The skirt featured a graceful train.

Attending her sister as bridesmaid, Miss Elaine Pearse wore rich gold beaute satin. The gown followed princess lines and had short frilled sleeves. A pleated silk tulle cap trimmed with lavender velvet flowers was worn. The shower bouquet was of lavender irises, stock and maidenhair fern, tied with long gold streamers. Mr C. Brain, of Oamaru. was best man.
