Presented in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, the bride wore a beautiful gown of ivory Alencon lace designed by Ines di Santo for Stanley Korshak. The feminine, trumpet-like silhouette featured a silk taffeta underlay and a sweetheart neckline. Illusion tulle and lace detail grazed her shoulders and cascaded down her back coming together to create the low v-back of the gown. Covered buttons flowed down her tiered lace skirt for a romantic flair. To complete her ensemble, the bride wore a veil of sheer illusion and lace with a hint of crystal detail, which framed her face and fell gracefully beyond her chapel- length train. Her sisters had also worn the same veil.
