An iron arbor decorated with elaeagnus and white roses marked the entrance to the ceremony site, where vows were exchanged in front of a salvaged elevator shaft from San Francisco decorated with white peonies, hydrangeas, hellebores and ranunculus. Music was by Dr. Linda Hsu String Quartet.
The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of Italian silk and French lace with a deep V-neckline and back. A detachable over-skirt and train were embellished with hand-sewn lace. She carried a round garden-style bouquet of white roses, peonies, hellebores, ranunculus and lisianthus.
