Attention to detail makes brides perfect
Careful planning has
always made for the most
beautiful and memorable
weddings. Attending to de-
tails is part of the pleasure
for the smart bride. Alfred
Angelo Bridals has created
marvelous calendars and
bridal planners that make the
planning so much simpler,
with built-in check -lists and
references.
Required reading
The best book on the sub-
ject is Your Wedding, How To
Plan and Enjoy It by Nancy
Piccione and published by
Random House. Michele
Piccione. designer of mag-
nificent wedding gowns for
Alfred Angelo, says, "The
bride must be aware of the -
vital importance of choosing
accessories to complete the
picture she wants to make
for a memorable wedding
day."
Organizer
She suggests that you
make a list of what you think
makes a complete ensemble,
FRILLY ACCESSORIES to complete bridal attire by Tina
Michele, a division of Alfred Angelo.
and then discuss it with your
bridal consultant. The list
should include (from the top,
down) headpiece or hat and
veil, gloves, the item or
items you wish to carry —
flowers, parasol, fan —
then, crinolines, hosiery,
and shoes. (Almost all can
be found with the "Tina
Michele" label.)
A beautiful gown requires

the desired shape and full -

ness. Ms. Piccione advises
brides to select their head-
pieces when they choose
their gown. Alfred Angelo
gowns all have a beautifully
coordinated headpiece.
Finishing touches
A garter is important at
many weddings (as is a pil-
low for your ring bearer!).
What agrand feeling to walk
down the aisle knowing
every detail is perfect.
BRIDAL BEAUTY IN SHORT — An eye-catching and practical alternative to the tradi-
tional wedding gown is an extra -pretty lacy blouse worn with a matching skirt. Here, two
romantic and elegant ideas from Lila'e spring '83 collection. Left, cotton blend blouse
has a flattering geometric eyelet cape collar. it's worn with a full drop waist taffeta skirt.
The tucked fabric blouse (a cotton blend), right, boasts all-over floral lace with delicate
scalloped edges. It's worn with a matching skirt. All pieces are available in both misses and
petite Sizes.
A spirited toast to the newlyweds
At Polish weddings, luck
comes to the bride who can
drink a goblet of wine with-
out spilling a drop. In early
America, newlywed couples
drank a concoction of sack
posset, hot spiced milk, and
brew to give them energy for
the night ahead!
in many cultures — and
throughout history — liquor
and wine have played a big
part in weddings. Even in the
United States today a cele-
bration isn't complete until
the guests have raised their
glasses in a wish for the
health and happiness of the
newly united couple.
To ensure that the
"spirit" lives on, Bride's
magazine gives couples tips
for providing liquor at their
wedding:
• Decide what you'll serve.
First, pick a drink for toast-
ing. Champagne is a wed-
ding classic, but many
marriages have been saluted
with sparkling cider, bub-
bling punch or white wine.
Next, decide whether
you'll offer this beverage
alone throughout the recep-
tion or also have an open
bar. It will dcp_nd largely on
the type of party you have —
an afternoon cake and punch
reception doesn't call for
anything else while an even-
ing dinner dance might.
• Sample everything ahead
of time. Especially try out the
punch (a great -sounding rec-
ipe may not turn out exactly
as you hoped). it should be
ice cold and not too sweet to
go best with the cake.
• Determine how much
you'11 need. You can make
sure the drinks last as long as
the festivities by counting on
each guest having two drinks
the first hour, one morc
every hour after that. Gener-
ally, the tater in the day your
reception, the more guests
will drink.
• Place chink tables strate-
gically so that drinkers and
non-drinkers mix easily.
Have waiters circulate with
drink choices — or have
loth alcoholic and non-alco-
holic beverages at all serving
points.
• Keep a clear head — and
make sure your guests do
too. Ask your bartender to
"mix Tight" when he feels
it's necessary. Serve some
food -- perhaps finger sand-
wiches or hot hors d'oeuvres
— to curb the effect of the
alcohol. Be sure to offer
plenty of good strongcoffee
before your guests head
homeward.
incidentally. says Bride's,
a couple's wedding is only
the first of many "toasting"
occasions to come. They can
prepare from now to cele-
brate their first anniversary
or new home by asking for
wine and spirits as wedding
presents. it's made easy by
the new liquor Gift Regis-
tries popping up in liquor
stores around the country.
Through these Registries,
couples can list their favorite
brands of liquor and wine for
guests to select from — in
much the same way that they
register for china or silver at
their local department store.

day you're sure

TIME AND ENERGY SAVER — Useful "Kitchen Center"
appliance by Oster makes food preparation a breeze. Ideal
gift for newlyweds.
Multi-purpose appliance
is ideal for newlyweds
A multi-purpose appliance
makes a great gift for the new
bride and groom because it is
versatile enough to meet
almost any food preparation
demand.
The Oster "Kitchen Cen-
ter" brand food preparation
appliance comes as five
appliances in one: a blend-
er, mixer, food grinder,
doughmaker and sli-
cer/shredder/salad maker.
Well suited to that "fust"
apartment, this multi-pur-
pose appliance saves space
in the kitchen where a lim-
ited.counter top area is an
important consideration. It
is also a practical and versa-
tile gift because optional
accessories may be added to
meet the newlyweds' partic-
ular food preparation needs
and wants.
Optional accessories
include a citrus juicer, can
opener, ice crusher, sausage
making kit, juice extractor,
puree accessory and more.
Now, at a fraction of the
cost of a pasta making ma-
chine, a new pasta accessory
can be added to the "Kit-
chen Center" appliance,
making it even more versa-
tile than ever:
Homemade pasta
The new pasta accessory
includes five pasta discs and
all the tools you'll need to
turn your home into a pasta
factory in no time! You can
enjoy the unmatched flavor
of fresh pasta in five shapes:
Thin Spaghetti, Thick Spa-
ghetti, Fettuccini, Rigatoni
and Lasagne.
The "Kitchen Center"
appliance Pasta Accessory
turns a previously time-con-
suming task into a snap. No
more rolling and cutting .. .
your machine does all of the
hard work. And good news:
the pasta accessory will also
fit the Oster Meat/Food
Grinder!
Use the fresh pasta you
make with a variety of rec-
ipes Wee Fettuccini Alfredo,
Spaghetti with. Pesto Sauce,
Italian Tuna Salad, Lasagne,
rtavioli, and Spaghetti with
Homemade Tomato Sauce.
It's easy to make traditional
Italian favorites or everyday
pasta dishes like noodle cas-
seroles, soups, pasta salads,
and more!
Savory ideas
A variety of basic recipes
can be found in the Recipe/
Instruction booklet packed
with the Oster Pasta Acces-
sory. Included are recipes
for semolina pasta, all-pur-
pose flour pasta, spinach
pasta and even tomato pasta.

cious recipe from Oster,

Classic flatware sets
a memorable table
Classic — it's a word
heard by the bride and
groom -to -be at least once a
day. But classic hai an
important meaning for young
couples happily facing a long
life together, especially when
it comes to table -top furnish-
ings. The china, crystal and
silverware patterns they
choose at the beginning of
that life will last for many
years beyond.
"How can we tell whether
or not a pattern is classic?"
That question is often asked
of bridal registrars by young
couples. Veronica Williams,
the bridal consultant for
Reed & Barton Silversmiths,
explains.
"A classic pattern is one
that never goes out of style.
The shell, the acanthus leaf,
the 'Chippendale flair' — all
(nese (resigns nave SUI V.veu
their initial period of popular-
ity for decades and even cen-
turies.
Some of them are given
modern interpretations,
while others, like that of
'Winterthur,' Reed & Bar-
ton's newest silverplated
flatware pattern, are repro-
ductions of pieces from
famous museums and
antique coliections.
"'Winterthur' is a good
example of the way a classic
design lives on," says Mrs.
Williams. "The fiddle
shaped handle is reproduced
from an early nineteenth
century fork on display in
Henry Francis Du Pont's
renowned Winterthur
Museum collection.
"Similar patterns, using
the shell motif, have been
popular in silver work since
the early 1700s. And Reed &
Barton has consistently used
the shell in at least one of its
flatware patterns for almost
one hundred years.
"Many couples are afraid
of the word 'reproduction,"
remarks Mrs. Williams.
"They think it means some-
thing cheap or poorly made.
The truth is, if they spend a
little time and care choosing
reproduction pieces, they
needn't be concerned about
poor quality or craftsman-
ship. And, with a reproduc-
tion, they can be assured of a
classic."
Mrs. Williams offers a few
hints to young couples
selecting a flatware pattern:
• Preferences. Decide
first if you like intricate,
richly ornamented patterns
or simple, elegant lines.
Does your pattern choice
blend well with your china
and crystal preferences?
• Authenricity. Most clas-
sic patterns are based on
designs first introduced cen-
turies ago. Modern versions
of these patterns should be
accurate in their portrayal of
the originals.
• Detail. Any flatware
pattern, from stainless to
sterling, should be finely
detailed. Look carefully at
individual pieces in the pat-
terns you like. Are the shells
or roses well-defined?
Are handles evenly
formed and fork tines
smooth and straight? If the
handle is outlined with a
thread or beading, is it strong
and evenly placed along the
edge?
WHEN CHOOSING FLATWARE for your new life
together, look for a fine product with a guarantee of dura-
bility and craftsmanship, and choose a classic pattern that
will provide lasting beauty.
