The bridesmaids wore pale pink strapless gowns with flowing empire waists and rouching across the top.\u00a0 Allison definitely stole the show when she made her grand entrance in a fitted wedding gown with mermaid flair at the bottom and cap sleeves. The lace gown was finished with covered buttons down the back and a diamond belt at the waist. Three-tier diamond and pearl earrings brought elegance to the ensemble, as did the bride\u2019s veil, which was finished with floral embroidery. The bride\u2019s bouquet combined white roses and baby\u2019s breath.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/TheMartins-498.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/TheMartins-498.jpg\" alt=\"TheMartins-498\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The wedding began with a sign reading, <em>Uncle Jeff, here comes your bride.<\/em> The flower girl made a picturesque entrance with a tutu dress with pink straps and a headband adorned with a flower.
