<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There are three important things for a good party: good music, good food and wine, and wonderful people,” James told </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/brides/20210919121951/james-middleton-alizee-thevenet-wedding-pictures/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the outlet</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We were lucky enough to have all three.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the photo shared on the outlet’s Instagram page, James and Alizée are shown beaming while posing together in a classic white car decorated with dried flowers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">James wore a cream suit, paired with a blue suit and tie, while Alizée chose a chic, off-the-shoulder white dress that featured a fitted bodice and delicate lacework along the neckline.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As her “something borrowed”, the dress was worn by her new mother-in-law Carole Middleton at her own wedding in 1980.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It fitted me perfectly and was exactly what I wanted,” Alizée told </span><em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/brides/20210920121962/james-middleton-wife-alizee-thevenet-wedding-dress-borrowed-carole-middleton/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HELLO</span></a></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It always troubled me that wedding dresses are only worn once so it was amazing to give such a beautiful dress a second lease of life.”</span></p>
