The guests' outfits are mainly terrible. Not eccentric/high fashion/unique or even just safe, just awful!

Eugenie looks nice, as does the one wearing the self-portrait style dress. And there's one woman in a jumpsuit and blazer, she looks good.

I know that's a bit bitchy but come on, it's a big expensive wedding and you know there's going to be photographers etc.

StarCrossdSkys · 20/05/2017 21:01

Pippa's dress is great. The high neck and cap sleeves make it look modern even though it's very modest and traditional overall. The top is sort of sporty in shape and that goes well with her very toned physique.

Kate looks like the dowager aunt in some period drama. So old fashioned and drab. But she's definitely in no danger of upstaging her sister and I would guess that was a big consideration.

FlouncingInTheRain · 20/05/2017 21:21

I think her dress is lovely and the big smile is the absolute perfect accessory for any bride. I love that photo of Kate saying 'shh' and the vicar smiling. Its so humanising.

I'm quite impressed by Kate's outfit. I think its elegant, isn't she always, but nothing to write home about. Such a hard role to dress yourself when you're such a famous sister of the bride. Not wanting to upstage, but having a natural style and enthusiasm for the event so not wanting to be dowdy either.

Whats with the little baskets that the flower girls/ page boys have, are they full of sweets or are they off on an egg hunt?

MrsELM21 · 20/05/2017 21:28

I liked Pippas dress, I usually love anything that Kate wears but not today, I think she was trying a bit too hard not to upstage her sister and ended up just looking bland

I was pleased to see that she's often just like the rest of us though, she looked demented with all those kids and gave them a good old telling off and death stare! William of course just strolled in with his brother without a care in the world while she sorted out the DC's - bloody typical!

Not sure why the nanny was in full uniform, it would have been better if she was dressed as a guest and helped out a bit more!

Disappointing not to have seen Meghan Markle but I'm sure some pictures will emerge, I'm surprised how interested I was in this today!

Just looking through the photos, Donna Air really got it so right with her outfit, demure but not frumpy.

Embekkisson1 · 20/05/2017 21:32

It was all perfectly English , timeless even , although I didn't like the idea of "flower girls with baskets" . I thought they all looked lovely , better than all those dreadful Hollywood weddings surrounded by helicopters and the bride hidden under a sheet and screened off and everyone wearing a " costume".

Rockaby · 20/05/2017 21:37

all those dreadful Hollywood weddings surrounded by helicopters and the bride hidden under a sheet and screened off and everyone wearing a " costume".

Costume? I'm so intrigued! Is this a new thing?

CotswoldStrife · 20/05/2017 21:39

I've only seen photos of the dress but I thought she looked lovely and as a PP said, I thought she was wearing Kate's wedding earrings!

The wedding has a Scottish theme, as the groom's family has a home there and a title that goes with the house which I am assuming is the reason for the tartan trews.

Everyone looked very relaxed and happy, looked like a lovely day.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 20/05/2017 21:40

Oh her dress is just STUNNING. Absolutely beautiful. I'm a major fan of lace wedding dresses and it is just gorgeous.

Sedona123 · 20/05/2017 21:41

Pippa's dress was lovely, but the lace looked a bit heavy.

The groom looks way way older than 41.

Some lovely guest outfits, but like most society weddings, some really weird guest outfits too.

Bridesmaid dresses were very sweet, pageboy outfits were awful.

I really liked Carole Middleton's outfit, but both Carole and Kate need to lay off the blusher. No-one wears it like that anymore.

Both bride and groom look very happy though, so 🤞for a long and happy marriage.

Goingtobeawesome · 20/05/2017 21:52

The children's baskets were filled with petals for them to scatter.

elephantscansing · 20/05/2017 22:00

Love Pippa's dress. Kate looks lovely and normal too - shushing the pageboys!

Gold knickerbockers are nasty. Not keen on the boys' outfits.

The guests' outfits were interesting, especially the Vogue fashion editor - she looked awful. WTF? www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/events/stylish-looks-pippa-middletons-wedding/serena-hood/ - number 24

Dlpdep · 20/05/2017 22:06

Is Pippa weraring invisalign braces? I thought she might be in some of the daily fail pics!

Acornantics · 20/05/2017 22:10

Stunning dress. She looks beautiful and chuffed to pieces.

I particularly loved the pics of Kate handling George's apparent 'moment' after the service. That's a moment every mum understands all too well.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 20/05/2017 22:11

Acornantics Oh I haven't seen those pics! Where can I view them?

MadameSzyszkoBohush · 20/05/2017 22:12

Yeah that is not a good look elephant. I think there's a fine line between being fashion-y and looking shit, to be honest.

PetalMettle · 20/05/2017 22:18

Kate's chest looks very bony. Has she lost weight recently?
Love the blonde girl's red dress and the green with the assymetric hem and pocket

ArseyTussle · 20/05/2017 22:26

This is my favourite dress of the day, this guest looks lovely.

So many of the guests look dreadful, the photos are like the ones that get taken at Aintree before they get pissed. Grin

Pippa's dress!
RJnomore1 · 20/05/2017 22:31

The guest in red looks lovely. So does Eugenie

MissEliza · 20/05/2017 22:32

I don't like all over lace dresses but I think she was a beautiful bride. She has great taste. She is tiny though. What was lovely is that it was a perfectly planned and stylish wedding but also felt like a really happy family event, a refreshing change to the celeb weddings you see most weeks in Hello or Ok.

chickpeaburger · 20/05/2017 22:34

I'm not a fan of PippaM however I think her dress is gorgeous.

Stylish and classy looking - I love the high neck.

AdoraBell · 20/05/2017 22:35

Beautiful dress.

notangelinajolie · 20/05/2017 22:53

Pippa - beautiful lovely, lovely dress. And if I said the lace was a little heavy I'd be nit picking.
Groom - he has nice kind eyes and I think he adores her.

Bridesmaids and pageboys - adorable.

Kate - love her dress, love her hair - I don't always like her style but I think today she looked stunning.
William & Harry - standard wedding attire.
Meghan - I'm gutted - wanted to see her there with Harry.
Kate and Pippas mum - elegant as she always.
Eugenie - pretty - glad she has ditched the ugly sister fascinator look.
Roger Federer - Nice Grin
Best Dressed Guest of the day outfit goes to ........ the girl wearing the feather and the baby blue floaty thingy.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 20/05/2017 23:03

(in the Royal Family and as apparent child-herder).

Don't forget dress sorter.

rightwhine · 20/05/2017 23:14

Has anyone noticed how similar the little girls bridesmaids dresses are to Kate's bridemaids? They have the same gold sashes with the same pleats. Her dress is similar too. Is she trying to copy her sister?
