Jacqueline Bouvier married John Fitzgerald Kennedy on September 12, 1953. She was 24, he 36. The ceremony was held at St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The bride wore an ivory silk taffeta gown created by Anne Lowe, an African-American designer from Alabama. Jackie's wedding dress was a ball gown of ivory silk taffeta with a huge round skirt. It featured a portrait neckline and a bouffant skirt, decorated with tiny flowers. The wedding dress required 50 yards of ivory silk taffeta and to Anne Lowe two months to make.
The full bouffant skirt had interwoven tucking bands and tiny wax flowers. Her grandmother’s heirloom rose point lace veil was attached to her hair with orange blossoms amid a tiara of lace. Her jewelry was simple… and expensive: a perfect strand of pearls from her family, a diamond leaf pin from her new in-laws, and a diamond bracelet given to her by the groom the evening before the wedding. Her engagement ring, from Van Cleef & Arpels, was comprised of a 2.88 carat diamond and a 2.84 carat emerald with tapered baguettes.
Jackie's 10 bridesmaids wore pink silk faille gowns with Tudor caps. Lee Bouvier Canfield (sister) was the matron-of-honor and the flower girl was Janet Auchincloss. Other bridal attendants were Nancy Tuckerman, Martha Bartlett, Shirley Oakes, Aileen Travers, Sylvia Whitehouse, Ethel Skakel Kennedy, Jean Kennedy and Helen Spaulding.
Jackie Kennedy's bridal spray of 1953 was a bouquet of white and pink spray orchids with gardenias. The church was decorated with pink gladioli and white chrysanthemums. The Kennedy newly weds departed after a wedding lunch reception under a shower of paper-rose petals.
The 750 guest headcount at the ceremony mushroomed to a mindboggling 1200 at the reception, held at her stepfather’s waterside estate, Hammersmith Farm. The receiving line alone lasted over two hours.
They spent the night at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, then honeymooned for two weeks in Acapulco, Mexico, where the future President of the United States caught a ten foot sailfish that later decorated a wall in the White House.
