On Saturday, May 20, 2017, Philippa Middleton married James Matthews (a financier and former race car driver) at St. Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire. Following the ceremony, the approximately 200 guests went to the Middleton's Bucklebury home for a champagne reception.
The wedding was ridiculously perfect, from Pippa's gorgeous, custom, Giles Deacon lace wedding gown to the Duchess of Cambridge's stunning, blush Alexander McQueen number – but our favorite part of all was Pippa's niece and nephew.
Prince George served as a pageboy and Princess Charlotte as a bridesmaid at their aunt's elegant nuptials. Mum, Kate, and nanny, Maria, acted as chaperones of the group of pageboys and bridesmaids, ushering them into limousines to ride to the church. At one point, George was photographed waving to the crowd from the limousine, and at another, Kate was seen quieting the group of children. However, guests at the wedding reported that all the children were very well behaved during the service.
The pageboys – including George – wore bespoke outfits from Pepa & Co. The ensemble consisted of an ivory, double-breasted, silk-pleat shirt featuring a Peter Pan collar with khaki piping to match the buttons. This was tucked into a pair of Vienne silk knickerbockers which perfectly matched the khaki piping. The boys' look was completed with ivory tights and Pepa & Co. Boys' Beige Leather Celebration Shoes (£58.00 or about $75.61).
The bridesmaids – including Charlotte – also wore bespoke outfits from Pepa & Co. The ivory, silk dresses featured a frilled collar and puff sleeves. The bodice was adorned with a lace panel in a vintage style, and the waist was cinched with a blush sash which perfectly matched the ribbon trim around the sleeves. Underneath the dresses, bridesmaids wore net petticoats with lace trim to give the dresses more volume. The girls' look was completed with ivory tights, leather shoes*, and white floral headbands.
Can we just say that we witnessed wedding perfection this weekend!? Congratulations, Pippa and James, on the most beautiful day!
* UPDATE 5/22/2017 * Charlotte and the other bridesmaids wore bespoke shoes by Papouelli, a brand we've seen George in before! If you love them as much as we do there's good news, Papouelli has now released the style on their website. The color is called "nude pink", and they retail for £75.00 (or about $97.48).
