Yesterday I've been to Antoing, Belgium, for the wedding of Edouard, the son of my cousin Charles-Antoing de Ligne, with the beautiful Italian actress Isabella Orsini.
It was like a fairy-tale: a good-looking Prince (real!), the castle, the carriage, the music... magical!
The ceremony was held in the town's church at 5 pm, with all the people of Antoing as witnesses (only 7567!) on the streets, waiting anxiously to see the Bride and Groom! Inside, the church was packed with journalists and paparazzis because Isabella is not only a very popular celebrity in Italian TV but she is also the goddaughter of Silvio Berlusconi, who could not make it to the wedding due to his troubled agenda.
Gerald Watelet, a Belgium designer, made the bridal gown, which was elegant and yet sexy, beautifully paired with a diadema and earings from a jeweler of Brussels, with diamonds and acquamarines.
When the ceremony was over, a carriage pulled by white horses (!!) took the newly-weds to the Castle were the reception was to be held. In there, guests had time and enough rooms to change our outfits for our long dresses.
At 9 pm dinner was served on a specially decorated white tent with African motifs. In fact, the bride and groom came inside to the music of "Out of Africa".
There were 350 guests who came from the four corners of the world. Many aristocrats, actors, actresses and movie directors as Jean-Jacques Annaud.
At midnight, after the wedding cake, a band showed-up and got everyone on the dance floor.
Honeymoon? Bora Bora.
What I wore? Oscar de la Renta and Oscar de la Renta.
