They look after the first slice, a waiter or'friend-does the rest. The toasts and speeches come next, and then the party begins. The bride and groom should start the dance. If you're sticking with tradition, the next dance is for the bride' and her father and the groom and his bride's mother. Then the' bride and groom can take another twirl alone, followed by the bride's, mother with the groom's . father and- the bride's . father with the groom's mother. Then the bride can dance with the groom's father, the groom with his mother. If all that's too confusing, or your guests look like they're getting itchy feet watching you waltz around, the bridal dance is enough to get the celebration going. Often guests are reluctant to leave until the newlyweds have headed out on their honeymoon, so keepthis in mind. Allow enough time to leave your ..reception; the guests will all want to say goodbye and give you other words of advice. They'll want pic- tures of you in your going -away clothes as well. You'll also need time to throw the bouquet and garter, other prime ' ''picture -taking moments. The bride tosses her bouquet first to the single women and, as virtuallx every single girl knows, the one who catchea.it is supposed to be the next down the aisle. The groom throws the garter to the single men, and the same tradition holds true — he's supposed to be the next man married. With all this accomplished, the honey- moon - and your new life as a married cou- ple - can begin. • Second time brides choose glamour Regal, ruffled confections 'Of tulle, satin and lace are holding their own for tradition loving brides of '84. But more and more older and second time brides want a look that is more sophisticated and glamorous than it is fairytale princess. Today's second time bride. is likely to prefer a classically elegant but practical look that adapts to other dressy occasion. That doesn't mean she isn't entitled to her moment of romantic radiance. Versatile but elegant ready to wear cocktail styles often are a fraction of the price of a traditional wedding gown and gracefully make the transition .from wedding to theatre or din- ner. White is a favourite colour, especially at- tractive for spring weddings in crisp cotton - pique, cotton voile or silk. This spring, pale peach and bewitching silver shades of gray, mauve, slate blue and dusty pale pink offer , a welcome relief from cutesy pastel colours that should never leave the nursery. For the bride. who has a sense of adven- ture and likes to go her own way, sensuously soft leather and suede in white or muted pastel shades offer a smart new option. Hemlines tend to hover at the knee, although mid calf and even longer looks ter- rific if the silhouette is narrow and sleek. Elaborate headpieces are out of tune with the more understated mood of second wed- dings, but a classically smart cloche or small brimmed hat is a perfect finishing touch to a tailored ensemble. Lace • gloves, in either wrist or three quarter length versions, add a bit of feminine whimsy to a very special day.
