It was a wedding that was doomed to end in tears when housemates Mario Marconi and Stephanie McMichael held a fake ceremony on Big Brother last week. But we all loved the dress designed by Amanda Wyatt and spotlight the collection in today's gallery.

The Dress ———————————————
Big Brother's Steph walked up a make shift aisle, right next to the pool, in a fabulous strapless gown called 'Olivia'. Suppled by a small family-run company, Prestige Bridal & Menswear based in Hoddesdon, Herts, the store was delighted to be able to offer the head-to-toe look for the Big Brother producers. As it turned out, it had to be the quickest 'trash the dress' ever, as moments after the wedding reception and champagne toasts Steph jumped in the pool - still wearing the dress.

Designer Spotlight ————————————
Being introduced to bridal wear at an early age by her parents who were themselves experts in the industry, Amanda Wyatt launched her own label in 1994. Since then she has developed a great reputation both in the UK and Europe for her collections which include veils and tiaras as well as dresses. Her 2008 collection is one of the most stunning to date with luxurious fabrics and rich embellishments.
