Here comes … the mother of the bride.

Carole Middleton chose a designer beloved by the late Princess Diana for her daughter’s big day: Catherine Walker.

Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey sporting a pearly blue wool crepe coat dress with matching satin piping and braiding at the waist and cuff over a sky blue silk shantung day dress.

She also wore a hat by Berkshire-based milliner Jane Corbett, and was accompanied down the aisle by her son, James.

Walker is responsible for many of Princess Diana’s iconic looks – and the late princess was buried in a black dress designed by Walker.

In a statement, the design house said: “We are delighted and honoured to have been asked to design a day outfit for Mrs. Carole Middleton on the happy occasion of her daughter’s wedding.”
