The dress also featured a fitted bodice and a full skirt, edged in lace, which extended into a long train. Her finger-tip veil of imported silk illusion was attached to a sweetheart-shaped coronet decorated with pearlized orange blossoms. A bouquet of pink roses and white carnations completed her ensemble.

Miss Theresa Brill, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor. She wore a white frosted organza gown over a white taffeta slip, with a matching sweetheart-shaped hat, and carried a bouquet of pink and white carnations tied with pink ribbons.
