They wore identical fashioned floor-length formals of light blue taffeta with full skirts with large bows in the back of the gown draped to the floor. They had matching headdresses of blue crowns. The maid of honor carried yellow roses as her bouquet. The bridesmaids carried pink roses. They also wore pearl ear rings and necklaces, gifts of the bride.

The brother of the bride, Edward Badner, was best man. George Smudde and Anton Smudde, brothers of the groom, were groomsmen. They wore midnight blue tuxedos with white boutonnieres.
