For the occasion, the bride-to-be ditched traditional attire and opted for the unconventional by wearing a blood-red gown with a long, floor-sweeping train and a plunging sweetheart neckline.

The 25-year-old kept it subtle in terms of accessories, opting to wear just a delicate choker necklace and matching hanging earrings. She kept her makeup simple, too, with just a hint of blush, eyebrow strokes and soft eyeshadow.

Her groom-to-be, on the other hand, chose to complement her in a tuxedo that made him look dapper.
