The former 'Love Island' star is gearing up to tie the knot with Alex Bowen and she's determined to make the nuptials as personal as possible, even though it's meant a lot of extra "work" for her to do.

She told star magazine: "I've just started designing all the bridesmaids' dresses because I want them to wear something that was designed by me.

"It's really fun, but it's adding more work so there's quite a bit still to do."

The 24-year-old beauty is particularly looking forward to changing her name once she's got hitched.

She said: "I just want to be called Olivia Bowen, It sounds so good. I feel like a Bond star!"

The blonde beauty is also desperate for her pals Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey to follow in her and Alex's footsteps and get married.

She said: "I hope so and I hope I'm bridesmaid. Cara, if you read this, make me bridesmaid.

"I definitely think they could be next.

"They're getting on so well and they're the perfect little family at the minute."

Olivia, who met Alex on the reality TV show in 2016, previously admitted they were initially in two minds about where they wanted to get hitched, but have now decided that they're going to hold their ceremony at a gorgeous manor house in their native county of Essex.

She explained: "We've decided we're definitely getting married in Essex. There are so many beautiful houses and gardens around the area, so that's sort of the vibe we want to go for. Alex is quite vocal about what he likes - a little too vocal sometimes."
