Emily Blackwell kicked off her multi-day wedding festivities on Friday night as she hosted a cocktail hour alongside her husband Jordan Oldershaw.
The couple tied the knot at the five star Corinthia Hotel in London last month but have flown to Mallorca for their big wedding, which will take place on Saturday.
A cohort of Emily's Made In Chelsea co-stars have jetted in for the celebrations, with Tiffany Watson, Ruby Adler, Lily Ludovici and Melissa Tattam leading the wedding party.
Emily, 30, looked every inch the bride in a one-shoulder white dress for the sunlit meal and drinks.
Jordan reshared sweet photos from their evening ahead of their big day.
Meanwhile, Tiffany, Ruby, Melissa and Lily also shared an insight into the pre-wedding celebrations as they soaked up the sun by the pool and enjoyed cocktails.

Last month, Emily shared stunning snaps from her wedding as she made their marriage legally binding before their Mallorca nuptials.
Emily wore a stunning long-sleeved white gown which featured a small train and detailed buttoning up the back.
She beamed in snaps with her husband and the couple's daughter Eva June, 18 months, who was dressed in an adorable white dress for her role as a flower girl.
Last year, Emily lifted the lid on a heartwarming role their baby daughter would play on the big day.
She told The Mirror: 'I need to do some [wedding planning]! We’re planning on getting married in 2026, so I’ve got a bit of time.
'Eva will be a little flower girl too, which is lovely. My main focus for our wedding is to have fun.'
Emily admitted: 'I just want it to be enjoyable – I don’t want to stress about it. I just want it to be a celebration and not a big wedding.'
The reality star and Jordan got engaged in August 2024 after the businessman popped the question during a lavish Florence getaway.

Ruby Adler also took to Instagram after flying to Mallorca for the celebrations
The pair had been dating for two years, and Emily took to her Instagram at the time with the good news as she proudly showed off her gorgeous diamond ring.
They couldn't wipe the smiles from their faces as they celebrated amid their sun-soaked trip to the very swanky £1,500-a-night Villa San Michele Hotel.
She captioned the post: 'MR&MRS OLDERSHAW… COMING SOON 10.08.2024'.
Jordan is the CEO of a consulting agency and the couple often keep social media followers up to date with their lavish holidays.
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
