THE STATELY BRIDE
Wecldins's are becoming more dignified and picturesque every day. Musical comedy effects are out of favour. We grew a little tired of the bride clad in what appeared to be a sleeveless, knee-length dance frock of tulle or georgette, and who was "driven” to the altar by a flock of cherubs holding her in with sil-ver-ribbon reins. Perhaps it is because the cherubs had a very earthly tendency to let the processfon down at times, but the fact remains that "stunts” are out of favour. All that the smaller members of the bridal retinue are now asked to do is clutch a flower or a corner of the bride's train. Coloured effects, too, are less popular and the all-white bride is back again. She has lonjf sleeves and a longer skirt and a veil that really does what it is meant to do—conceal her face until after the ceremony. For a long time orange blossom seemed to have dropped out of favour, but the brides of the “little” season have revived it.
