In a short statement, Mr Deacon said he was thrilled to work with Pippa on the wedding dress.  He confirmed that the dress is constructed with a cap sleeve, high neckline and featured a corseted bodice with draping to the front and a heart-shaped detail at the back.

Of course, Kate attended her younger sister’s wedding.   She chaperoned the page boys and flower girls, including her own two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Kate’s outfit:

Kate chose a blush pink dress by Alexander Mcqueen.  The dress is a bespoke piece, which means it is not part of the designer’s ready-to-wear collection, nor can it be purchased from any store.

The rose pink midi dress featured v-neckline, full sleeves, peplum detailing and soft pleats.

Kate accessorised the pink dress with her Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps in Praline suede.  They’re a favourite of hers – she wears them often.

She owns the heels in four additional colours: red, black, burgundy and silver  (more details here).  

The Duchess wore a pink hat by milliner Jane Taylor.   It appears to be a bespoke piece, handcrafted just for Kate.  The hat features a rose in the centre.

Finally, Kate accessorised with a pair of Morganite Double Drop Earrings by jeweller Kiki McDonough.
