A scalloped Sabrina neckline embellished with sequins and seed pearls highlighted the fitted lace bodice and the bells-shaped skirt was fashioned with un-pressed pleats, highlighted with motifs of soutache lace.

Her veil of fingertip length billowed from a floral headpiece. The bridal bouquet included yellow sweetheart roses and white feathered chrysanthemums.

Mrs. Ronald Selk, Chili, the matron of honor, and Mrs. Keith Stump, Greenwood, and Miss Christine Lovstad, Chili, the bridesmaids, wore royal blue sheaths with overskirts and "Little bow" headpieces. Each had an arrangement of yellow and gold feathered chrysanthemums.
