She wore a soft white satin gown, covered with point lace, and a point lace veil, the lace having been worn by her mother, Mary Alice Townsend, and by her grandmother, the late Mrs. Isaac Townsend.
Mrs. Huntington Jackson of Washington, the matron of honor, was in mauve chiffon, topped by a wistaria-laden white hat, and Miss Katherine Lawrence, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Lawrence, the maid of honor, wore a pale blue chiffon frock and a wistaria-trimmed chapeau. The two little flower girls, Dorothy Hagar and Phyllis Townsend, wore white frocks decorated with blue ribbons and carried white leghorn hats, suspended from blue ribbons and filled with pink roses.
