Careful planing has
always made for the most
beautiful and memorable
weddings. Attending to
details is part of the pleasure
for the smart bride.
The bride must be aware
of the vital importance of
choosing accessories to com-
plete the picture she wants to
make for a memorable wed-
ding day.
Orgaudae!
Make a list of what you
thunk makes a complete
ensemble, and then discuss
it with your bridal consul-
tant. The list should include
( from the top, down) head-
piece or hat and veil, gloves,
the item or items you wish to
carry — flowers, parasol,
fan — then crinolines,
nto
etail
hosiery, and shoes.
A beautiful gown requires
the right crinoline to give it
the desired shape and
fullness. Brides should select
their headpieces when they
choose their gown.
A garter is important at
many weddings (as is a
pillow for your ring
bearer !) . What a grand feel-
ing to walk down the aisle
knowing every detail is
perfect.
Hel.ful we in planning
suggestions for older - ride
Anyone who believes that
all brides are young and
blushing should consider
these facts: today, one fifth
of all women getting mar-
ried for the first time are
over 25. Of these, one third
are in their 30s, 40s or older.
Whatever their separate
reasons for delaying mar-
riage — whether to pursue a
profession or simply to live
independently for awhile —
once they do decide to go
ahead with it these older
brides generally have this
question: "What kind of
wedding is right at my age?"
Bride's magzine has some
advice for this group of
brides.
Many older brides prefer
small ceremonies with only
family and close friends at-
tending, but it's perfectly
okay to choose any size
ceremony you like.
If you're like most older
brides, you'll have only a
maid or matron of honor,
rather than a whole proces-
sion of bridesmaids, but
again this is up to you. In
either case, don't overlook
the possibility of asking
young relatives to be flower
girls or ring bearers.
TIff
What about the question off
being "given away?" This
ritual can easily be omitted
if it makes you feel uncom-
fortable. But if you would
like to be given away, and
your father is not alive or
able to do so, feel free to ask
any male relative or usher to
perform the role.
Whatever size your
ceremony, your reception
may be as large and lavish
as you wish. Invite friends,
relatives, business
associates.
If certain reception
customs such as throwing
the bouquet or tossing rice
seem a little "young" to you,
leave them out. But,
remember, everyone
generally enjoys the tradi-
tional cake cutting and
toasting.
As for the invitations, for
a very small wedding, invite
guests in person or by
telephone — or write them a
personal note. If you'll invite
more than 50 guests, a more
formal invitation is best.
For a large wedding that
you and your groom sponsor
yourselves, use this wor-
ding: "The honour of your
presence is requested at the
efunding is profita
T play you see more and
more people shopping in the
supermarkets with a wad of
redeemable coupons.
Shopping with coupons has
gone beyond saving a few
cents. Rising supermarket
prices have made it a
necessity, but have you ever
wondered how profitable it
can be?
le
You may be a casual
coupon clipper but, for many
people, refunding has
become a profitable home
business which they run
from the kitchen table.
Top refunders can save up
to a; percent of their grocery
bill each month. If their
grocery bill is $500 each
month and they receive $450
marriage of Miss Martha
Smith to Mr. Vincent
Rogers, etc."
Feel perfectly free to
wear a long, lacy white wed-
ding dress if this is what
you've always imagined
you'd do as a bride. If this
isn't you, consider off-white,
ivory, cream or the palest
pastels such as lavender or
sea -green.
A sleek style, such as a
gently flaring or softly -
gathered skirt with a simple
bodice and matching jacket,
is most attractive. Your
dress can be long or short
but, for a small wedding, you
might feel more comfortable
in a length that's just -below-
the-knee or mid-calf (very
popular right now).
If you'd like, you can top
off your outfit with a hat,
maybe a hat with a short
veil. A pillbox style or a hat
with a delicate brim is
especially smart.
Where can you buy these
styles? Try a bri.L.;1 salon or
your local store's bridal
department first. Many
bridal manufacturers are
developing whole new lines
of dresses that cater to the
sophisticated tastes of your
age group.
in refunds, they are receiv-
ing $450 clear.
Being a supershopper
means knowing how to get
the coupons we're all so
familiar with mailed to your
door. It also means knowing
how to get information on
loads of manufacturers' re-
fund offers which we're not
so familiar with.
"To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and
all healthy instinct for it."
