The former 'Coronation Street' beauty - who tied the knot with Mark Wright last year - has revealed she wanted "a classic look that would never date" when she walked down the aisle.

She said: "I wanted a classic look that would never date. I didn't want anything too bold like a coloured lip or really dark eye - I wanted to look like me, but a tiny bit more glamorous.

"I went quite minimalistic and concentrated on the skin, making it look quite dewy and fresh. It was all about the lashes too."

When asked what advice she has for brides-to-be, she added: "I don't think you should try to look totally different on your wedding day, or take any big risks. Always go for something you feel comfortable in - you'll be wearing it all day. Have a wedding dress and makeup that represents you and how you look, not how you want to look on the day."

And whilst most brides have their wedding dresses picked out a long time before they get married, Michelle admits she only chose hers three months before she tied the knot.

She added to the Huffington Post: "I actually got it only three months before I got married. I ordered one a year before and it came and it was totally wrong, so I panicked. I told the lady who was helping me what I was looking for and she showed me the dress and as soon as I tried it on I knew that was what I wanted."
