She carried a beautiful bouquet of freesias and Christmas roses, and maidenhair fern, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. A. Ball.

They carried shower bouquets of freesias, Iceland poppies, heather and maidenhair fern. The flower-girls, Norma Osborne (niece of the bride) and Lesley Ewington ("niece of the bridegroom) were dressed in long Victorian frocks of pink georgette, frilled at the hemline and finished with tiny rucking at the waist. They wore wreaths of silver and pink flowers on their hair, and carried Victorian josies of freesias and Iceland poppies.
