MUCH INFLUENCED BY FASHIONS

Bouquets for brides are --VERT much influenced to-day · by fashion. The old type bouquet which smothered the wedding dress, and over which the bride's face could just be seen, has “hap- pily been succeeded by new de- signs which serve to show off the beauty of the flowers themselves in such a way that their arrange. ment gets them off without giving

a "massed" impression..

Lace-Like Blossoms

The former shows gardenias and lilies of the valley arranged in a large and loosely set Victorian posy, with tapering lace-like blos- soms of the lilies falling like foral diamonds from the whiteness of the posy's centre. White tulle sofetly frilled makes a frame for the whole, and a filmy background for the pendant-flower "drops.”.
