Bridesmaids Follow
Wishes Of The Bride

Bridesmaids and maids of honor fol-
low unhesitatingly the wishes of the
bride regarding the color and style OF
their gowns. as well as all the access
sories.
When the bride Ia blessed with wealth
she often presents the gowns and access
sories in all their completeness to her
maids as gift.
The bridegroom sends the flowers to
be carried by the maids, and the bride
adds pretty little trinket, which often
takes the form of a piece Of jewelry.
The maid of honor receives the brides
bouquet and glove while the ring ts be-
