When the bride approached the altar on the arm of her father, who presented her in marriage, she was wearing a white satin gown with lace over satin bodice styled with a sheer yoke trimmed with white sequins.  It featured a full satin skirt and long lace sleeves which came to points over the wrists.  The veil of nylon net was edged with lace and was caught by a crown of satin and pearls.  She carried a crescent shaped bouquet of white roses and satin ribbon.

The maid of honor, Mary Ann Zahradka, cousin of the bride, wore a coral nylon net over satin gown with strapless bodice topped by a satin bolero.  The bridesmaids, Mrs. John Greschner Jr., wore an aqua gown made identical to the maid of honor.  They wore hats of nylon net and veil.  Their bouquets were of matching carnation and lace.
