The bride chose a gown of sheer organza and featuring a Queen Anne neckline and pleated lace flounced hemline that swept to a chapel-length train. She also wore a matching lace picture hat with fingertip-length veil and carried a cascade of ivy, pink and yellow sweetheart roses, pastel flowers and baby’s breath. Her attendants wore pink, blue, yellow, lavender, peach and green gowns of chiffon, featuring stand-up collars and front and back yokes of white lace with scalloped edging.
