Enlightening ways to decorate
A wonderful way to
brighten a wedding
reception: decorate with
candles.
Here are suggestions to
help create a romantic and
memorable atmosphere:
Try three or more
different size tapers in a
direct line down the center
of reception tables. Space
them two inches apart and
in a progressive height
sequence.
...deserve
one -of -a -kind treatment!
...preserve the memory forever.
Our special dry-cleaning process safely
recaptures and preserves
the wedding .day loveliness

wedding dress through,
give it ...

• Create a 'scent-sation':
use candles that perfume the
air with the fragrance of
flowers, food or your favorite
cologne.
• A shallow bowl with a
column candle placed in the
center of the table and
surrounded by fruit provides
a lovely, colorful centerpiece.
• A large piece of wood —
two inches thick — can be
drilled with 12 holes and
fitted with metal inserts to
hold a dozen slim taper
candles for an exciting
contemporary look.
Inexpensive wood can be
easily stained to complement
your table setting. Floral
greens may be added to
provide the finishing touch.
• For attractive
'placesetters,' put floating
candles in small brandy
snifters with a ribbon and
guest name tied to the stem.
Use your imagination
when decorating with
candles and you can add
special glow to your wedding
day.
Some suggestions for a
smooth receiving line
• You and your groom review the guest list with both
families to refresh your memory on names.
• Look over both your lists to remember the names of each
friend's husband or wife.
• Introduce yourself to guests you don't know.
• If you forget a name — which is easy to do — smile, thank
the person for coming, or apologize and ask to be reminded.
• Smile at everyone, shake hands, or give a hug and kiss to
those you know better.
• Gloves should not be worn.
• You may have ushers or waitstaff bring something to
drink for the guests in line.
• Go to the restroom or get a drink, if needed, before
forming the line, but do it quickly.
The language of flowers
Personalize your ceremony by including flowers with
special meaning. The buds you put in your bouquet or
arrangements can be subtle encouragement for a fulfilling
marriage.
