The 33-year-old socialite looks stunning in white lace dress at her wedding to financier James Matthews.

AceShowbiz - Pippa Middleton and James Matthews are officially married. The couple exchanged vows in front of family and friends on Saturday, May 20 at St. Mark's Church in Englefield. Wearing a white lace dress designed by Giles Deacon, Pippa was all smiles as she exited the church with her husband.

Pippa was seen arriving at the church with her father, Michael Middleton. They entered the building together along with Kate Middleton, who was in charge of the little pageboys and bridesmaids, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Following their private ceremony, Pippa and James were seen leaving the church hand-in-hand while their little page boys and bridesmaids walked in front of them. Prince George was among them and his eyes were fixated on the basket of flowers he was holding.

"It was a beautiful, traditional ceremony," a guest told E! News. "Pippa and James both looked a little nervous but they were smiling at each other the entire ceremony. They were positively beaming. They kissed of course after exchanging vows! Their parents looked proud and there was an immense sense of joy in the air."

"They read their vows with absolute sincerity and, as expected, Pippa read more modern vows, not promising to 'obey' her husband," the guest shared, before adding that the children were "perfectly behaved inside although Charlotte began to cry at one point and [the kids' nanny] comforted her." Kate read a prayer while James read "Love is an Adventure" by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. James' brother and best man, Spencer Matthews, read an excerpt from Paulo Coelho's novel "The Alchemist".

After the ceremony, the couple celebrated their marriage in a spectacular reception. The party was held at a huge glass "palace" which had been built in the Middleton family's backyard. The guests were treated to an acrobatic performance of Supermarine Spitfire. Prince Harry attended the party with his girlfriend Meghan Markle, making this their first appearance together at a royal event. Tennis player Roger Federer was also among the guests.

Prior to the ceremony, there had been a lot of talks about the details of Pippa's wedding, including her elegant handmade dress. "I was thrilled to work with Pippa on her wedding dress," Giles Deacon told The Telegraph. "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."

Pippa also wore Maidenhair tiara designed by Robinson Pelham and ivory satin pumps by Manolo Blahnik. Pippa gave a sentimental touch to her elegant look by wearing the same Robinson Pelham peal earrings which she wore for Kate's wedding to Prince William in 2011.
