A Victorian style gown of white Marquisette over taffeta was worn by the bride for the double ring ceremony. Tiny covered buttons extended down the front of the gown to the lace bustle at the waist. The fitted bodice had tapering sleeves, pointed at the wrists, and her plain skirt fell into a court train. Her lace-edged fingertip veil of illusion was caught to a tiara of seed pearls, and she carried a shower bouquet of red roses.

Mrs. Donald Cole, sister of the groom, was matron of honor, wearing a gown of yellow marquisette over taffeta. A boat neckline and lace-edged puffed sleeves fashioned the bodice, which was nipped at the waist with lace. Lace insertions were woven about the skirt, and she wore a yellow sweetheart bonnet of peach gladioli. She carried a heart-shaped bouquet of peach gladioli.
