A small crown made entirely of tiny pearls held the short slightly bouffant veil of pure silk English illusion. She carried a crescent bouquet of pink roses and white daisies.

Her matron of honor was attired in a ballerina length dress of aqua nylon organza over taffeta with a bateau neckline that tapered to a V in the back of the sleeveless bodice. She wore a matching floral headpiece with a short veil and carried a crescent bouquet of yellow and white daisies.

To her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Mattson wore a beige linen sheath dress with pink accessories and had a corsage of a white cymbidium orchid and feathered pink carnations.
