Pippa quits family trade to plan weddings

London - Pippa Middleton is set to become a wedding planner.

The younger sister of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge recently quit her job at party planning company TableTalk and is considering whether or not to move into planning weddings full time after helping out at last year's royal wedding reception.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Pippa helped her sister and Prince William plan their evening wedding reception at Clarence House - arranging for Kate's preferred scented candles and bowls of Haribo sweets on the tables.

"Pippa helped with the Royal Wedding and weddings don't get much bigger than that. She is keen to move into party planning for society wedding receptions - it would be perfect for her.

"She would go down a storm in America, where they are obsessed with royalty and they have a stronger wedding planner industry."

Pippa also recently arranged the catering at the wedding of her friends Camilla Hook and Sam Holland and pals have urged her to do it full time.

Another source said: "There was a lot of talk after Camilla Hook's wedding about how well Pippa did.

"She helped out more with the preparation and even handed out bacon sandwiches at the end of the reception.

"It was suggested to her by friends that she could make a living out of it."
