Wallis Warfield:
Mrs. Spencer
She had designed her own gown of white penne velvet (an unusual fabric for wedding at the time) made with a court train and a pointed bodice elaborately embroidered with pearls. The skirt tumbled over with a petticoat of old family lace and her veil of tulle was edged with lace arranged coronet fashion with sprays of orange blossom. She carried a bouquet of white orchids and lilies of the valley.
