Escorted by her parents, Laina wore a romantic fit and flare gown fashioned exclusively for the bride for her special ceremony and celebration. The dress featured an intricate lace appliqué overlay with an ivory undertone. The crystal and pearl embroidered bodice had a flattering scoop neckline that flowed into exquisite off the shoulder cap sleeves. An embellished pearl, rhinestone, crystal and seed beaded belt accented the empire waistline. The gown had a satin covered button enclosure extending down the back of the dress to the cathedral length train. The bride’s elegant dress was accessorized by a lovely single tiered veil, which featured thin trim edge ivory tulle flowing into an ivory lace border. A custom designed hairpiece made of crystal, delicate fabric and classic lace along with rhinestone and pearl jewelry finished the bride’s unique look. The bride carried a loose airy nosegay bouquet of various pastels consisting of green and white tones of hydrangea, lisianthus, lilac, mini callas, hypericum and astillbe accented by misty blue filler and lace from her mother’s bridal headpiece. The bride also carried a delicate antique handkerchief which once was her newborn bonnet.

The Maid of Honor was Ms. Victoria Baudoin, lifelong best friend of the bride; Matron of Honor was April H. McCulloh, cousin of the bride. Bridesmaids were Monique Domingue, god child of the bride and Emily Guidry, friend of the bride. Each of the bridal attendants wore a uniquely selected cocktail dress of blush lace over sateen underlay. The bridesmaids carried nosegays of loosely arranged hydrangea, pink spray roses, light pink peonies and green hypericum.

The best man was Brent Laverne, best friend of the groom. Groomsmen were Cameron D’Heilly, son of the groom and Willie Bell, friend of the groom and Kyle Suire, brother of the bride.

The flower girl was Victoria Raggette, daughter of the groom; and the ring bearer was William Bernard, best little friend of the bride.

The usher was Kirk Babineaux, friend of the groom. Greeters were Ann Marie Bernard, god mother of the bride and Annette Raggette, the groom’s sister in law.
Spiritual readings were presented by Mary Suire, grandmother of the bride. An elaborate pyrotechnic show culminated the sentimental ceremony.
