Caroline, dressed in a white silk organza gown with cloverleaf appliques designed by Carolina Herrera, arrived in a white limousine with her uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, who helped her with her train and patted her back encouragingly before they entered the church. When the more than 2,000 onlookers grew noisy, Caroline hushed them with a finger to her lips. Thirty minutes later, she and her new husband emerged from the church, and Best...

Along with more traditional items, Yolanda offers a slinky jersey number with a peekaboo keyhole shape cut from below breast to just below the navel. For her own daughter's wedding last January, Yolanda ran up a gown of white leather, python skin, fox, mink, Swakara and gold cloth with a complementing jacket of Russian golden sable.
