The Huron Expositor, 1995-02-22, Page 63Wine and cheese shower can help stock the couple's bar From 22D WINE ANO QNEESE DOWER This shower proves to be a good way to stock the wedding couple's bar. Find out if the couple's preference runs to red or white wines, and ask each guest to bring two gift bottles of the same wine. One is gift -wrapped, with a gift card attached. The other is used for the wine -tasting activity. Since wine is not a lasting gift, guests may wish to bring an additional, wine -related item. Possible selections include a carafe, a corkscrew, a wine -making kit of a good wine book. Planning this shower around the cocktail hour should be enough to lure your guests. But if you feel the need for more enticement, how about designing a mock wine label invitation? Bring on each wine and cheese selection as a set, one set at a time. Rinse glasses between tastings. For refreshment variety, also serve crusty French bread or crackers with fresh fruit slices. Wednesday, February 22, 1995 -PAGE 23D Selecting the dress that flatters you best . Once you have determined the price and formality of the gown, you will want to find one to flatter your figure. Here are some suggestions to help you find the perfect dress: • If you're short (under 514") a high neckline with an empire waist will make you look taller, as will a short- or long-sleeved dress with long gloves. The veil should not be longer than floor- or chapel - length. • If you're tall (over 5'9"), a drop waist with a wide belt and trim or ruffles that wrap around the dress will take away the 'all -legs' look. Off -the -shoulder, low necklines with billowy sleeves are also good. Hata or dramatic veiling are striking and will not overpower you. • If you're average height and weight (5'6" to 5'8"), you're lucky and can get away with almost anything you'd like. You may want to select something which makes you look either shorter or taller, depending on the groom's height. • If you're slender, you're the one everyone envies. You can add a few pounds by selecting a heavier fabric such as velvet, satin or moire.

Stay away from lacy ruffles, clingy fabrics and puffed sleeves. • If you're large -busted, a V- shaped shaped or high neckline with a keyhole yoke is usually the most flattering. Avoid empire or cinched waists, as they accentuate large breasts. • If you have wide hips, this common problem can be disguised with a flared skirt or A-line dress. The wide bottom may be balanced by a broad collar, puffed sleeves or a hat. up, tta//tta6' /tffete dO/',Oa,' Sibeefit/Wag • Air Conditioning • Modern Kitchen Facilities • Seating for up to 250 • Catering Available at Reasonable Rates For more information call Head Bar Steward - Don Sootheran 482-3554 (Mornings) Clinton Legion Branch140 Kirk St., Clinton weddings & flowers... rt Nil titat Walking down the aisle sboutd be a memorable experience. .et us make .it even mare beautiful, Unique designs for the bridal party, reception & church: Appointments are appreciated. •ver. 65 years of serving the area.
