Kirsty on the other hand had a very different brief – trousers.
"I wouldn't feel right wearing anything else because of how confident I am in my own style," Kirsty told cameras.
Bridal expert Gok Wan introduced her to a "huge new trend" at weddings, bridal jumpsuits. Hand-picked for Kirsty was a stunning lace jumpsuit with a delicate overskirt.
"Oh wow," said Kirsty as she smiled in the mirror. But what was her mother's verdict?
Kirsty's mum was loving the "classic" look, until her eyes went down to the pants.

But she didn't stop there, and you can hear more of what she said in the video above.
Kirsty admitted her heart sank hearing her mum's reaction at the fitting. "Fashion has been and always will be a huge part of my life," said Kirsty.
