Her maid of honor, Helen Bauer, wore a white embroidered taffeta gown with a white net Juliet cap as the headpiece.

The bridesmaids, Miss Margaret Neiman and Mrs. Al Gralewski, wore pink embroidered taffeta gowns with pink net Juliet caps. The girls wore a string of pearls, gift of the bride. For their bouquets they carried pink and lavender asters.

The groom’s attendants were Frank Lesniewski and Donald Possley. The groom and his attendants wore tuxedos.
