Ines di Santo designed the bride’s peau de soie sheath gown, with button detail on the train. A circular style woven ribbon veil, fashioned by Toni Federici, accented the ivory gown. The bridal bouquet, by Tiger Lily, highlighted peonies, Queen Anne’s lace, tweedia, fragrant freesia, garden roses and dusty miller.
