ULTIMATE WEDDING PLANNER
NEW TUESDAY, 9PM, BBC2 REALITY
How do you transform an industrial aircraft hangar into a fabulous floral wonderland oozing with wow factor? Well, we're about to find out as this is the first challenge awaiting showcase their creative skills in BBC2's confetti-filled new competition, Ultimate Wedding Planner.
