Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has married James Matthews, a hedge fund manager, over the weekend.
The ceremony took place on the morning of Saturday, May 20 at St. Mark’s Church in Englefield, Berkshire and was attended by friends and family, including royals Princes William and Harry, Princess sister Kate, cousin Princess Eugenie, and her niece and nephew Charlotte and George, who served as a bridesmaid and pageboy respectively.
The bride arrived in a vintage Jaguar and was escorted by her father Michael as they waved to the crowds as they approached the church and wore a custom made Giles Deacon lace dress and adorned with the traditional veil, while the groom wore the traditional tuxedo.
On making the bride’s dress, Deacon said, “I was thrilled to work with Pippa on her wedding dress,
“The dress is constructed with a cap sleeve, high neckline and features a corseted bodice with draping to the front and a heart-shaped detail at the back”, he continued
“It’s a privilege to show the craftsmanship that my team produces in London and a real testament to Pippa’s support of British fashion”.
And while sister Kate did not serve as the maid-of-honor, or even a bridesmaid, she was in charge of the eight young pageboys and bridesmaids, which included her own two children plus six others, and was mainly there as a witness to the marriage and to support her sister on her big day.
The groom’s best man was brother and reality TV star of Made in Chelsea Spencer Matthews.
