This article Is devoted entirely. to-day to the wedding gowns of the bride and her bridesmaids. I have designed a wedding dress that also has a future.

Now we come to the reception. Bride and bridegroom arrivé first at the reception hall, followed by the bride's parents.
The bride's mother welcomes the guests, who then pass on to con- gratulate the happy couple.
The bridal pair sit together at the principal table, the bride on her, husband's left. On his right is the bride's mother, and on the' bride's left her father.
There is no special rule for seat- ng the remainder of the guests. but old friends of the family and relatives of both familles join the party at the bridal table.
