Plans for Wedding

To the Editor Of Womah's Page:
Dear MADAM am engaged to be married
and we are planning to have a wedding in church
in early June. Wn you tell me who pays for
the church decorations, the bridegroom or the
brides fatherT Also, who pays for the carriage
for the bridal party to and from the church !?
Could you suggest something pretty in the way
Of decorations and for the bridesmaids frocks?
LILLIAN.
The brides father (or family pays for the
church decorations and for the carriages to
and from the church. In fact, the father
stands all the expenses except the wedding
ring, the clergymans fee and the bouquets
for the bride and bridesmaids. These are
all paid for by the bridegroom.
June is essentially the month of roses
The altar and chancel might be decorated
with pink and white roses and a quantity
of green fernery. Frocks of pale blue tulle
trimmed with silver, and hats of georgette
crepe trimmed with MOSS roses, would be
very pretty for the bridesmaids. They might
carry loose punches of June roses If you
have flower girls. let them be dressed in
dainty white frocks with pale blue sashes
and have them carry small long handed
baskets filled with pink roses. Floppy hats
of leghorn, trimmed with moss roses, would
be effective.
