The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore an A-line designer ivory silk satin ball gown, featuring a detachable one shoulder (off-the shoulder) sleeve and cascading side ruffles. The back included satin buttons the length of the dress and a detachable cathedral length bow. Her cathedral length sheer veil with silk outlining complemented the gown. The bride carried a bouquet of Sarah Bernhardt peonies with white hydrangeas around the base.

After the ceremony, a reception was held at the Country Club of Jackson. The six-tiered bride’s cake was decorated with pink sugar paste roses and fresh flowers surrounding the base. Each layer was a different flavor. The bridegroom’s cake was a two-tiered chocolate flavored cake with a hand-molded red-fox lab holding a duck to resemble the couple’s dog, Rook. Guests were entertained by The Chee-Weez from New Orleans.
On the eve of the wedding, the bridegroom’s parents hosted a rehearsal dinner for the bridal party, family, and close friends at The Faulkner.
