1. "...instead of the conventional orange blossoms, the bride wore a wreath of white gardenias, under her Brussels lace veil...Her gown was of white chiffon over an underdress of Oriental satin trimmed with a deep flounce of old Flemish lace, of which the bodice was entirely composed. Her jewels were a rope of pearls, from which depended a diamond cross" (The Throne, 18 May 1907, p 228).
