OBVIOUSLY, we shall open with both smooching and this great shot of the bouquet, which looks huge here but which I also think basically works with the rest of this look. Also: Remember how much folks used to use baby's breath in the 80s. A LOT!

I'm obsessed with all this lace AND the fact that those look like actual lamps, plugged in outside. (It gets dark early in Switzerland in February!)

Okay, looking at this closely, it SEEMS like we've got a white satin slip dress, and then a long-sleeved lace shrug layered over it. The detailing on the lace is really amazing.

DIANA ROSS AND ARNE NAESS WITH THEIR BRIDESMAIDS
DIANA ROSS WEDDING CEREMONY, ROMAINMOTIER, SWITZERLAND - 1986
These bridesmaid dresses -- and floral headpieces! have taken me ALL THE WAY BACK to 1986. Apart from Princess Christina, I think all of the attendants here are the daughters of the bride and groom, and in doing my research for this post, it seems like the Ross/Naess step-siblings (and their shared siblings, since Diana had two kids with Arne, including Mr. Ashlee Simpson, Evan Ross) are VERY close, which is really heart-warming and nice.)

I believe this is heading into the reception -- note the addition of the fur coat and also the fab rug involved. Glamorous!
