Given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father, the bride selected an understated, elegant gown of ivory ziberline designed by Vera Wang of New York. The sleeveless modified a-line gown featured a halter neckline and a slight keyhole opening at the back. At the top and bottom of the keyhole were dainty flat bows with streamers. The skirt had a distinctive tulip shape in the back which gracefully fell to a brush train. To compliment her gown, the bride wore a multi-tier cathedral length veil of ivory illusion edged with a flat ric-rack trim and a beautiful headpiece of tiny pearls and Austrian crystals.
She wore a pearl bracelet and drop pearl earrings made from the same strand worn by her mother at her wedding and presented to her by the groom. She also had her grandmother's (Mrs. Mary Alma Holy) wedding ring pinned to her dress.
