Pippa Middleton, 33, tied the knot with her hedge fund manager boyfriend James Matthews, 42, in a breathtaking ceremony on Saturday.
Here comes the bride!
Pippa Middleton, 33, tied the knot with her hedge fund manager boyfriend James Matthews, 41, in a breathtaking ceremony on Saturday. And as expected, every bit of Pippa’s big day was absolutely perfect.
All eyes were on the bride as she arrived at St. Mark’s Church in Berkshire wearing a custom Giles Deacon gown. The fitted lace gown (a similar silhouette as the bridesmaid’s dress in 2011 that made her a household name) showed off her toned figure, which she has reportedly been working on for months with numerous hours spent in the gym. She kept her makeup simple, while adorning her updo with a dramatic veil.
Pippa arrived in style to the church ahead of her vows alongside her father, Michael Middleton, in a vintage car. The two enjoyed Pippa’s last moments together as a single woman, and MIchael couldn’t look happier for his youngest daughter!
After the ceremony, Pippa and James were photographed sharing a sweet kiss in front of the church in a picture-perfect moment that’ll definitely be making it on their wedding album.
And while it may be Pippa’s big day, Prince George and Princess Charlotte managed to steal the spotlight from their aunt! The two tykes, who served as a pageboy and bridesmaid, were as cute as can be in matching outfits from Spanish brand Pepa and Co.
Their mother, Duchess Kate, also stunned in a blush-hued Alexander McQueen number with a matching fascinator. Though rumors swirled for months over Kate’s role in the wedding, it turns out she ended up right where she belongs — as maid of honor! Years later, the roles have reversed as Princess Kate assisted her younger sister with her dress as she walked into the church.
It seems like Kate was also in charge of keeping the youngest members of the bridal party from causing any mischief. The kiddos were seen next to the mother-of-two at all times, and at one point she even gestured for them to be quiet.
Meanwhile, Carol Middleton, Pippa and Kate’s mom, was absolutely gorgeous in a soft pink ensemble and fascinator, while Pippa’s older brother James looked dapper in a tuxedo.
Paparazzi were able to catch a glimpse of some of the guests arriving … and some pretty notable people were in attendance. If you recall, Pippa kept specific details of her wedding a secret, including her iron-clad guest list. She enforced a « no ring, no bring » rule, meaning you couldn’t bring your significant other unless you two were engaged or married.
Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry and tennis pro Roger Federer were spotted entering church.
Prince Harry was also seen taking a walk outside the church’s grounds with his older brother Prince William, but his ladylove Meghan Markle was nowhere to be found. Could she have possibly sneaked in through a side entrance? Or maybe she really wasn’t invited to the ceremony after all…
Pippa and James’ big day continues later today with a lavish reception in her parents’ backyard. In the meantime, check out the photos from the ceremony in the slideshow above!
