bodice ended, to fall into the
graceful folds of a semi-train. Her
finger-tip of illusion net was
caught to a halo of orange blos
soms Her bouquet was of white
carnations outlined with waxen
ivy leaves and centered with a
lavender orchid, and showered
with feathered white carnations
and cascading ivy tendrils.

lanta, who was maid of honor,
wore a ballerina length blue ny
lon strapless taffeta grown with
bouffant skirt, with which she
wore a self material stole. She
carried a nosegay of yellow and
bronze daisy pompom chrysan?
themum with ruff of chartreeuse
and moss green maline, and tied
with satin streamers of the same
color.

and wore a pastel blue nylon net
posed over blue taffetta, which
fetured a fitted bodice. Her bou
quet was a smaller replica of the
maid of honors.
Cheryl Ann Mitchell, niece of
the bride was flower girl and word
an identical model blue nylon
net dress, and carried an identi
cal nosegay.
Horace Mitchell Jr,, nephew of
the bride, was ring bearer.
Ancel Bailey served as his
brothers’s best man.
Mrs. Mitchell, mother of the
bride, chose for her daughter’s
wedding a waltz length lace
model in dusty rose posed over
pink taffeta, with which she
wore a white carnation corsage.
