Mountain laurel and cybotium ferns banked the altar, on which lay a cloth of antique Venetian lace owned by Mrs. Coblentz. On either side of the altar were tall seven-branched candelabra standards. 

The reception was held in the Louis Sherry room, which was decorated with pink peonies, mountain laurel and cybotium ferns. On the bride's table hung a cluster of white wedding bells, caught with narrow satin streamers that led to the white-iced wedding cake.

Elkus, Ambassador to Turkey during the World War, and Mrs. Elkus.
