A veil of dainty Iloniton lace was prettily arranged under a narrow circlet of orange blossoms, with little flusters of orange blossoms over the ears, while at intervals knots of silver embroidery gave it added beauty. A sheaf of pale rose carnations and rosebuds made a charming accessory to her toilette.

Hats or rose lotus crinoline straw were worn, each being charmingly trimmed with a single large rose at the side, and they carried bouquets of rosebuds and carnations. The bride was given away by her stepfather, Mr. H. Mann. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Jack Beedell as best man, and Mr. Rex Hoyes and Mr. Jack Gordon were ushers.
