Emergency spot cleaning, for your gown
It's every bride's nightmare: You're
wearing your dream wedding dress and so-
meone accidentally splashes you with salad
dressing or douses you with wine. BRIDE'S
Magazine has this advice to make sure a
wedding -day spill doesn't ruin your bigmo-
ment:
• Learn about your dress fabric
beforehand. Ask your salon owner or
salesperson what material your dress is
made of and cleaning hints for it.
• Act fast to keep a stain from setting.
Don't rub the spill or expose it to extreme
heat — instead, a few quick blots will take
care of the worst of the problem. What to
blot with? That depends on the'stain.
• Fight water soluble stains with water.
Champagne,wine, perspiration, beverages
are common water-soluble spills. Their
cure: Put a towel under the fabric and blot
top with a damp cloth, preferably wrung out
in a light solution of white vinegar or
detergent and water.

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 toasting. Champagne is a wedding
classic, but many marriages have been
saluted with sparkling cider, bubbling
punch or white wine.
Next, decide whether you'll offer this
beverage alone throughout the reception or
also have an open bar. It will depend largely
on the type of party you have — an afternoon

• Place drink tables so that drinkers and
non-drinkers mix easily. Have waiters._cir-
culate with drink choices -- or `have both
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at all
serving points.
• Keep a clear head — and make sure your
guests do too: iSk your bartender to "mix

Serve some food — perhaps finger sand-
wiches or hot hors -d'oeuvres •— to curb the
effect of the alcohol. Be sure to offer plenty
