She might have been walking down the aisle for the fourth time, but the excitement of her big day doesn't appeared to have waned this time around.

Katie Price looked radiant as she was pictured at Rookery Manor in Weston-Super-Mare on Good Friday ahead of her wedding blessing to husband Kieran Hayler.

While her outfit was concealed by several large umbrellas, Katie, 34, appeared to have gone for an understated look when it came to her hair and make-up.

But the rest of the ceremony was a less than understated event, with the model apparently choosing a Willy Wonka theme for the nuptials.

Katie, 34, walked down the aisle in an off the hanger dress she is believed to have bought locally, shunning big designer names along with more glamorous locations.

The couple had their wedding blessed in a make-shift Indian temple created inside the hotel in front of scores of family and friends, including Michelle Heaton, Rylan Clark, members of the TOWIE cast and WAGS including Danielle O'Hara.

The brief ceremony, which involved up to 12 bridesmaids and a Gospel choir, was followed by an extravagant reception in a room which looked like something out of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Tables were adorned with vases of sweets and giant multi-coloured lollipops instead of floral centre-pieces, and giant sweets were specially made to decorate the room.

The three-course menu included classic Caribbean dishes in a nod to their first wedding in the Bahamas, and a vast drinks menu for guests meant the celebrations continued well into the early hours of this morning.

Katie and Kieran, 25, will be staying in the honeymoon suite with a four-poster bed and hot-tub, but the hotel Is much more modest than Katie is used to.

Wedding packages there start from just £2,000, while the relatively small grounds are surrounded by nothing but fields, while busy M5 motorway is within earshot.

One source revealed: 'The whole thing has been run like a military operation. She booked it two weeks ago and the hotel has been on lock down for two days with security very tight.

'It's not the kind of thing you expect someone with her means to marry, but maybe she's tired of the extravagance and glamour and wanted something different.

'Even so, it was certainly very colourful and slightly eccentric.'

Prior to the ceremony, Katie had been tweeting her excitement over the nuptials by posting the lyrics to a Billy Idol song, called White Wedding.

She wrote: 'As billy would say, it's a nice day for a... X.'

And while she was busy taking pictures of pretty white roses covered in glitter and lilies, employees were concentrating on preparing the venue for her big day.

Earlier this week, the brunette beauty admitted she would love to have an equestrian-themed nuptials and has always dreamed of riding a horse to her wedding.

She told BANG Showbiz: 'One thing I always say is, wouldn't it be nice to ride to my own wedding? But who knows what will happen. I'll just turn up.

'Everyone seems to know more than me about my wedding - but an equestrian theme, I'd love to do that.'

Horse themed? Katie revealed earlier this week she'd like an equestrian theme, but all will be revealed following the nuptials
