The altar was decorated with arch candelabra with white tapers. A large basket of calla lilies, lavendar roses, and patted greenery also enhanced the setting. The bride, who was escorted to the altar by her father, wore a gown fashioned in bridal satin. The design was sleeveless with a scooped neckline and umpire waistline of soft pleats. The bodice was embellished with seed pearls and sequins, as was her chapel-length train. Her tiered fingertip-length veil was fashioned of sheer silk illusion and cascaded from a headpiece of triple rows of pearls. She carried a bouquet of white calla lilies, a large lavender rose, greenery, and seed pearls. Serving as maid of honor was the bride's sister, Jenny Ledford.
