Escorted by her father to the strains of “Trumpet Voluntary” by Jeremiah Clarke, the bride was exquisitely dressed in a Maggie Sottero creation adorned with ivory lace over a light gold satin underlay. The elegant A-line dress featured a sweetheart neckine that was embellished with a custom-designed sleeveless illusion top. A rhinestone and pearl encrusted belt along the front of the waistline was closed in the back with an ivory satin bow. The back of the dress was highlighted with buttons and the entire dress was finished with a stunning scalloped lace hem that flowed into a chapel train.
The bride paired her gown with an ivory cathedral length veil adorned with a beaded floral design and trimmed with scalloped edging.
She carried a hand-tied bouquet of white peonies, antique roses, ivory anemones, sunburst protea and brunei berries accented with silver dollar eucalyptus and seeded eucalyptus. The bouquet was adorned with the bride’s mother’s rosary and her grandmother’s handkerchief, and the stems were wrapped in lace from her wedding dress.
In keeping with tradition, the bride wore an antique necklace worn by her maternal great grandmother on her wedding day as “something old” and her wedding dress as “something new.” A blue floral handkerchief of her grandmother’s served as “something blue,” while her mother’s rosary, along with a handmade garter from her mother-in-law’s wedding dress, served as “something borrowed.”
The wedding party entered the church to “Canon in D” by Johann Pachelbel.
Meagan LeBeouf, sister of the bride, served as maid of honor. Amaya Trahan and Elizabeth Dartez, friends of the bride; Lara Leonards, sister of the groom; and Caroline Wood, cousin of the bride, served as bridesmaids.

The groom, groomsmen and ushers wore gray suits with bordeaux-colored paisley ties. They wore boutonnieres of porcelana roses and greenery.

The mother of the groom, the former Carol Pippin, selected an Alex Evenings floor length A-line gown with a crew neck, V-back and all-over embellished lace floral rosettes in navy blue. She completed her ensemble with a fur stole draped over her shoulders.

Afterwards, family and friends joined the newlywed couple for a reception held at the Grand Opera House in Crowley.
The guest tables were decorated with simple centerpieces including jars and lanterns adorned with flowers and candles atop wood slices.
The bride’s three-tiered round cake was topped with a bouquet of peonies, porcelana roses, baby’s breath and seeded eucalyptus and adorned with clusters of the same flowers. The cake’s flavors included strawberry cream cheese, Chantilly and chocolate chip fudge, and it was wrapped in butter cream frosting. The cake was cut with a beautiful serving set used by the bride’s parents at their wedding and served by the bride’s godmother, Cathy Guidry.
