of one of the other weddings looks like a mental hospital. I went on to say, when we got round the back of the building, that it actually looked really nice – but they edited that bit out so it just seems that I’m being critical,” she said.

However, win or lose – and she’s not revealing which – Louise has no regrets about sharing her big day with the nation. “I had a great time,” she says.

What’s more she has more than just a photo album of her wedding to show her children in the future – Louise and Richard have a one-year-old son Harrison, with another due in August – she’s got a whole television programme.

The new season of Four Brides is broadcast on Mondays on Living TV from March 22.

We’ll all have to tune in to see how Louise gets on.
