The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an organza Kafltian cage gown, fashioned with a scoop neckline and Chantilly lace-edged bell sleeves. The Kaftan splits on each side were edged in lace and floated into a chapel-length train, accented with scattered motifs of lace.

Her elbow-length veil of illusion fell from a headpiece of lace and seed pearls. Her bouquet was of pink roses and white carnations in full flowering cascade. She carried a linen hand-embroidered handkerchief her mother carried at her wedding.
