_eautiful DECIDING ON ATTIRE FOR BRIDAL PARTY What girl has not dreamed of how she would look as a bride? No need to offer advice on this. Naturally, your choice will depend on your taste, the season, the formality of your wedding, styles of the moment and of course, your budget. Shops specializing in wedding gowns are a logical choice for your gown and those of your bridesmaids, who customarily buy their own outfits. Remember details - shoes to be dyed to match, gloves, veil, headpieces, etc. Jewelry, if any, should be a simple strand of ^)earls. Your own mother will know your color scheme and plan to wear an appropriately harmonizing costume. Your future motherin- law, having less to do with the wedding arrangements, will appreciate being told about your color plan, especially when she goes to select an .outfit. Neither mother should wear black or white. Except for formal evening weddings,their dresses should be street-length. Your own gown and those of your attendants should be ordered as far in advance as possible. You wil 1 want all gowns to fit perfectly, and /you should reconcile yourself to taking timeyfor fittings. After the wedding, you will want to preserve this once-in-a-lifetime gown. Inquire about having it cleaned and packaged as an heirloom. Some cleaners and shops specialize in this service. While the bride has a great deal of leeway in deciding on the style, material and formality of her wedding dress, apparel for men in the bridal party is more rigidly prescribed by the formality of the occasion, the hour, and the season.
