WHITBY FREE PRESS BRIDAL SUPPLEMENT, WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 1980, PAGE 5 Rose Potpourri Holds Bride's Happy Memories Weddings seem to come and go all too quickly. One minute, you're planning frantically to make every- thing come out just right and the next minute, all the excitement is over and you've settled down to everyday married life. Your wedding photo album is one way to recall the fun and excitement of the big day. Another way- and a more romantic one- is to make a potpourri from your wedding bouquet and flowers from bridal showers. A potpourri (or mixture of dried petals as in a sachet) lasts for years, reminding you again and again of one of the happiest times in your life. Here, from the Rose Information Bureau, is a re- cipe for turning your bridal roses into a fragrant remembrance. Begin by making sure you can keep your wedding bou- quet, instead of throwing it away! When ordering your flowers, ask the florist to provide a special "throw- away" arrangement. More and more brides are doing this now than ever before, because they have an under- standable attachment to the bouquets they walked down the aisle with. It's also a great feeling to be compli- mented on your beautiful flowers as you pass through the airport security check on the first "leg" of your hon- eymoon! Next, pack a small, plas- tic container in the suitcase you plan to take on the honeymoon. One or two days after the wedding-but before the roses begin to turn brown-remove the petals. Let them dry out l'or several days in the open con- tainer, then snap on the lid and pack them away.

Help your Heart Fund Help your Heart Gift Wrapping... And Brides When a gift is something special, the wrapping should be just as special. Choose wrapping materials to fit the occasion and the recipient. Small tuck-in gifts, such as measuring spoons tied with a bow, are fun for showers. One gift becomes two if it's given in a reusable hatbox, covered with fabric or wallpaper. The romance of the Edwardian era has captured the imagination of today's modern bride. Winter and spring brides will glide down the aisle in drifts of satin, folds of silken jersey, slides of antique satin and snowy clouds of chiffon. The captivating opulence of the late 19th century has been translated by Priscilla into a richness and a new softness that has been missing for many seasons. Once again, the leading bridal designer for some of the country's most famous brides haS made creative lace application her hall- mark. Alencon lace, Eng- lish nettings, Bristol lace, Lyon lace are worked in de- licate tracery, from tiny cameos that frame the face to frothy hems. Borrowing from the ladies of King Ed- ward's court, the designer has brought the sweeping elegance of the period to the 20th century. Silhouettes re- main simple and yet regal, with "Lillie Langtry" neck- lines newest, in a squared shape that makes the most of graceful necks and beau- tiful shoulders. Queen Anne necklines softly frame the face, while demureV's make a new statement. The return of the natural waistline and a feeling of controlled slimness echoes the Edwardian influence. Details remain the Priscil- la signature. Begun last spring, the mixing of ivory and white lace continues to lend a delicate color blend- ing. Ivory lace cameos are worked on satiny silhou- ettes. English netting is frosted with tiny dew drops of pearls and crystals for the glow of sun and new-fallen snow. Scroll work in tiny pearls adds interest at the hemline. Even white fox creates its own magic as a snowy accent at the cuffs and tops a drift of illusion veiling headdress. This season's bride will be an elegant bride, wearing a gown and headdress de- signed to be keepsakes and treasures.† DONALD TRAVEL 102 BROCK ST. S.
