So she took to TikTok to share a video in which she shared a look at the Oh Polly dress - the ivory Aveline gown.
"I think it's good to show girls that you don't have to spend thousands on a wedding dress," she said.
"If you're doing a wedding on a budget, it's completely possible, so here goes.
"Let me know what you think. I love it. It's me!"
"3 months to go and I've finally got a dress!" she captioned the video.
According to the Oh Polly website, the Aveline maxi dress is "inspired by the beauty of botanical gardens in high summer".
The gown has a "sculpting fishtail silhouette", and is covered with "hand-applied floral appliqués", as well as having adjustable straps for multiple styling options.
"Crafted from lightweight georgette that hugs your curves, it is enhanced with perfectly placed ruching at the sides," the description adds.
It also comes in a gorgeous blush colour, perfect for any pink-loving brides.
People were quick to comment on the video, praising Georgia-Rae for the dress choice.

"You look incredible!" Oh Polly said.
"Beautiful! I got my wedding dress off Oh Polly too!" another added.
"It's different to yours. I paid £80 with a discount code. I get married next week!"
"Mine was £90 from boohoo and I couldn't believe I'd spent so much on a dress," a third commented.
"I could never justify thousands."
"It's absolutely beautiful," someone else said.
"I could easily have cost a fortune. You look beautiful!"
"You look spectacular, you would never think it was £75," another wrote.
"My dress was secondhand and I wore it twice myself, it was £200 and exactly what I wanted!"
"That's the bargain of the century & you look great in it. No need to spend thousands of pounds," someone else praised.
"It's beautiful you look amazing, a great choice," another commented.
"Yes people need to remember weddings don't need to be about cost.
"So many places sell dresses for weddings without the boutique cost."

Car pool chaos as rock 'n' Rolls-Royce recreates The Who's swimming stunt
Readers with any mechanical sympathies may want to look away now, after a £500,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom ended up in the Tinside Lido swimming pool in Plymouth. However, this wasn't the climax of a drunken billionaire's wild night out. In fact, it was actually Rolls-Royce itself which deposited the six-metre long Phantom Extended – a retired prototype destined for recycling – in the pool. The stunt is part of the British marque's ongoing celebrations for the Phantom's 100th birthday, and a tribute to the car's role in music history over the past century – specifically, the debauchery and excess of rock 'n' roll. Advertisement - Article continues below The company was inspired by the antics of Keith Moon, the immensely talented and famously destructive drummer for sixties Mod legends The Who. The story goes that during his 21st birthday party, 'Moon the Loon', as he was known, drove a Rolls-Royce into the swimming pool of The Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan. Accounts of the night vary wildly, and it's possible no car went for a swim, but nevertheless the story has become the stuff of legend. Moon died in 1978, but 23 August 2025 would have been his 79th birthday, so now at least one Rolls-Royce has definitely ended up wet because of him. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below If you fancy driving your very own Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool, then check out the Auto Express Find a Car service where you can find loads of great deals on used Rolls-Royce models . Rolls-Royce used the Tinside Lido not because it was the only place that would shut down its pool on a hot summer day, but because it was apparently part of the backdrop in a photograph of The Beatles taken in September 1967, when the Fab Four visited while filming for The Magical Mystery Tour. John Lennon was, of course, one of the Phantom's most famous owners, and in 1972 he unveiled his psychedelic yellow Phantom V. Countless other music legends have played a role in the car's history, including Duke Ellington, Fred Astaire, Count Basie, Elvis Presley, Sir Elton John and Snoop Dogg. Today, Rolls-Royce is mentioned in rap and hip hop songs more than any other car brand. 'From the Golden Age of Hollywood to the rise of hip-hop, over the last 100 years, music artists have used Phantom to project their identity and challenge convention,' said Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce. 'Their motor cars often became icons in their own right, with a lasting place in the history of modern music. 'This enduring connection reminds us that Rolls-Royce and the extraordinary people who are part of the marque's story are united by one ambition: to make their presence felt.'

Kirsten Dunst says she ‘doesn't blame people' for saying her name wrong
Actor Kirsten Dunst clarified the correct pronunciation of her first name as 'Keer-sten', noting it is frequently mispronounced. Despite the common errors, Dunst expressed indifference to her name being mispronounced, stating she has 'given up' and 'doesn't care'. She recalled past experiences of pressure to change her appearance, including a Spider-Man producer attempting to straighten her teeth and studio disapproval of her 'goth' look at a film premiere. Dunst confirmed several upcoming projects, including a mermaid fantasy film and another collaboration with director Sofia Coppola. Her next film, Roofman, is scheduled for release in the UK on October 3. Kirsten Dunst reveals correct pronunciation of her name after 'everyone' gets it wrong

ALISON BOSHOFF: Terence Stamp's last role: How the Sixties star made a dementia documentary at his own care home
The iconic British actor Terence Stamp – who died at the weekend aged 87 – made one final filmed performance. Sources disclose that the actor was in a care home in Bickley, south-east London, in his final months. And earlier this summer, he and his family undertook some filming in the gardens. I'm told they were making a documentary about his amazing life story – he was nominated for an Oscar for his first film role, in Billy Budd; and went on to be synonymous with Swinging London. The doc is also understood to be about Alzheimer's and its effects. It's not clear when it might come out, and his representatives have not returned requests for comment about the project. Stamp never had children, and was married only once (briefly), when he was 64. However, he is survived by two younger brothers and a sister, and had a large extended family including nephews, nieces, and their children. They said in a statement on Sunday: 'He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer, that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come. We ask for privacy at this sad time.' Born in Stepney, east London, in 1938, Stamp went to grammar school in Plaistow and took a job in an advertising agency, but longed for a life as an actor after seeing Gary Cooper in the film Beau Geste. He trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and then went on the repertory circuit, sharing a flat in London with Michael Caine. Instant stardom came after the 1962 film Billy Budd, based on the Herman Melville novella. He dated actress Julie Christie – the pair were immortalised in The Kinks' Waterloo Sunset ('Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night') – and also had an affair with model Jean Shrimpton, but he fell out of fashion. As he said: 'When the 1960s ended, I just ended with it. I remember my agent telling me, 'They are all looking for a young Terence Stamp.'' He travelled to India and lived in a spiritual retreat, before receiving a message in 1976 addressed to 'Clarence' Stamp, offering him the part of General Zod in Superman. Superman and the sequel, Superman II, put him back in the game and he went on to appear in western Young Guns; Neil Jordan's The Company Of Wolves and, in 1994, The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert. He played Bernadette, a transgender woman. He was also in Star Wars Episode I: the Phantom Menace in 1999 and was last seen alongside Anya Taylor-Joy in Edgar Wright's Last Night In Soho, in 2021. In 1995 he was nominated for a Bafta for A Song For Marion, 32 years after being nominated for a 'Best Newcomer' Bafta. Stamp was known for his frankness and said: 'I'm always amazed there's another job. I've done crap, because sometimes I didn't have the rent. But when I've got the rent, I want to do the best I can.' Red hot and vegan – why Pam's pickles are a very personal recipe even Meghan can't copy Is Pamela Anderson taking a little bite back at Meghan? Many were convinced the Duchess of Sussex copied the former Baywatch star's recipes and look in the first series of With Love, Meghan, released just a week after Pamela's own show, Cooking With Love. The executive producer of Pammie's series Jesse Fawcett said tactfully: 'We take pride in planting the first seeds – creating original, distinctive programming that audiences love – and it's a compliment to see our work with Ms Anderson resonate so strongly.' Now Anderson has launched a pickle brand via ritzy Californian company Flamingo Estate... which Meghan once wanted to work with. In this case, ALL proceeds (a jar costs $38) are going to the California Wildlife Center charity. The brand announced: 'After months of development with Pam in the Flamingo Estate kitchen, we're thrilled to announce that we've got a couple hundred jars of the most delicious pickles we've ever tasted. The secret to Pamela's Pickles is an award-winning recipe that was passed down to her by her great-aunt Vie. 'The delicious base is packed with rose, dill, mustard, and garlic – the perfect partner for the signature flavors of Flamingo Estate: pink peppercorns, Guajillo chili, and smoky sea salt. 'Like the legendary icon whose name they share, Pamela's Pickles are both hot and vegan.' Zendaya's in training to cash in Zendaya has enormous commercial clout – both on the screen and on a billboard. The actress, who is 28, is probably the most bankable young A-lister in Hollywood and is already a 'brand ambassador' for Lancome perfume, Louis Vuitton fashion and Bulgari jewellery – plus the Swiss athletics brand On. And now, perhaps inevitably given the money she just can't stop making, she is dipping a toe into the world of designing. Zendaya, who is engaged to British actor Tom Holland, has released a pair of trainers, designed with her stylist Law Roach, for On. The company confirms that she will shortly release a collection of sportswear, which she designed. Cathy and Heathcliff get Saltburned Bouncy director Emerald Fennell has given Wuthering Heights the Saltburn treatment: adding nuns, crotches, erections and more to her very sexy, very gothic, very bondage film adaptation of Emily Bronte's beloved novel. The movie, which completed filming earlier this year, features two Aussies – Margot Robbie (right) and Jacob Elordi – as Cathy and Heathcliff. I hear she is planning to take a leaf out of the Saltburn film with the music as well, which will feature modern-day 'bangers', even though the story – published in 1847 – has not been transposed to the modern day. Saltburn, which Fennell wrote and directed, made a renewed hit of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder On The Dancefloor. And sources suggest that gothic pop will be where it's at for this film, too, which is to be released by Warner Bros on Valentine's Day next year. Sadly – and you might think stupidly – there are no plans to use Kate Bush's 1978 megahit Wuthering Heights. Representatives for Bush and the film did not comment. The Hunt For Gollum is taking shape. Andy Serkis, who played the tortured creature in the original Peter Jackson films, will direct and star in this big budget movie, due to begin shooting in New Zealand next spring, with Jackson producing. Speaking at fans convention For Love Of Fantasy in London at the weekend, Sir Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf in The Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit trilogies, said: 'I hear there's going to be another movie set in Middle Earth, and it's going to start filming in May. It's going to be directed by Gollum and it's all about Gollum.' He added: 'I'll tell you two secrets about the casting – there's a character called Frodo, and there's another called Gandalf.' Elijah Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in the LOTR trilogy, was in the room for the event. The film is set just before that story starts, and features Aragorn hunting for Gollum in order to keep the location of the rings of power secret. It's thought the original actors will return, using digital de-ageing technology. Dame Prue Leith complains ITV's budgets are now so tiny they don't even run to extra food – or reshoots – for her Cotswolds Kitchen show, which is filmed in her own home. 'There's so little money for this that if I make a mess – if I turn out a cake and it comes up cracked – I say, 'Ah, well, what you do is get some icing sugar to cover it up.'' So, like real life then. 'It's actually hugely popular,' she added. 'I should make more deliberate mistakes, because people love it when they learn how to fix it.' James Norton's ITV hit baby-swap thriller Playing Nice ended in the apparent death of baddie daddy Miles. But actor James McArdle, who played the villain, hints there could be a second series, and that he might have survived being shoved off a Cornish cliff. McArdle said: 'My character could well have survived. I know for a fact he was a very good swimmer.' All talk and no trousers for Sydney Is Sydney Sweeney's hot streak over? Her controversial advert (slogan: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans') may have put American Eagle denim in the headlines. But research suggests punters lured to their website clicked right out again, without buying. CARMA, a media intelligence specialist, says search interest for the brand jumped to a five-year high, thanks to the fuss over 'supremacist' vibes in the ad (were they talking about jeans... or genes?) and reports Sweeney registered as a Republican voter. However, the advert did not translate that into sustained interaction or sales. CARMA says page visits to the website fell 6 per cent month-on-month, visit duration dropped by 8 per cent — and bounce rates (visitors who leave a website after looking at only one page) rose 4 per cent, while in-store footfall declined for two weeks following the ad's release. Consultant Orla Graham says although the ad generated a cultural conversation, its commercial outcome was another matter. Speaking of which, Sweeney's arthouse film Americana was released last week and there was no lightning strike of interest there, either. It took just $500,000 on 1,100 screens in the US.
