Emmerdale legend Kim Tate (played by Claire King) and her loveable partner Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) are set to have the wedding of the decade on the ITV soap. Kim’s statement wedding outfit was revealed on Wednesday’s instalment of Lorraine by the serial drama’s costume designer Ian Fulcher. Ian explained why the character’s wedding attire had to be made seven times for the 50th-anniversary special.
While Lorraine stylist Mark Heyes was behind-the-scenes in the Emmerdale costume department he was given a sneak preview of Kim’s wedding dress.
Kim’s wedding scenes are set to air on Sunday, October 16 to mark Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary.
ITV spoilers have confirmed Kim will be heading to the church riding a white horse as a tribute to the first-ever episode of the soap.
She’ll be dressed in a fitted long red coat, black trousers and a pair of black riding boots.
Kim will also be donning a crisp white blouse, a traditional black top hat and an ornate brooch as part of her fashion-forward wedding outfit.
Costume designer Ian, who was standing by a mannequin with the outfit on, said: “This dress hasn’t been screened yet but it is due to come out anytime soon really as part of the 50th-anniversary episodes.”
Mark said: “So we have gone equestrian proper glamour here and one thing I found fascinating is you have got seven of these, tell me why.”
Ian explained: “Yes, we had to make seven because there are a lot of elements in the story involving stunts and stunt repeats.
“Filming is not necessarily in order so we had to make sure we had seven to facilitate that.”
Mark quipped: “Unbelievable, Ian, If there are seven of them surely you can spare one for Lorraine and I.
“I think we’d rock that, do you agree?” Mark asked Lorraine who was filming on the set of Emmerdale.
The Scottish broadcaster admitted she would “love” to have her own replica of Kim’s wedding attire and described it as being “very Gentleman Jack”.
In upcoming scenes on Emmerdale, Kim has a showdown with love-rival Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) ahead of her lavish wedding.
Suddenly Harriet loses her temper and grabs Kim by the throat after she confronts the police officer.
Meanwhile, her wedding guests start getting settled at St Mary’s Church ahead of Kim’s arrival.
As word her big entrance is imminent, the guests head outside to see the spectacle of the elegant Kim arriving on horseback.
Once the wedding ceremony is over, everyone notices how rough the wind is getting as they leave the church.
It seems the soap’s anniversary windstorm will begin soon after the ceremony – could Kim and Will’s lives be in danger just hours into their marriage?
Could a vengeful Harriet do everything within her power to put an end to their couple’s relationship?
Emmerdale airs on ITV on weekdays at 7pm. Lorraine airs on ITV on weekdays at 9am.
