They were not the “modest, wee, crimson- tipped” flowers of Burns imagery, but the sturdy daisy of the English highways and fields, known to the rustic as the “dog daisy”, but in the tender parlance of the lover’s language as the Marguerite. The Marguerite stands for constancy and trust, and every friend of the bride will earnestly desire that the flowers that graced her wedding may be symbolic of her wedded life.

The wedding dress was made of Brockatelle Sicilian - a fancy cream cloth with pink and blue flower woven from the llama goats hair-which was handsomely trimmed with white silk and white mousseline de soie, the goods being imported by the Arcade, especially for the occasion.

the slender figure of the bride.
