She wore a strapless gown of ivory silk organza. The full A-line gown featured a sweetheart neckline and buttoned up the back. Delicate beaded lace adorned the bodice and skirt that continued into a chapel length train. The 2 tier elbow-length veil had a scalloped and beaded edge that matched the beading on the dress. Her bouquet was made up of lavender and wisteria roses.
