"SERVICE AND QUALITY GUARANTEED"
Many brides prefer having,
their reception at home because
of the special pleasure derived
from gathering family and
friends in intimate and familiar
surroundings.
Every bride, of course, en-
visions the reception table prop-
erly and handsomely decorated.
And candles invariably play an
important part in the decor
scheme.
Decorations for afternoon and
evening weddings should be
centered on white flowers, in-
cluding smilax or other greens.
The tablecloth should be white;
except that if it is a second wed-
ding the cloth can be in the
bride's favorite color.
Dual purpose
"Candles in silver or crystal
candlesticks should be used
extravagantly both as decoration
and to light the table," says
Donald Mowry, candle expert at
Hallmark Cards. "Well polished
brass holders also serve to
reflect the gleam of crystal and
silver flatware and create an ele-
gant effect." Y.
Tapers especially designed for
weddings come in a variety of
shapes and sizes — tall, short,
fat, thin. Among them is the Man-
tilla, a candle with a lacy effect in
silver -and -white, gold -and -white
or, white -on -white. Another
comes in a wedding bell design;
all are in pure 'white tones.
Center of attraction
A charming decorative touch
can be achieved, says Mowry, by
placing the bride's bouquet in the
center of the table and surround-
ing it by candlesticks holding
lighted candles. Or, a centerpiece
arrangement might be a bowl of
white flowers with candles on
either side. . Small prettily
packaged gifts .for members of
Wedding candles: These Classic Marble -candles by Hallmark
add a rich touch of elegance to the bridal feast. The candles are
available in two sizes, six and nine inches tall.
the wedding party can be added
to the table ,setting.
Another idea
Another arrangement might be
a rectangular mirror at the
table's center. In one corner, ar-
range three small candle holders.
In each, set white tapers of var-g
ious heights, the tallest not over
seven inches. Place two candles,
slightly shorter than the others,
in the mirror's opposite corner.
"Candlelight, with its luxuriant
effect, can be enjoyed by every-
one, poor and rich alike," Donald
Mowry points out. "One young
bride married in the Caribbean
purchased her wedding candles
in New York. She was more than
happy to pay the extra baggage
fees on two dozen heavy gold -and -
white marbleized candles saying,
"they set the entire tone of my
wedding and reception.' "
Bride's laundry workload eases.
with compact washer and dryer
To the new bride, washing
clothes may seem a lot 'less
glamorous than preparing a man -
pleasing meal, but it is im-
portant. When your husband
needs a clean shirt for a meeting,
he„needs it now, not next week.
Obviously laundry is a lot
easier'' if 'the at3jiliances are in
your own apartment. That avoids
trips down to the • laundry room
every time you wash:
And, because washers and
dryers designed for home use
have special -care cycles not
usually found on coin -op models,
knitted. garments, Perma-Press
linens and delicate items can be
given the special care they need.
Even if your first home is -a
small apartment, there's
probably room for a compact
laundry. All you need is 241/2
inches of floor space for a por-
table washer and a compact
dryer mounted on a stack stand.
You can keep those honeymoon
clothes and,new household linens
looking fresh with a portable
washer. This new compact has
agitator wash action, just like big
machines, and four cycles -
Permanent Press, Knit -Delicate,
Normal and Short.
Fill ,and drain hoses are
combined onto a faucet connector
that can be attached to a faucet

A new suspension system,
design I especially for this
small -size washer, made it
possible to have an extra fast spin
speed — 850 rpm instead juf the
usual 550 rp. This improves water
extraction and allows faster
drying.
To complete laundry, select
one of the compact dryers. If
there is a window in which 'a vent
can be used, you could choose
either a 240 -volt electric dryer or
a gas model. Both dry as fast as
full-size units.
Where venting is a problem, a
120 -volt dryer may be best. It
needs no installation -- just plug
it in and start drying.
Both washer and dryers are
only 24 inches, wide. With a new
stack stand, which is 241/2 inches
wide you can have a laundry al-
most t anywhere.
To complement the apartment
decor, choose the appliances in
copper, avocado, tawny gold or
white.
Create elegant dining enviro
with fine china, sparklin
Mecham* cesof today's bride are
many. From wedding ring; to
pots and pans, bridal fashions to
bed linens, the name of the gatue
is deciding and selecting, all
intended. to, 'create an en-
vironment that reflects your new
lifestyle.
In all of these choices; don't
overlook tableware, says Charles
Solt, a design director for the.
Lenox China Company, because
china, crystal and silver are the
means of creating a pleasing,
happy dining environment.
"There's a special kind of
elegance ;that abounds when a
table is set, with fine china,
gleaming crystal and silver,"
said Mr. Solt. "An aura of
romanticism is created that is
hard to duplicate. Yet, fine china
and` crystal are so versatile they
fit in with all your entertaining
needs."
Today's bride is lucky because
the varied selection of china,
silver and crystal makes it
possible to set a table according
to her own individual taste.
This great variety, however,
may be confusing to new brides,
added Mr. Solt, an excellent
reason to get the advice of a
Wedding Gift Registry Con-
sultant at your favorite store.
Wedding Gift Registries have
one or more consultants who are
there specifically to help you
determine your tableware needs.
The consultant can ' give you
top-notch advice on selecting fine
china and informal dinnerware
as well as coordinating crystal
and flatware.
Often, just having an . ex-
perienced consultant suggest
china and crystal patterns you
never thought wouldgo together
opens up a whole new way of
thinking. She can also help you
select a color scheme for your
table, tell you what is new, and
fill you in on the latest trends.
The Wedding Gift Registry is a
free •service offered by most
department and jewelry stores.
Once a girl registers her gift
preferences with a particular
store, the Registry keeps an up-
to-date record of what gifts have
been purchased, avoiding dup-
lication.-

People want to give you what

gift preferences — appliances,

accessories as well as tablewares
and linens — is a convenient way
for people to find out what you
need.
The bridal consultant will be
able to tell you the qualities to
look for when choosing fine china
and crystal. It is a smart idea,
though, to have a few facts in
mind about whet to look for be-
fore starting to shop. Here are
some shopping tips:
—Be aware of the many. fine
.china and crystal patterns
available and select those that
reflect you and your fiance's
individuality.
—Know that fine china is
translucent' when held up to the
light and crystal has a clear, bell-
like ring when tapped.
—Buy place settings of china
and crystal. Fine china is
available in three-piece Buffet -

five -piece Complete Place Set-
ting which. has a salad -dessert
plate and a butter plate. A three-

—Buy open stock fine china and

pieces as needed. . . -
'Easy care' lifestyle ioffketting
new bride's day-to-day housework
In 1974, more brides will go
from altar to • office than ever
before in the history of woman.
What's the one strong link
between contemporary ,Ms. and
her home -bound . predecessors?
HOUSEWORK.
Maintaining clean and com-
fortable living quarters is still a
strong female imstinct despite
the fact that today's bride might
spend more time outside her
home than in it. And the
password to that outside world is
easy care, a new way of living
geared to simplify day-to-day
chores.
More brides hold jobs
Since most new brides — 78
percent says a recent Bride's
Magazine Survey — intend to
work full-time as well as keep
house during their first year of
marriage, easy materials will
probably fill a large portion of the
new home.
Considering all the so-
phisticated appliances now
available, coupled with easy -to -
care -for furniture and fabrics,
housekeeping has been relegated
to parttime work. And that's ap-
parently the way modern woman
wants it.
Furniture manufactures have
designed functional pieces which
afford a maximum of esthetics
with a minimum of care. Among
the modern materials are vinyls,
Shower of deas for prospective bride
sparked by versatile paper products
If you're looking for a different
idea in bridal showers, take a hint
from a versatile product we use
for reading, writing, greeting,
eating, and delighting our eyes:
paper.
A paper shower not only gives
you a colorful potential for decor;
but a host of gift ideas the pride
will find uncommonly helpful
Shower with cards
Among the shower gifts sug-
gested are things every home-
maker uses but rarely stocks up
in advance. For example, the
bride who finds she has a supply
of cards for most major oc-
casions on hand will thank you
each time she uses one.
The year-round card supply
should include get -well cards,
graduation cards, cards that can
take almost any message,
congratulation cards that can be
used for almost any event of note.
Of course you'll try to select
cards that suit the bride's taste,
and you'll find a tremendous
selection to choose from in both
the contemporary and traditional
moods.
Another gift for year-round use
are colorful wrappings ap-
propriate to any occasion. Select
solid papers or foils with con-
trasting ribbons, matching tags
and bows.
The gift package should con-
tain rolls and sheets the bride can
use for everything from birthday
gifts to special occasion presents.
A third paper possibility is a set
of party goods, indluding paper
cloth, place cards, and even a
centerpiece that will come in
handy for one of the bride's first
casual parties.
Some of the paper series
figures also star on ceramic
plates and other handsome ac-
cessories for the home, so the
party the bride creates with
paper could inspire a permanent
collection.
Wall decor
You'll find nostalgic decoupage
kits the brid'e with a steady hand
can turn into lovely wall decora-
tions.
Another gift of paper that will
help the bride through post -wed-
ding niceties are -packets of writ-
ing paper with distinetive designs
she can immediately put to use
for thank you `notes.
plastics, simulated furs and
suedes, steel, glass and chrome.
Natural fibers like canvas,
hemp, wicker and rush are
popular textures for furniture
and accessories — a cinch to take
care of, too:
Having a dependable vacuum
cleaner will make for easier care
and extend the wear of her rugs
or carpets and other new fur-
nishings.
To maintain her floor
coverings, regular vacuuming is
a must. A 'rug can hold prac-
tically its own weight in dirt, and
still look clean on the surface.
v.
Vacuum simplifies cleaning
In . fact, the entire, home
cleaning process will be sim-
plified if the new bride opts for a
good vacuum cleaner to do much
of her work. Some of the current
models have been designed to
replace sundry other tools in the
house.
Power combo
The current trend in new
dwellings is to use more space for
Tess furniture, rather than crowd
p room with many occasional
pieces. The end result describes
modern living fortoday's
newlyweds: Space to spread out
and feel free.
