Wedding Bells
LANGE—NEWTON
A recent wedding of wide interest was celebrated at St. Paul's Church, Urenui, Taranaki, where Dorothy Eila, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Newton, "Woodlands,” Urenui,
was married to Mr. Darcy Lange, of Uruti, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Lange, of Palmerston North. The Rev. V. A. Bianchi performed the ceremony and Mrs. Geoffrey Newton, Te Awamutu, presided at the organ.
The bride, who entered the church with her father, had chosen pale ctprieo pink needlerun lace for her trained wedding gown, which was worn over satin. The corsage was designed with a softly cowled neckline caught in front with a sprig of orange blossom, and a row of tiny buttons gave a pretty finishing touch to the long tight-fitting sleeves and to the back of the bodice. Her veil of embroidered tulle was held in place with a coronet of orange blossom and fell behind to form a second train. She carried a sheaf of arum lilies.
A trio of bridesmaids, the Misses Joyce Newton, chief, Ailwyn Newton and Mavis Gaustad, and a flowergirl, Miss Fay Newton, Te Awamutu, the bride’s niece, made a charming picture in their gowns of pink net over satin, shading from '-'hell pink to vieux rose. The frocks were fashioned alike with off-th--shoulder decolletage and heart-shaped neck line slightly cowled in front and caught with attractive brooches, the gift of the bridegroom. Frilled panels were inlet into the iuil skirls and belts of plaited silver defiled iu e waistline and matched the Aide silver headbands. The bridesmaid;: carried dainty muffs of rucked ret over satin matching their frock’, nu 1 finished with sprays of ping lucullia and maidenhair fern, and the flowergirl, whose frock was cut with bouffant skirt and puffed sleeves, carried a basket of pink flowers. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. J. Nops, Okau,- as best man, and Mr. Ivo. Lange, Gisborne, nephew of the bridegroom, and Mr. H. Newton, Urenui, as groomsmen. After the ceremony a reception was held at "Woodland,”’ the residence of the bride’s parents, where the rooms had been beautifully decorated with japonica and lucullia. The bride’s mother received the guests wearing a gown of brown seif-spotted georgette, matching furs and hat; her bouquet was of freesias and rosebuds. Mrs. Charles Robertson Palmerston North, the bridegroom’s sister, wore a smart rust ensemble with brown furs, peach-bloom hat and accessories, and carried a posy of
autumn-tinted flowers. Mrs. F. Lange, Gisborne, chose a brown tailormade, and a posy of gaillardias and maidenhair fern. Mrs. Geoffrey Newton, Te Awamutu, was in a nigger brown costume with apricot shaded blouse and brown hat and accessories. For travelling the bride wore a tailored suit of dark petrel blue, a cream satin blouse, blue peachbloom hat and accessories, and a handsome fur stole. In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Newton entertained many guests at a dance in the Urenui Hall.
