Pippa was joined by her older sister Kate Middleton for her “hen do.” The sisters reportedly celebrated with a low-key skiing trip in March flying on a private jet (paid for by their parents Carole and Michael Middleton) to Meribel, France. A friend of the bride-to-be told the Sun: "Pippa loves skiing so it was her first choice for a hen weekend. They stayed in a really exclusive catered chalet with maids and a chef, who ensured that they were totally spoilt. The owners also wanted to impress their royal guests so the girls were showered with gifts. They were given Swatch watches, Ugg slippers, leather-bound notebooks and bespoke fragrances. It was a very small, private party and they had an amazing time." Photo: Indigo/Getty Images

The DressPippa has already wowed in a white Alexander McQueen dress at her sister's nuptials, but it's unclear if the party planner will follow in her sister's footsteps when it comes to her wedding dress designer. While the bride-to-be has yet to reveal who will be designing her gown, you can bet with the author's stylish taste that it is sure to be a stunner.David Emanuel, who co-designed Princess Diana's wedding dress, shared his thoughts on the type of bridal gown Pippa should wear for her big day, suggesting she should do the opposite of her royal sibling. "I personally would put her in something very soft, perhaps chiffon, with a train of course because it's dramatic," David told the Daily Mail. "Possibly a little lace bodice, soft and fluid. I mean, she's got a great shape." He added, "I would say the complete opposite of Kate just so she makes her own statement really. Soft and pretty." Photo: Anwar Hussein EMPICS Entertainment
