In true fairy tale fashion designer Raishma Islam, one-time assistant to Prince Diana's dress designer Elizabeth Emanuel is designing her dress.

| ” Raishma told the daily mail, I am thrilled to be creating something really special for Shozna. Her story is incredibly moving and she is a delight to dress as she is so lovely and petite. We sat down together and discussed shapes and colours and came up with the idea of a strapless papaya orange and red dress, with a matching red bolero (jacket). Now the clock is running as I have literally days to make the outfit from scratch, totally made to measure and with some of my signature, ornate beading.” |
The gown, worth £1,500, is made from silk hand-dyed in India and will be embellished with hand-sewn beading and embroidery.
Shozna has also got to pick a pair of nude-coloured heels from bridal favorite, Jimmy Choo, along with a matching clutch. Her hair will done by Warren Holmes, creative international director for Nicky Clarke, and celebrity make-up artist Armand Beasley will also help Shozna look her very best for the wedding.
