Against this background of green, baskets of Easter lilies, white snapdragons and valley lilies were used, with seven-branched candelabra holding white cathedral candles placed on each side of the altar. On the piano a beautiful arrangement of gardenias and fern completed the lovely setting for the quiet wedding.

The bride was attractive in a going-away suit of navy monotone crepe, with three-quarter length coat. All of her accessories were navy with a touch of white, she wore a shoulder corsage of orchids and valley lilies.
