Olympia Valance is almost ready for her big day this weekend when she ties the knot with former Essendon ruckman Thomas Bellchambers.

The actor and footballer will wed near their home in picturesque Daylesford before 250 family and friends.

“I am excited, I’m actually just excited for all the planning stuff to be over and to just really enjoy the day because it’s been a lot of planning in a short amount of time,’’ Valance said.

“I don’t know where the time went. Thomas and I came up with a date and a month ago, it was like wow, it’s almost here.

“One thing I have forgotten about is stationery — name tags for the tables, a seating chart. I haven’t even done that yet.”

Valance will walk down the aisle wearing a custom gown by Melbourne design duo J’Aton.

At her hen’s two weeks ago, she wore a piece by Con Ilio and felt like a true bride-to-be.

“It was the most unbelievable outfit I’ve seen,’’ she said.

“He did it in a day. I went in, he took my measurements and I went back and it was just perfect.”

The wedding will feature Bellchambers’ brothers and Valance’s two younger sisters in the ceremony.

She has also been busy returning to Neighbours to film on Ramsay St before the show wraps on Friday.

“It’s so nice to be back, it does feel bittersweet but nice to say goodbye in a proper way,’’ she said.
