Escorted by her father, the bride wore a lovely, pure white satin ball gown. Its vintage style, off-the-shoulder neckline was embroidered with beautiful, delicate white floral stitches, and enhanced with small drop pearls and crystals. Similar intricate embroideries and crystals accented the slimming Basque waistline and the scalloped hems. The royal train flowed softly beneath the two-tiered cathedral veil. Her black hair was adorned on the side with a white magnolia.
The bride carried a round bouquet made of purely white roses, handmade by the mother of the groom. Wrapped in the bouquet was a rosary made of blue stones, which belongs to the groom’s maternal grandmother.

The bride’s attendants each wore an elegant, floor-length, black satin dress with white V-neck halter neckline custom designed by the mother of the bride. The waistline was accented with a simple black bow, resembling the groomsmen’s black tuxedo bow ties.
