Helen Hindman married Donald
Gard Nov. 14, 1945, at Kingston
Road United Church, Toronto.
The bride's gown, modelled by
Kirsten Baldwin, is of blush ivory
satin with a dropped waist and
full skirt with appliqued lace
panels extending into a cathedral
train. The bodice has a
sweetheart neckline and small
satin buttons down the front of
the bodice and back closure.
The long fitted sleeves are
pointed at the wrist and trimmed
in lace. Three satin bands
trimmed with waxed orange
blossoms holds her full-length
illusion veil. She wore ivory satin
sandals and her bouquet was
roses, shading from cream to
deep pink. The wedding party
consisted of three bridesmaids in
deep raspberry velvet., and
carrying bouquets of roses. The
flowergirl was dressed in pink
and carried a nosegay.

What should
parents of
bride and
groom wear?
The parents of the bride
and groom, while not usually in
the wedding party, are, by
protocol and their very
important status, required to
dress appropriately for the
occasion.
Mothers of the bride
and groom can shop for their
outfits as soon as the bride has
chosen her gown and decided
on the theme colour for her
wedding. They are not required
to adhere to the theme colour,
but would be wise to choose
shades that do not clash.
As a rule, neither black
nor white are considered good
choices for mothers.
The short dress is
correct for an informal daytime
wedding, while a short or long
evening dress is suggested for a
semi -formal evening wedding. In
the case of a formal evening
wedding, a long dress is the call.
The later in the day the
wedding is held, the dressier the
mothers' gowns can be.
For the sake of
uniformity, the bride's father
wears the same as the other
men in the wedding party, if he
will be standing in the receiving
line.
Otherwise, for a formal
evening wedding, he should
wear white or black tie, and for
a semi -formai or an informal
wedding, a business suit will
serve.
The breakdown of the
traditional family has spawned
some new roles, particularly for
mothers of the bride. Sometimes
a bride will honour her mother
with the role of matron of
honour. Often, a mother will
give her daughter in marriage.
When the officiating
person asks who gives the bride
in marriage, the mother
responds 'I do.' If she is not in
the wedding party, she may
respond to this question from
her pew.
There is a growing
trend for the parents of the bride
and groom to stay in the front
hall or just outside the church or
synagogue to receive guests
informally as they arrive for the
ceremony.
Fathers may, but seldom
do, stand in receiving lines. Most
prefer to play host and circulate
among the guests.
