was a mass of green and white. All
the pots holding the flowers were
draped in white, also, the floor inside
where the bridal party stood. The
space usually occupied by the choir
was reserved for the intimate friends
OF the bride. Two white pedestals
wound with smilax and capped with
huge baskets of pink and white car
