It was only six years ago that Kate Middleton walked down the aisle at Westminster Abbey, sporting an Alexander McQueen bridal dress designed by Sarah Burton. She chose to wear another custom look from the British fashion house again yesterday for her sister Pippa’s wedding to hedge fund manager James Matthews at St. Mark’s church, in Englefield, Berkshire.

The Duchess of Cambridge has worn her royal title with subdued and sophisticated style, and her latest look was an elegant example.

The blush pink dress featured several design elements that have quickly become Middleton signatures, including the peplum at the hip—tailored yet soft—and the figure-flattering drapey pleat work.

The subtle leg-of-mutton shoulder treatment and tight cuffs were a modern take on Elizabethan style and made for a nice finish.

And of course it wouldn’t be a British society wedding without the appropriate hat, and Middleton’s was reminiscent of an English rose in full bloom. Quite the crowning glory, indeed.

It had been designed with military precision, with several heirs to the throne on the guest list, the cream of high society in attendance and a picture perfect English country setting.

Add a stroke of luck with sunny weather, a brood of adorable bridesmaids and page boys, and a kiss for the camera, and Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’s wedding went off as smoothly as could be.

The bride, wearing a Giles Deacon gown, beamed to the waiting world on the arm of her new husband, with a troupe of eight excitable youngsters stealing the show under the watchful eye of a discreet Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duchess, who eschewed a formal role herself, marshalled her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and their six companions in front of the world’s cameras, shushing the noisiest and laughing as they larked about on the church steps.

Princess Charlotte is just Adorable…!

At one point Prince George seemed overexcited to the verge of tears before being firmly settled by his mother.

Guests included the Duke of Cambridge, Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry, who attended the church ceremony without his girlfriend Meghan Markle after much speculation that she would accompany him. Miss Markle, who is in London, is thought to have attended the private evening reception instead, although she avoided cameras.

David and Jane Matthews , the groom’s parents, walked together. Jane Matthews was the epitome of sophistication in a turquoise dress and hat.

Prince George was really cute as always in his Pepa & Co page boy outfit, completed with gold knickerbockers.

Joining Prince George as page boy were Casimir Tatos, Pippa’s godson and the son of Ari and Marie-Sophie Tatos, Edward Sebire, the son of one of James Matthews’s friends and business associates, and William Ward.

Bridesmaids were Princess Charlotte, Pippa’s goddaughter Countess Philippa Hoyos, Lily French, and Avia Horner, daughter of James’ colleague financier Edward Horner and Lady Emily Compton.

 

As the ceremony neared, two vintage Jaguar Mk IV cars pulled up to cheers, with the Duchess of Cambridge and the eight youngest members of the party inside.

The Rev Nick Wynne-Jones, who is the church’s resident priest, officiated. The couple’s hymns included Be Thou My Vision, Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken and I Vow To Thee, My Country.

The readings included Love Is An Adventure by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, read by Pippa’s brother James while Spencer Matthews read a passage from Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist.

After the ceremony, which lasted nearly an hour, the new Mr and Mrs Matthews emerged as bells rang out just before 12.30pm.

Kate continued her role as big sister and marshalled the young bridesmaids and page boys into the classic cars that had brought them to the church as guests filed out and walked to nearby Englefield House.

At Englefield House guests heard speeches and saw the cutting of the wedding cake. After toasts, Mr Matthews drove his new wife into the sunset – or at least to their reception – in an E-type Jaguar convertible, waving as well-wishers cheered from the side of the road.
