WEDDINGS OF THE WEEK.

BR AH AM—REYNOLDS. That October is the ideal nionth for weddings was proved by the profusion of pink cherry blossom, and festoons of lycopodium which, added to the attractive interior of the Synagogue, provided beautiful settings for the Braham—Reynolds wedding, which took place on Thursday evening. The bride, Miss Fay Reynolds, is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Reynolds, of "Faylour," Orakei Road, Remuera, and the bridegroom, Mr. Harry Braham, is the eldest son of Mrs. L. Braham, of Dunedin, and the late Mr. Braham, of London. The service was choral, the Rev. Alexander Astor and the Rev. S. I. Goldstine officiating, and Mr. Moor Karoly was the organist.. The brunette colouring of the dainty bride was suited to perfection by her wedding gown of chalk white fishscale satin. The gown was cut on medieval lines, with a knife pleating, which, falling from the hips, formed a- small train. Handworked silver beads and net formed a yoke, which extended to the waist line at the back, and long tight fitting sleeves fell over the hands in place of gloves. A sweeping train of the satin lined with silver tissue had a huge true lover's knot near the end, and a cluster of orange blossom buds formed the centre of the bow. Over the train was a beautifully embroidered Brussels net veil caught at the back with a trail of orange blossom. The beauty of the frock was further enhanced by the trail of white roses carried. Creating a springlike picture were the bridesmaids, Misses Julie and Esther Goodrich, cousins of the bride. Their frocks were of silver grey craquelle satin, wide ruching on the skirts, and the new dolman sleeves looked most attractive. Silver lame hats over pink and sheafs of pink roses were carried, the flowers falling to the end of their gowns. Two little trainbearers and a page boy, Ruth Astor, Gloria Emanuel, and Ronald Kay, added picturesqueness in their early period frocks of silver lame, with pink rosebud wreaths, and pink rose horseshoes, the last-named wearing a Lord Fauntleroy suit of white satin. The bride was given away by her father. The best man was Mr. Sydney Braham (bridegroom's brother), and the groomsmen were Messrs. Lawrence Reynolds (bride's brother) and M. Lees. Futuristic decorations, and tables exquisitely arranged with cornflowers, blue irises, larkspur, and blue delphiniums, were used in profusion for the wedding reception held at the Tudor room and reception hall of Milne and Choyce, Ltd. From the entrance door were high stands and an archway of white and silver flowers with a large wedding bell. The stage was set in similar manner, and the Peter Pan orchestra supplied the latest dance airs, including "A Russian Melody," by request. The bride's mother received the guests in a thunder grey craquelle satin, inset with lace, and small grey hat. A lovely bouquet of red roses was carried. The bridegroom's mother was in a cobalt blue satin romaine relieved with georgette. A blue Reslaw hat, and bouquet of yellow tea roses, completed the toilette. Mrs. A. Goodrich, aunt of the bride, wore a cinnamon brown crepe faille trimmed with brown lace, and carried a primrose bouquet.
