The bride wore a velvet brocaded nylon marquisette gown, styled with a deep net yoke, a fitted bodice and a full gathered skirt extending into a train. Her fingertip veil fell from a sweetheart bonnet of net and lace with a cluster of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white Johanna Hill roses and blue cornflowers.

The matron of honor wore a dress of dotted marquisette styled with a net yoke and bustle. The bridesmaid wore a dress of blue moiré taffeta with a fitted bodice and sweetheart neckline lined with pink. Both wore headdresses of pink carnations and net, lace mitts and carried shower bouquets of rubrum lilies.

A reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents after the ceremony, and supper was served to 50 guests at the church parlors. A dance in honor of the couple was given that evening at the Merry Ol’ Gardens.
