She was dressed in a lacy champagne coloured wedding dress with a tulle skirt and a sheer top with a floral design.

Lacey opted to go bare-foot, while barber shop owner Matt looked laid back in a pair of chinos with a white shirt and braces.

The ceremony took place at just past 6pm as the sun started to set, while EastEnders stars James Bye, Jake Wood, Aaron Sidwell, Laurie Brett, Scott Maslen and former star Dame Barbara Windsor looked on.

Lacey, who has known Matt since they were 15, opted to walk down the aisle with both her parents in tow where she met Matt underneath an arch.

And in a nod to Matt’s Jewish heritage they smashed a glass once they were official.

Guest tucked into pulled pork, roast chicken and prawns while they drank sangria, beer and cava before a series of emotional speeches from Matt’s best man and brother, as well as Lacey’s dad.

Lacey's big day - all the details

Lacey Turner's Ibiza wedding had loads of cute details that made the couple's big day special


  • As their dogs Dexter and Reggie couldn't attend on the day, a framed photograph of the pets was at the top of the aisle
  • Lacey ditched her shoes to walk up the aisle
  • They exchanged gifts on the morning of the wedding - Lacey got a card and diamond bracelet and wrote Matt a special letter to read on the morning
  • Lacey's nan partied until 3am on the wedding night!
  • Lacey hired three of the Eastenders make-up and hair team to get her ready for the day
  • The pair decided against a wedding cake as "no-one ever eats it"

Speaking about the big day Lacey, famed for playing Stacey Slater, told Magazine:  “We’re on cloud nine! It doesn’t feel real.

"I didn't go to sleep until 5am on our wedding night as I was still so excited about the day and then I woke up at 8am!"

She continued: “The whole day was amazing and we felt so much love and it’s incredible; it’s something you’ve never felt before.”

Discussing falling for each other at such a young age, Matt said: "It's so special that we met at such a young age.

"It doesn't happen for a lot of people and I feel very lucky to have Lace in my life and we’re lucky to have met when we did. I think it was meant to be.’

While Lacey added: “I just feel really lucky.”
