It was fashioned with tight fitting bodice and long pointed sleeves. The full skirt formed a train. A fingertip veil fell from a small cap of seed pearls and she carried a colonial bouquet of gardenias from which fell a shower of white net scattered with gardenias. Mrs. Jack Gilmour, Matawan, was matron of honor and wore a powder blue gown with small bustle, matching gauntlets and a crown of powder blue with orchid bows. She carried an old-fashioned bouquet of flowers in pastel shades.
