A groomsman stands to the right of the bride and is wearing a two piece suit with cuffed trousers. He has a fob chain across the front of his jacket and a spray on his right lapel. The two flowergirls are dressed in white dresses with a coloured sash around the waist. They have white caps, stockings and shoes, and each carries a staff decorated with ribbons and flowers.
