Pippa Middleton's sister's royal wedding might have been as elaborate as can be, but her and James Matthews' nuptials ended up giving Princess Catherine and Prince William a run for their money. No expense was spared for Middleton's fairy tale day, and the media had plenty of fun keeping tabs on the arrangements and fanfare that led up to the couple's nuptials.

Matthews is a millionaire, which meant that the couple could go all-out for their big day — and they did. Apparently, all the wedding expenses amounted to more than a whopping $1 million, but E! News noted that it might've been less, given the fact that the couple could've gotten some sweet discounts, thanks to their fame and association with the royal family. The wedding included, among other things, an aerial performance, a light show, pingpong tables, 150 bottles of Dom Ruinart 2002 Champagne, and several vintage cars to drive the bridal party from the wedding to the reception.

The cake reportedly cost around $3,000, Middleton's Giles Deacon dress apparently amounted to a whopping $52,000, and her hairdo amounted to around $975 total. The couple also hinted that their wedding would be an extravagant affair when they sent out lavish invitations, which reportedly cost them $4,500 in total. The flower arrangements are said to have amounted to $20,000. Clearly, Middleton made sure that her wedding would be just as memorable as her sister's, and for those in attendance, it probably was.
