Ashley Taylor Jones’ debut on a big stage
Thanks to Celeste Jones of Palm Beach, we snatched the chance to make a coming out announcement: Dec. 29, Ashely Taylor Jones, whose father, Harry Jones III , lives in Austin, will be presented at the International Debutante Ball at the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The event will benefit the U.S. Marines.
Jones comes to the big party with international polish. She attended Surval Mont-fleuri in Montreux and the American School, both in Switzerland. She had also graduated from the Palm Beach Day School and St. Andrew’s School. She’s currently enrolled in Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla.
How often do I report this kind of lineage: Jones is a Descendant of The Mayflower and a Daughter of the American Revolution. Her mother, bless her, is a protocol consultant and author of children’s manner books. She founded Elementary Etiquette Society of Palm Beach. (I could use a few lessons.) Jones pere’s family pioneered oil refinery technology in Texas.
Jones is pictured here in a Very Wang gown made of ivory silk satin with fitted bodice and full flowing skirt.
