Broad - shouldered? A bit thick in the middle? Whatever your figure type, there's a wedgy ding dress that's right for you, Mere are also wedding. dresses -that . are wrong for you, points out the Bride s Weg 'et'u (Conde Nast Publications). If you're short, says the planner, shop for dresses with neat seams or lace appliques that run lengthwise. Consider empire, princess or A-line dresses with small collars and cuffs and a trim neckline. Tall, slim women should look for dresses with a trim that wraps all around, wide belts, wide collars and cuffs, raglan or but- terfly sleeves, low necklines — both front and back — and flared or tiered skirts. Full -figured women should consider a carefully fitted princess line or loosely shaped style that just skims the body. Avoid fabrics that cling: Focus on gowns with slender sleeves, V- or U-shaped necklines, and graceful skirts with fullness at the front and sides. If you're thick in the middle, aim for the slimming effect of a lifted bodice and A-line skirt. Avoid thick sashes and tight waists. Broadshouldered? Look for dresses with set-in sleeves,low Vs or high covered necks. Shy away from puffed or leg o' mutton, sleeves, broad collars. Women with narrow shoulders are advis- ed to seek a gown with- a -bare or widely curved neckline, or to wear a cape or capelet. A broader look to the shoulders can also be achieved by sleeves that gather at the top. • Bosomy types should seek V-shaped, U- shaped, or high necklines and avoid cinched waists, empires that rise high under the bust, and clingy jerseys. If you're wide at the hips, let an A-line or gently flared skirt shin them. Balance the look by choosing a broad collarand puffy sleeves: Maids speak out •from page 6, . thoroughly, and at the rehearsal, give them plenty of time to walk through, their parts. Regarding their duties before the wedding, simply ask them for help when.you need it — in choosing your dress, addressing invita- tions, welcoming out-of-town guests — but remember that they're busy people too. • How the wedding affected the friend- ship. Many attendants complained that the bride became so involved in her plans that she seemed to lose; interest in her bridesmaids. Be sensitive to their needs. Show them you haven't changed as a person or as a friend just because you're getting married. Tradition •from page 15 Something blue: • The brides of Israel in ancient times wore a blue ribbon on the border of their fringed robes to denote puri- ty, fidelity and love. --Bride's-bouquet-Ancient Roman brides carried bunches of herbs under their wed- ding veils as symbols of fertility and fideli- ty. Lilies have long symbolized purity and roses have stood for love. Ivy, used at early Greek weddings as a sign of love, is still us- ed in wedding bouquets. Trousseau: From the French word, 'trousse," which means bundle, trousseau was originally the personal possessions a bride took to her new home and was later ex- panded to a more generous dowry.

It handles about 10,000 consultations a year, Stevens said, and she does about 3,000 of them. She said people are giving money even when they're not asked, or offer to pay for a part of the •wedding, such as the cake or flowers. Stevens added it's considered a "first wedding" even when the grom has been married before and regardless of the age of the bride. If the bride has been married previously, the only difference is that she must not wear white or a veil.
