A tiny bouquet of violets tied with gauze ribbon at each plate makes the
table pretty and is a dainty souvenir for the guest. Sometimes the
individual favors are tiny wicker hampers filled with fine flowers tied
with white silk cord.
FOR THE BRIDE-ELECT.
A white breakfast is the daintiest and prettiest for the bride-elect.
Have the table decorations in white. For the center have a large round
basket of bride roses, and at each plate tiny French baskets filled with
maidenhair fern and white pansies, or apple blossoms, for individual
favors. Tie the handle of each basket with white gauze ribbon, looping
the baskets together with the ribbon forming a garland for the table.
Serve strawberries in large white tulips or bride roses, and have the
ices in form of wedding bells. For name cards have two wedding bells
tied with white satin ribbons.
