The bride, who entered the Church with her step-father, Mr F. A. Collins, looked charming in a beautiful frock of ivory silk lace over satin, cut on slim-fitting lines. The corsage was made in pointed panels, edged with ivory satin, and a cowl neckline was finished with a spray of orange blossom. Long tight fitting sleeves were piped at the wrist with satin.

The skirt, cut in six gores, fell gracefully away to a long circular train, the whole skirt and train being inset with a vandyked four-inch satin band. Her long, embroidered tulle veil fell from a coronet of orange blossoms and formed a second train. She carried a handsome sheaf of Madonna lilies and fern, tied with satin streamers.

She was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Betty Collins, sister of the bride, and Miss Carrie Catchpole, sister of the bridegroom. They were dressed alike in full length frocks of lilac taffeta. The tightfiting bodices were finished with small points at ths neckline and a silver girdle at the waist. The skirts were fully flared and were edged with a pleated flounce of matching silk net. They wore Bolero coats of the same shade, embroidered in silk spots, made with short puffed sleeves and edged all round with small loops of the same material.
