A panel of Chantilly lace and a pastel blue ribbon accented the front of the gown and encircled the waistline. A white picture hat with long veil and pastel blue bow and streamers completed her ensemble. She carried a Colonial bouquet of white roses, blue and apricot mums, baby’s breath and white streamers.
