The bodice back was laced in the true corsette fashion. The soft skirt of satin was adorned with similar embroidery at the hemline and swept in to a chapel length train.
Her veil of imported French tulle was held by a matching bridal bandeau.
She carried a bouquet of roses and gardenias cascading over a Bible that had previously been carried by her mother, aunt and grandmother.
