The bride who was given in marriage by her brother, Donald Howard, Windham, appeared in white satin styled with sweet heart neckline, long sleeves pointed at the wrist, and formal train. The fitted bodice was trimmed with seed pearls.

Her fingertip veil was fastened to a coronet of white delphiniums, and she carried a shower bouquet of white gardenias and delphiniums tied with long streamers of white satin ribbon.
