Apparently, the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister, 33, wants her guests to have a change of clothes for the second leg of her big day on May 30. Twitter users were quick to react to the news, calling it 'pretentious', 'ridiculous' and 'over the top.'
Kate Middleton's sister's wedding details revealed
“If I was a guest at this wedding, and right now I'm very glad I'm not, I wouldn't be best pleased with this request. It's hard enough to choose your first outfit, let alone for a wedding that will be all over the media. Imagine having to come up with two looks!” Simon Glazin, a fashion writer, commented. “Does Pippa maybe want to offer guests an outfit budget? That's the only fair way of doing this, methinks.”
When the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton tied the knot with Prince William back in April 2011, she changed into a second wedding gown for the evening celebrations at Buckingham Palace.
Hence, Pippa may well be planning to do the same too. Arrangements for the latter’s nuptials are set to be more complicated as they've reportedly invited so many people to the church that more than 30 guests will have to be seated in the vestry. A sound system and screen is going to be set up for them to see the happy couple exchange vows.

Another potential change could be the last minute inclusion of Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle. The Suits actress, 35, was previously rumoured to be off the guest list due to the 'no ring, no bring' policy. However, Pippa seems to have had a change of heart and sources say the American starlet will accompany her royal boyfriend on the day.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte will act as page boy and bridesmaid. Pippa is also ‘borrowing’ a number of ideas from sister’s wedding, in which she stole the show in her form-fitting bridesmaid’s dress.
A florist called Green Parlour in Berkshire, United Kingdom, are providing the flowers for the event and their displays are set to incorporate trees very much in the way that Kate had the knave Westminster Abbey lined with 20ft English field maples.
