The full skirt was of white tulle. The hipline of the frock was draped in pannier effect, a frill outlining the skirt being caught into scollops with sprays of orange blossom. Her tulle veil was also held in place with sprays of orange blossom. She carried a semi-shower bouquet of cream roses and lillies of the valley. Miss Maureen Bunn attended as bridesmaid and Gaile Marx, niece of the bride, was flower girl. Miss Bunn wore a frock of blue embossed velvet and organdie -and the flower girl a primrose shade frock designed much on the same lines as the bridesmaid’s.
