Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a sleeveless white matte satin gown with a princess silhouette. The halter bodice and straps forming the key-hole back were detailed in bead accented re-embroidered Venise lace. An organza overlay, highlighted with a matching butterfly bow at the base of the open back, flowed in a chapel-length train. The skirt and train were finished with hand-rolled hems and lace. Her waist-length double tiered veil of sheer illusion was secured by a bun-wrap of re-embroidered Venise lace on satin.
