FASHIONABLE WEDDING

WHITE—ELWORTHY. Yesterday afternoon, the beautiful church of St. Mary's formed a picturesque setting for the -.arriage cf Rona, second daughter of Mr and M~s Herbert Elworthy, Craigmore, ’ and Alan Patrick, son of Mr and Mrs Kin-ross-White, of Hawke’s Bay. The decorations in the church, chosen to match the frocks of the bridal party, were in tones of gold and cream. On the altar were masses of arum lilies, freezias, and narcissi. Large clusters of arum lilies and tree-ferns were used in tn«_ Chancel, and wattle, gorse, freezias and jonquils decorated the chair-stalls and pulpit, forming an effective back ground for the golden frocks of . the bridesmaids. On her arrival at the church the graceful bride was met at the door by choristers, who preceded her, singing “Lead Us Heavenly Father, Lead Us.” Her beautiful medieval briday frock of ivory ring velvet was cut on straight simple lines, the skirt slightly lcnger at the back, and bordered with a ruching of satin. A long tight-sleeved bodice was cut with a square neck, out-lined with pearls, the sleeves being finished with a row of tiny buttons to the elbow. A girdle of woven pearls finished with long tassels was Knotted loosely in front, and fell to the foot of the frock. The long train, which hung from the waist, was of ivory and gold faconne embossed in chenille, lined with gold tissue and cut to fall ( softly on either side. From a juliet cap of pearls arranged with a spray of orange blossoms at the side, hung a cream silk net embroidered veil, which had been worn by her grandmother on her wedding day. A diamond pendant and a large spray of freezias were a charming finish to a most attractive toilette. Mr Herbert Elworthy gave his daughter away.
