A "HORSE SHOE" WEDDING.

NOVEL WEDDING BREAKFAST AT THE PRINCESS ROOMS. A unique form of wedding breakfast, as far as Christchurch is concerned, was provided at the Princess tea and luncheon rooms, 242 High street, last Wednesday evening. This was what is described as "a horse-shoe wedding," and the outstanding feature was the arrangement of the tables in the form ox that emblem of "good luck." It was a brilliant and novel sight that greeted the bride, Miss Kathleen Findlay, fourth daughter of Mr 'Charles Findlay, of Christchurch, the bridegroom, Mr Leslie Holt-Harris, of Auckland, and the large attendance of their relatives and friends when they entered the room in which the wedding breakfast was awaiting them. The liorse-shoe table presented a sumptuous appearance, the wealth of beautiful spring flowers which constituted the decorations setting off the complete appointments of silver and glass ware, and the array' of dainty iviands temptingly arranged, in a highly, effective manner. Mrs Butterworth, the proprietress of the Princess rooms, has had much experience of similar funo--1 tions, which, added to her unerring artistic taste, results in a total effect that is most pleasing and gratifying to all concerned. This was reflected in the evident enjoyment of bride and bridegroom, and of the wedding guests on "Wednesday evening, as everything connected with the "horse shoe wedding" breakfast went off as ''merry as a wedding bell." Mrs Butterworth specialises in these and similar novel functions, and The Princess rooms have proved highly suitable for holding such gatherings. —6
