Nicky Hilton married James Rothschild in a royal-inspired ceremony: lovely?

Nicky Hilton is officially a Rothschild. These are photos of Nicky and James on Thursday, the day before their wedding. Nicky spent her entire wedding week wearing shades of white, and she even flashed her cheeks at Paris fashion week, which is fine because she was wearing the purest of colors. James proposed in August 2014 at Lake Como after three years of dating, so he knew he wasn’t marrying into the classiest family. These two well are financially well-matched, since James is heir to a banking fortune. James also seems like a traditional guy. He flew from his England home to the States to ask the Hiltons for Nicky’s hand in marriage a full month before he proposed.

The Friday wedding was a full-on event. Nicky and James married at the Orangery inside Kensington Gardens, and Us Weekly says the bridal registry totaled $28,000 (which includes $5,000 lamps). Guests included Chelsea Clinton, Kate Beckinsale, and Dorothy Wang. Nicky wore a custom-made, royal-inspired Valentino dress that cost $77,000. This dress feels like the less elegant cousin of Duchess Kate’s wedding dress, right? So much bubbly lace, but it’s more demure than I expected for Nicky.

Something amusing (and slightly disastrous happened) as Nicky left Claridge’s hotel for the wedding venue. Her absurdly long veil got trapped under the wheel of a Bentley. That had to leave a mark.

Paris and Kathy Hilton both wore white pale blue. Paris can’t stop herself from pose-harding at any given moment, even during her sister’s wedding.

After the wedding, Nicky changed back into her usual Hilton attire.
