Bride should chose
her diamonds early
Modern etiquette perm+nits ask-
ing the bride to help select her
amend .4:fft. This should be done
well in advance of the wedding
day, so she may consider it in
planni c her bridal attire.
Pendant, pin or earclips, her
amond jewelry can comple-
ment her gown, in design and
placement.
11 she chooses a gown with one
of the new high necklines, and the
gift is a pendant, the neck -chain
should be long enough to show her
diamond properly.
Pins re versatile, but this
season's bride may wish to dis-
play her diamond pin by center-
ing it in her headpiece.

Wedding cake
an old tradition
The Romans were among the
first to introduce the use of cake
at the ceremony. They broke
their salty-mealed cake over the
bride's head at the end of the
rites, and the crumbs were
gathered by guests as good -luck
tokens.
In 15th century England wed-
ding guests brought small -cakes
and put them in the center of the
table. Usually this created quite a
pile. The bride and groom then
tried to reach across the pile of
cakes and to kiss, without knock-
ing the pile over.
Later in France, a traveling
baker conceived the idea of icing
all the small cakes together into
one large impressive cake .
thus, we have today the tiered
wedding cake.
Today the caterer may not be
designated to make the wedding
cake. Frequently the bride,
sometimes with her maids and -or
their families, bake the cake and
the good things just a few days
before the wedding. This has
taken its place among theyleas-
ant pre -nuptial traditions which
many young people enjoy.
Making your own wedding
cake? Many brides do! Consul-
tants suggest you add garlands,
. stars, roses, and other pretty
things from the pastry tube, then
perhaps add doves and cupids, or
symbols of your own lifestyle and
beliefs.

Toclay's bridal gowns have
been inspired by the past
The traditional full-length
white gown donned by brides for
their journey down the aisle to
life happily ever after is as pre-.
dictable as the sun, moon and
stars, even for the mini -clad
hopefuls of the now generation.
The changes take place within
thescope of the traditional prere-
quisite - the long white gown.
The season -to -season fashion
determinant in traditioal bridal
gowns may be an inspiration
from past or present.
Thus guests at weddings may
rise to honor brides drifting down
the aisle in yards of billowing
lace, topped by a bolero effect.
Again, the center of attention
may be a modern medieval bride
whose gown displays a low scoop-
ed neckline, long snug sleeves
and high close bodice releasing
into fluid folds of floor -length
crepe, or a neo-Regftissance
bride whose richly embroidered
or brocaded gown has bell or bi-
shop sleeves and a standaway
collar — inspiration, the past.
Another way of achieving the
now touch for her tra tional
wedding gown might be as simple
as the use of this -season detailing
or her own accessorizing ideas —
her diamond wedding jewelry,
for instance.
A look at this -season details
indicates that bridal necklines
may be either the low scoop or
the highrise collar — the man-
darin, the circlet and the stand -
away.
Important sleeves include the
bishop, the bell and a hint of the
led o' mutton. Long, snug sleeves
often have Edwardian or bracelet
cuffs.
BRIDE'S BOUQUET
Flowers add
note of romance
Flowers have been a part of
weddings for centuries. They are
treasured for the beauty, color,
and wealth of tradition which
they bring to marriage cere-
monies of every size and descrip-
tion.
Worn or carried by every
member of the wedding party,
flowers provide a decorative
background for religious rites
and reception festivities alike. A
few well-placed flowers make the
most austere church or chapel
look festive and pretty and add an
aura of romance to the most
modest house or restaurant.
A bouquet of flowers is tra-
ditionally carried by the bride
and each of her attendants at all
but the most informal weddings.
It may be anything from a large
armload of flowers to a small
nosegay, but it should be scaled
to the bride's size and comple-
ment her dress.
For example, a loose cascade"
of feathered chrysanthemums
might be stunning for a tall bride
in a long flowing dress, but over-
powering to .a short girl with a
simpler look.
The bride's, bouquet may be
made of many flowers in many
colors, though it is best to choose
the natural hues of the flowers
(that is, violets instead of purple -
dyed carnations). Or one may
choose all white. traditionally
mixed with ivy and other greens.
According to florists, white
roses are the year-round favorite
of most brides. Orchids, carna-
tions, lilies of the valley and
gardenias are also popular bridal
flowers. Be sure to give the florist
a complete description of the
bridal dress including the silhou-
ette, length, neckline and sleeves
so he can recommend an ap-
propriate style for your bouquet.
Simplicity seems to be the key
for this year's bridal attendants,
who are choosing fewer parasols,
baskets of flowers and colonial
bouquets. Rather, sii`gle-stem
roses and orchids which match a
color in the bridesmaid's dress
are popular.
Most of the cost of wedding
flowers is in the labor. Each
flower must be individually wired
and wrapped for use in a bouquet
or cascade. If a bride decides to
carry an arm bouquet the cost
will be cut considerably because
the flowers will be loose with the
stems showing. Cascades are
slightly more expensive than
nosegays or bouquets. Flowers
for holiday weddings, such as
Christmas, Valentine's Day, and
Easter can be almost twice as
expensive as other times of the
year. Those holidays are tradi-
tionally big flower days, so labor
is at a premium.
Floral decorations fer the
church and reception hall are npt
as extensive as they once were.
One florist commented that by
the time a bride gets to the florist,
she has spent, so much money
already that she is trying to cut a
few corners.
Most florists can handle only a
certain number of weddings a
day, so they recommend booking
a wedding date at least a month
in advance of the wedding, and
more if the event is near a holi-
day or during the summer.
UTENSILS
What do you put
in new kitchen?
You are going to be a bride
soon?
You probably are wondering
what utensils you need for your
kitchen to serve your daily meals
and to prepare the special ones
for all the company you plan to
have.
The home economists at
General Mills' Kitchens have
given a lot of thought to your
problem and have come up with
some helpful suggestions.
Although they work in the world's
most codlpletely furnished kitch-
ens, their ideas are both practical
and economical.

somewhat by what you like to
serve but remember, as you cook
and entertain more, your cooking
repertoire will expand and so will
your utensil needs. Here is their
basic list:

dry measuring cups; liquid
measuring cup ..(one -cup size)-;
two sets measuring spoons;
flexible metal spatula. •
For Preparation — set of

Perfect for a happy honeymooner
BOUDOIR FASHION NOTE to make your honeymoon hap-
pier ... a famous designer's Secret Hug Long Gown of lush,
non -cling nylon crepe. tricot. The designer, Olga, fashions a
feminine stretch lace of nylon and spandex which romanti-
cally frames the square neckline, bodice and long
sleeves—perfect for cold winter nights and air-conditioned
summers. Blue or pink mist with white.
Matched pairs help solve space problems
;,-;i.:�i. •,3 .,,yifi.,E. t�.ct•''t2S?s?'rk •:fs 2 :,#:• } ;••.
FOR EVERY BRIDE LIMITED IN SPACE yet filled with dreams of a first home,
"matched pairs" solve many problems. Here, a loveseat faces an identical Hide -A -Bed
sofa. Great seating and a neat way to conceal a bed. It is suggested by the manufacturer's
designer, Douglas Sackfield, for a contemporary room spiked with white and natural. For
example, the floor is covered in economical sisal. One whole wall features units which pro-
vide storage, bookshelves, make a buffet, and even display a shell collection. A great glow
of color is the painting, a homemade collage of bright colored tissue paper.

Sleepwear and
daywear share
a softer look
Choosing lingerie is a matter of
choosing your own thing, for
looks and fabrics vary in both
daywear and sleepwear. But one
thing is sure: soft is the key word
to all the collections.
Start with daywear. The bra -
slip still reigns supreme — in
tricot and stabilized tricot; with
cups lightly padded or plain; in
colors from white and nude to
flaming red and forest green.
Some bra -slips end in panties —
slim, boxer style or romper -like
— to wear under pantsuits. There
also are pantliners, usually start-
ing low on the hips and ending in
cuffs banded with lace.
Pantliners, like pantie briefs,
may be topped with a camisole,
either of nylon banded with
ribbon and lace, or disguised as
the top of a tanksuit.
Soft outer clothes have brought
these soft underclothes, and the
duo -theme of freedom and ease
carries through into sleepwear.
SHEER 'N' SEXY
Besides opaque under-outers,
this season brings some of the
sexiest sleepwear in years. Some
of it is traditional, in the category
of sheer gown plus pretty
peignoir.
