A Beautiful Bride: Caroline Sieber in Vienna in Chanel

This is a lovely way to start a wedding don't you think?

Of course, before that big ol' gorgeous black and white box marked CHANEL 31, RUE CAMBON PARIS comes, there are decisions, decisions...

A rack of Chanel haute couture gowns.

And then who could resist a Coco moment on the famous mirrored stairs:

There is a rehersal dinner at the Heuriger Wine Tavern:

with the ladies in dirndls and the boys in lederhosen:

Don't you love Jaquetta Wheeler's dirndl and red heels?!  And Arthur Wellesley, the Earl of Mornington, is pretty sexy in his lederhosen and socks...

The bride getting dressed:

Such a beautiful gown - I love the ballon sleeves, the long train, the pale blue trailing ribbons - and I love the two stern ladies in the portraits protectively watching over the bride.

The bride arrives at one of Vienna's oldest churches, Michaelskirche:

Ah Vienna!  The gilded reception at the Palais Pallavicini:

The wedding cake:

A really beautiful wedding don't you think?!  There will be more photos of Mr.and Mrs. Von Westenholtz in the September issue of Vogue.

It is a little hard to see in the photos but the neckline is finely pleated.

I absolutely LOVE this ensemble with its super flattering, face framing ruff of feathers
