.Lucky is the spring and summer bride of 1971,
for she has picked a season in which anything
goes, fashion -wise.
Everything from peasant dresses to short shorts
will be worn by brides this season, much to the
demise of most of their -mothers.
Bridal clothing designers, realizing that the
girls of this new decade are not content to let

signed boutique lines specifically• to, eater to
the independent bride.
NOT THAT mothers are wrong, . .. they often-
times aren't, but the designers have recently
learned to cater to the bride rather than the
bride's mother.
The boutique lines from several,•Well-known
collections are generally lower in'pric.e than the
standard designs,' but they are also more
fashionable. Some ,say that wedding • dresses
never go out of style. But because, one wears
it only once, that would 'seem''to be an all -
right „situation.,
Colors have become an important' look in the
bridal gown industry. The. palest pinks,
lavenders and 'yellows are popular colors which
peep out from behind layers of • organza.
Embroi.dered fabrics have become popular, but
mainly in bridesmaids' dresses.
THE MOST popular headpiece for spring and
surRner appears to be the kerchief tied beneath
the chin in a beguiling and romantic manner.
Real flowerheaddresses` are regaining 'their
popularity also, M
With the peasant or ethnic influence a strong
one in the fashion industry',, it stands to' reason
that it has penetrated the bridal fashion busi-
ness also.
The weskits, tiers art'd'pinafo.res forbrides are
all' a part of that movement. i Also, cotton ma
terials such as sheer voile and eyelet laces
have been used in gowns in most of the major
bridal lines.
More daring brides may want to show up at
their on -the -beach weddings in a white crepe.

and bare feet. Have no'fear, traditionalists, the
traditional bridal apparel is still selling well.
