Selling Sunset’s Heather Rae Young poses in the incredible lace wedding dress

She’s getting married to Flipping 101 star Tarek El Moussa next year. 

And Selling Sunset star Heather Rae Young, 33, shared a picture of herself wearing her second choice of wedding gown on Instagram on Tuesday. 

She looked incredible in the floor length plunging lace gown which had sheer panels running down the sides as she stood on a podium. 

The fishtail design suited her perfectly as she stood posing with one hand on her hip, while showing off her huge engagement ring. 

But she chose a different option in the end Heather wrote she had struggled to choose between three designs. 

She said: ‘So this is NOT the “yes to the dress” but this was my 2nd favorite dress. 

‘After trying my top 3 on multiple times I chose my dream dress from my favorite wedding dress designer @galialahav. 

‘Is this what you would have pictured me in? What do you think the dress I chose looks like?’ 

Tarek and Heather recently revealed they will not be inviting his ex-wife Christina Anstead to their summer 2021 nuptials.

Despite having a civil relationship with Christina, 37, the TV personalities have decided against having her on the list of invitees as they plan ‘intimate’ nuptials. 

Speaking to Enertainment Tonight on Wednesday, the 39-year-old groom-to-be said of their upcoming big day: ‘No, no exes at the wedding!

‘Small, less distractions, more intimate, better conversations with the people around us. You know, we just think smaller is better.’ 

But Tarek and his bride-to-be are thrilled to include his two children – daughter Taylor, 10, and son Brayden, 5 – with interior designer Christina.

‘The kids were so welcoming. I started putting Taylor to bed right away, and we’re like best friends. They just open arms welcomed me in,’ Heather said.

‘I’m helping raise the kids, so I think [Christina] knew, like, how important my role was, but no. It’s different.

‘We have our own life and we respect her as their mom and we co-parent but we’re a couple. We don’t need to sit down with her and discuss that.’

The real estate duo plan on having a small ceremony in either Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas or California with absolutely no cameras, and Young has already found her wedding gown and selected her sister to be her maid-of-honor.

‘Just intimate, with our best friends and family,’ the former Playboy Playmate noted. ‘We’re gonna have to be strict with our list.’ 

El Moussa and Heather – who met through mutual friends 15 months ago – bought their marital home in Newport Beach last month.

Fans can watch the star’s July 25th seaside proposal to Young in the Flipping 101 series finale – titled ‘Going Off The Market’ – this Thursday on HGTV.

‘I don’t even remember asking her the question. I don’t even remember her saying yes. I was pretty nervous,’ Tarek admitted.

‘She has completely changed my world, you know. I say it all the time, especially on my social media.

‘I was a different person, living a different life and the day she walked into my life my life changed for the better, and I’m thriving and the kids are thriving. And honestly, I owe most of it to her. She’s been my best friend, my ally.’

The Oppenheim Group realtor chimed in: ‘God, I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to marry him…I was scared when I first met him. I’d gone through awful relationships and when I met him [everything changed].’

Meanwhile, Christina and her second husband Ant Anstead announced September 18 that they were legally separating after 21 months of marriage and having 13-month-old son Hudson.

As for El Moussa and Anstead (born Haack), the Flip or Flop co-hosts had a turbulent seven-year marriage, which ended in January 2018.

The former couple endured many hardships like his stage 2 thyroid/testicular cancer, her fertility issues, an ominous 2016 ‘suicidal’ gun altercation involving police, and an alleged fling with ex-nanny Alyssa Logan.
