Oooh. How the other half live!

Be just right for our tomato plants

Phew, if it's a hot day......

It could look marvellous for a wedding, but yes, if it's a hot day the guests may be fainting all over the place!

I wonder if Prince Phillip's seen it?

Vulgar, is a word that comes to mind!!

I agree nigglynellie, vulgar and tacky. Pippa is definitely not understated.

An obscene waste of money. But at least I suppose it's their money to waste. Unlike her sister and her in-laws. They prefer to waste other peoples on their lavish affairs.

Which member of the Royal Household staff was it that described Sarah as "vulgar, vulgar, vulgar" was it Sir Martin Charteris, or have I got confuddled?

Is this just to rent or are they planning to go into the market gardening business?
A new career direction for James perhaps!

I suppose if you're marrying a multi millionaire you can waste as much money as you like. I can't see the attraction of these luxury weddings. DD had alovely one and it must have cost about £200 including the dress.

More money than sense, if you ask me. How will they keep it cool if the sun shines?

They probably installed A/C.

Most summer tent affairs have a/c. It runs off some big noisy things, set apart in the garden, I think.

I agree with gillybob it is an obscene waste of money but there again, she would never have looked at any man with an "ordinary" job. Will it last 5 years?

Well I hope its a great day for all concerned- it looks fabulous in an over the top wedding kind of way. Very clever these Middleton girls - I wish my daughters had taken a leaf out of their book and chosen their husbands more wisely.

I'm very shallow. I followed the link and ended up planning how to copy that outfit she's wearing to pick up her luxury spa products. The jacket would be easy to make for rather less than the £360 it's on sale for. And I'm sure I've seen some flats in Tesco nearly identical to those Jemima Vine ones (I read this initially as Jeremy Vine, btw, which would have been interesting).

What a waste of money! - for one day! And, if it goes as mine did, she will start her period (at the wrong time!) on the morning of the wedding, and spend her wedding night clutching a hot water bottle!

Blimey! I suppose they'll have to put net curtains up (or trendy blinds or some such) to stop the dreadful paparazzi from taking pictures for their oh so vulgar publications.

Horrible! Looks like the miles of glass houses you pass when driving through Holland from the ferry. If it's sunny it will be a real hothouse in there and if it rains, no one will be able to hear themselves speak!

I read a funny article about this from Spalding, someone said if they had rented one from us it would have cost £200 a day, with veggies thrown in,

Good luck to them each to their own live and let live

I tend to agree, hazel - and I actually think it'd be stunning decked out with chandeliers and crystal. I'd have been proper vulgar if I'd ever had money.

My husband's nephew's wedding reception was inside a large marquee with see through sides (not glass though ) and it was a bit warm!

However, it's no-one's business but their own what they spend on their wedding! And, btw gillybob, the marriage of the future king and queen is a public affair. The Royals spend their own money (of which they have plenty) on their own affairs. Many of the 'lavish' events we see are state occasions not family parties!

well good luck to her and let her get on with it. I am sure it will be a spectacular day, but I do think she lets her sister down a bit.
