The bride entered church on the arm of her father wearing a vintage-styled, champagne colored wedding gown designed with ivory lace overlay. The classic-style ensemble featured long sheer sleeves fully embellished with lace appliques and beading, which also continued throughout the fitted silhouette. Her sheer lace-covered, bateau neckline was enclosed at the back with a row of satin-covered cascading buttons throughout a chapel length train. A beautiful crystal and pearl studded belt accentuated the gown at the natural waistline. Complementing her gown was a fingertip tulle veil enhanced with a hemline of lace and crystal along the scalloped edge. She carried a bridal bouquet of ivory, peach and pale mauve roses accented with deep steel blue sea holly thistles to add a pop of color.
Traditional items selected by the bride for her wedding day held a special meaning for the special day. In memory of the bride’s grandfathers, two hearts made from fabric from their shirts were sewn into the lining of her dress as something old. Elegent teardrop pearl earrings served as something new, she borrowed brooches for her bouquet, and wore a navy garter as something blue.
