Given in marriage by her parents, Kayla wore a diamond white Mona Lisa Royale gown by Maggie Sottero. The one-piece strapless gown boasted a lace-up corset back and a sweetheart neckline. The bodice featured regal embellished embroidery accented with Swarovski crystals, bugle beads, seed beads, glass beads and sequins that was reflected on the front panel of the A-line skirt. The caught-up cutaway skirt is decorated with motifs that also accent the caught-up skirt back. The embellished chapel-length train with gentle gathered tucks finished the style.

She wore a modified tiara-style comb of intertwined rhinestone fleurettes and diamond-shaped medallions, finished with clusters of Austrian crystals. The bride’s single-tier fingertip veil of illusion was hemmed with an embroidered flower and vine pattern of silver metallic, embellished with miniature sequins and seed pearls, mother-of-pearl recaille beads and Austrian crystal beads.

Kayla carried a nosegay bouquet of hot pink flowers that included rosebuds, azaleas, zinnias, and three white-edged rose blooms in the center, complete with crystal accents and ribbon-wrapped stems.
