FASHIONABLE WEDDING

SHERRATT—ORMOND Considerable interest waS manifested yesterday in a fashionable marriage which took place at "YValliirgford," Central Hawko's Bay, the home of Mr and Mrs J. D. Ornioml, when the marriage of their second daughter, Miss Sheila Ormond, to Mr William Wray Sherratt, son of Mr and Mrs W. G. Sherratt, of Gisborne, was celebrated. The wedding took place in the large drawing-room, where the aisle and archway was massed with beautiful flowers in apricot tones, interspersed with greenery, and from the centre of the archway hung a huge wedding bell.

The service was a very impressive one. The Rev. E. C. Crosse, of Christ College, Christehurch, performed the ceremony, and was assisted by the Rev. Cameron, of Waipukurau. The music for the service was supplied by a piano and violin, during which hymns were sung. The charming bride was given away by her father and wore a beautiful frock of cream georgette over llcshpink georgette. The skirt fell to the ground and was gauged at the waist and. very flare'd, with flounces at the sides. The bodice had long tailored sleeves and was appliqncd to the waist in a leaf design. The gold brocaded train was secured on the shoulders and fell ill a V-shape to the waist, disclosing the back of the bodice. From the waist the train gradually widened to the bottom and was prettily ornamented with sprays of orange blossom. Cold shoes were worn. The lovely veil of Brussels lace was arranged oil the head in Russian style with orange blossoms, and a bouquet of deep gold roses and ferns was carried.

The little train bearers were Jacqueline Hope, niece of the bride, who wore a frilled frock of apricot organdie, with bonnet to match, trimmed with rOsebuds, and David Ormond, brother of the bride, wore an Eton suit.

They wore gold bead chains and belts, and apricot, satin shoes. Their hats had drooping brims and were composed of satin beige straw and were finished with a ribbrfn band. Sheafs of apricot dahlias and ferns were carried.
