collar of lace marked the neckline of the gown. Her veil was caught to a turban style
head dress of imported lace trimmed with seed pearls and sequins. White carnations
on a prayer book completed the bridal ensemble.
The bride?s ?something borrowed? was a strand of crystal beads which had been
worn by her mother at her wedding. Her ?something blue? was a white linen hand-
kerchief with blue tatting edge and her ?something old? was a white gold antique
bracelet.
