Escorted by her father, the bride wore a slipper length frock of white lace and tulle over taffeta, with a full circular skirt. The tightly-fitting bodice with its short puff sleeves, featured a V-shaped neckline. Her ground-length veil was held in place with a halo of flowers to match. She wore elbowlength mittens and carried a bouquet of white roses, chrysanthemums and lillies interlaced with maidenhair fern. Her only ornament was a gold pendant with an amethyst surrounded by miniature pearls. The bride was maided by her sister, Beryl, whose frock of pale blue organdie over taffeta, displayed a sweetheart neckline, full skirt with frill over hips, and puff sleeves.
