The bride’s ballerina length gown was made of white satin and Chantilly lace with a lace detachable jacket. Her finger tip veil of imported net illusion fell from a seed pearl Juliet cap. She carried a white orchid on a white Bible.

The gowns of the attendants were styled alike with velvet strapless bodices and matching stoles and ballerina length nylon tulle skirts. The headdresses were like the bride’s, trimmed with rhinestones. They carried bouquets in the shape of a wedding band with sprays of wheat, fall leaves and white chrysanthemums, set on a background opposite the color of the attendant’s frocks - green for the maid of honor and shrimp for the bridesmaids.

Miss Bonnie Jean Voss, cousin of the bride, of Dorchester, was the flower girl. Her dress of white nylon over shrimp taffeta was also ballerina length. She wore a matching ribbon in her hair and carried a white basket filled with petals of fall flowers which she dropped as she preceded the bride down the aisle.
