The bride’s gown was fashioned of beautiful nylon sheer over net and taffeta and made with a fitted bodice, full skirt and a three yard train. Her fingertip veil was held in place by a seed pearl wreath. Her flowers were pink roses, regal lilies and beach and white carnations, tied with a large satin bow.
