Say I Do to Nicky's traditional wedding dress

So here it is. Nicky Hilton’s highly anticipated wedding dress to marry James Roshschild, and it’s nothing short of fabulous. Well, what would you expect from a Hilton sister?

The blushing bride wowed in her traditional wedding dress featuring a high neck and long sleeves and a dramatic voluminous silhouette.

It’s by none other than Maison Valentino and the intricate lace detailing gave the game away as the Italian fashion house put a touch of their trademark magic into the beautiful creation.

Nicky has been a prevalent figure in the style world and has her own handbag line, so we weren’t surprised to see her indulge in a high fashion design which showed little flesh and made it all about the dress. Simply stunning.

Sadly, Nicky’s wedding dress is not available online, but you can shop the current Valentino collection at MATCHESFASHION.COM with a click to the right. Ready for gorgeous gown overload? Find your dream wedding gown in our designer dress edit below....

In fact, a bridesmaid ensured Nicky's dress remained in pristine condition as she lifted the train of the gown off the ground.

That day, a host of guests that included Paris Hilton and Chelsea Clinton watched as Nicky exchanged vows with James, who she had been dating ever since meeting at Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt's Italy wedding in 2011.

The couple's engagement was announced last summer in August 2014.

Paris also found time to praise the couple to New You Magazine.

'I know that they're going to be together forever and make the perfect couple,' the heiress said the day of the wedding. 'I am so happy for my sister because he’s an amazing man and he loves her so much. He's loyal and loving.'

Prior to their wedding, Nicky recalled how their low-key personalities made them such a great match.

'We're very similar. Very shy, very quiet,' she told Avenue Magazine. 'We're homebodies. It makes me sound so boring, but just to cook, relax, watch movies, read books, it’s what we like to do. Very chill.'

Currently, Nicky is enjoying an adventurous honeymoon, which she has documented on Instagram.

A photo of Nicky taking in a view of an elephant was captioned: 'Honeymoon adventures.' 

Since the nuptials, the socialite has even added her new last name to her Twitter and Instagram accounts, however has yet to change her official handle over from 'Nicky Hilton.'
