A- new sense of romance, wonder Fairy tales will be told anew this spring, according to a survey of bridal gown and wedding authorities. Handsome pnnces will meet their glowing princesses at the altars across America with a renewed faith in "hap- pily-ever-aftering. ' The number of brides-to- be searching for the perfect wedding gown has increased considerably over a few years ago, according to Michele Piccione, designer for the prestigious bridal gown house of Alfred Angelo. "Bridal shops and salons report young women shop- ping early and with cogsider- able taste," Piccione said. She believes that a new feel- ing of romance is indicated by the choice of wedding gown styles being selected. "Women can be women again and they are choosing styles with feminine touches of embroidery, Alencon lace, delicate chantilly lace and lots delicate lovely detailing that is both flattering and very, very special." Skirts and trains are fuller and longer. Bodices are trim- med with lace and can be softly revealing, off -the - shoulder demure. Sleeves are soft and puf- fed. uffed.

Select wedding dress with. instant pictures Selecting a wedding dress can be lots of fun if you don't let the multitude of styles overwhelm you. One way to keep each one straight in your head is with an instant camera. Take a batch of self -devel- oping color pictures as you try different gowns and headpieces, and you will be able to fan out views for a comparison of styles - in the privacy of your own home. Color pictures will help you decide the most. complimentary shade of white, and match the ap propriate veil or headpiece. A friend, family member or a sales clerk con do the picture -taking. A Koda- matic® 960L instant cam- era, with aim -and -shoot operation and built-in flash everytime, is ideal for the purpose. Even with the camera's ease -of operation, there are some picture -taking tips from Kodak experts for you to share with the per- son who does the shooting. • Stand only as far away as necessary to catch the full-length view of each ensemble. With the built-in electronic flash on the Kodamatic instant camera that is designed for subjects as far away as 12 feet. you should have a well -lighted picture that,shows impor- tant design details on the dress. • Then move in for a closer shot to get the details of the headpiece, veil and neckline of the dress. • Hold the camera rock steady and squeeze the shutter release slowly. This will help vou avert blurry pictures. • Stand at an angle if the picture is being taken in a dressing room to avoid catching a glare in the full- length mirror. Move outside the room if the quarters are too small to allow photo- graphing from another angle. Once the pictures are developed, be sure to write down the specifics in the margin of the print immedi- ately. Otherwise. you might find yourself saying once you get home.

JOHN AND I ARE ENGAGED!" — It's one of life's happiest moments — sharing your good news with your brat friend, and more than a million and a half young women will be doing exactly that in this coming year, reports the Jewelry Industry Council. More than 75 percent of first time hides receive a diamond engagement ring and more than 50 percent of second time brides also Beal their engagement with a diamond. Diamonds for the love "He love nic!" — That's what that hc;wtiful sparkling diamond engagement ring says, observe the Jewelry industry Council. And one of the most happy moments the engaged woman enjoys is showing her new ring to her friends. It's traditional. and it's all part of the "feminine mystique" -- this sharing of joys with your closest friends. • This year. that scene will be enacted more than a mil- lion and a half times as new brides -to -he proudly exhibit their diamonds. Time was when the typ- ical diamond ring was round and. although that is still the most popular shape. couples today have a choice ot round, or brilliant cut. emer- ald cut. boat-sh•tpcd or mar- quise. oval. or pear-shaped. In addition, some of the newest rings arc set in a round shape with many small diamonds. The average young man spends roughly Iwo months' salary or more on a ring, and often the couple select the , ring together at their favorite jeweler's. • Value of a specific dia- mond is based upon what the jewelry trade calls the 4 C's — meaning cut. color. clarity and carat weight.

So.i THE BAHAMAS — This beautiful Country of 700 Islands is a tropical treasureland for two. It's a rainbow of places that enable honeymooners to find paradise and take it in the palm of their hands. Horseymoons are here to stay! Do couples getting mar- ried still take ahoneymoon? Or it just an old-fashioned custom that's gone the way of songs rhyming "June" with "moon"? The blissful wedding trip is more popular than ever, says Bride's maga- zine. In response to a June, 1981, survey conducted by Bride's, 99.3 percent of its readers said they were in the midst of planning a honey- moon. "The wedding could be large or small, the couple rich or poor, this is one group of travelers that packs its bags no matter what," says Marcia Vickery, Bride's Travel Editor. The Bride's survey shows that modern honeymooners travel further (an average of 1,817 miles) and spend more money than in former times, probably due to the fact that today's newlyweds are older and better educated. About two-thirds travel within the United States (California, Florida, and Pennsylvania are the top- ranking states), while the rest venture abroad. The typical couple stays away about eight days, although 12 percent travel for two full weeks or more. Why is the honeymoon so indispensable? Partly because it's a tradition and, therefore, expected. But also because it's necessary. There's a lot of stress in- volved in preparing for a wedding. A honeymoon gives a couple a chance to re- lax and wind down. It also seems to provide a needed psychological transition between being single and married. Beyond this, though, its purpose has changed some- what over the years. The popular image of a honey- moon is of a special time when a just -marred couple go off for a "getting -to - know -you" period of total privacy. While privacy and ro- mance are still on the list of honeymooners' desires, new special trends— such as liv- ing together before marriage — have brought a different emphasis: Today, fewer couples are choosing to take the sort of honeymoon where they spend a week or so alone in an isolated cabin in the woods. instead, they prefer more action: resorts that include sports, entertain- ment, and gourmet food and locations that have plenty of sights to see. Touch of cream adds touch ofclacss to bride's cooking Just because your wed- ding reception is over doesn't mean that your cel- ebrating days are over. Now that you are married. you will probably be more ,eager than ever to share your happiness with family and friends.
