Pippa Middleton Almost Upstaged The Bride At This Wedding Party

With her experience as maid of honor at the royal nuptials of sister Kate Middleton to Prince William, we would've expected Pippa Middleton to be quite the wedding pro, especially considering she just tied the knot herself three weeks ago (in an immaculate Giles Deacon gown, no less). But, in fact, the new bride nearly broke wedding guest protocol when she attended the ceremony of longtime friends Jöns Bartholdson and Anna Ridderstad in Stockholm wearing a white floral dress that unsurprisingly nabbed all the attention.

The almost-royal appeared at the white-tie society wedding at Oscar Church with husband James Matthews—and although the event marked their first major appearance as a married couple, it was Pippa's Erdem dress that made the headlines. The bohemian-inspired, floor-length gown featured rose patterns, but its mostly white color had us questioning whether it was appropriate for the occasion. However, we couldn't be happier for Pippa and her new husband, who looked more in love than ever—and it's heartwarming to see that they're also celebrating their friends' marriage despite technically still being on their honeymoon. (Sweden is the last stop in their globe-trotting vacation.) Congratulations to both lovely couples!
