The wedding gown had beaded detailing on the dress with a ruffled skirt. The bride\u2019s bouquet included burgundy, purple and white roses and orchids. The bridesmaids wore burgundy dresses with black shawls and had full red and purple bouquets of flowers. The mother of the bride made all the floral arrangements, which included a floral centerpiece of red roses that spanned the altar. The white runner leading to the altar was lined with red flower petals. Todd wore a black tuxedo with white shirt, tie and vest. The groomsmen wore black tuxedos with burgundy ties and vests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/138.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-6953\" alt=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/138.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a traditional move the couple did not see each other prior to the ceremony, so Nicole\u2019s grand entrance was special to both of them.
