Powerboat racing champ, Shelley Jory-Leigh, was recently married in a Justin Alexander gown. An excerpt from the press release is below:

The 19th November saw Shelley Jory, British Powerboat Racing Champion and the Worlds top female racer, officially become Mrs Jory-Leigh when she married marine engineer, Trevor. The marriage took place at Wimborne Minster and was officiated by Canon John Holbrook.

Shelley, who is normally more at home in her race overalls, wore a magnificent platinum silver dress made for her by top wedding dress designer Justin Alexander. 45 yards of dupion silk created the breath taking coat and dress ensemble which featured 3000 Swarovski crystals which sparkled beautifully as the sun shone through the stained glass windows of the minster .
