TWO SUMMER WEDDINGS
A WILD ROSE WEDDING
A wild-rose wedding which one bride planned was wonderfully
attractive. In one corner of the living-room an arch of woven wire was
erected, and covered with graceful wild clematis vines and wild roses.
On each window-sill stood a jar of wild roses, and the mantel was
banked with them.
The two bridesmaids wore pale green dresses, and carried baskets
overflowing with wild roses; the maid of honor wore a gown of
wild-rose pink, and carried an arm bouquet of wood maidenhair ferns
and wild clematis.
The dining-table was decorated effectively. A crystal bowl filled with
wild-rose sprays which trailed over the sides and along the table was
placed in the center on a mat of hardy sword ferns. From above the
middle of the table four garlands of wild clematis were looped down to
the edge of the round table and held with bows of green tulle.
Glass dishes of olives and pink, green, and white candies on the table
still further carried out the color scheme.
The menu, which was served in buffet style, was pink and white. It
consisted of strawberry and pineapple cocktail, with a sprig of green
mint in each glass, sliced ham and pressed chicken, potato chips, hot
rolls, raspberry ice, white-frosted cakes cut in the shape of bells,
pink-frosted cakes in the shape of hearts.
Fruit punch, pink with strawberry juice and green with mint, was
served on the rose-bowered porch by a pretty girl in a rose-flowered
frock.
A FIELD FLOWER WEDDING
Another country bride used the field flowers for decorating.
Big jars of daisies, buttercups, wild carrot, red clover, and tasseled
grasses stood in the corners of all the rooms and filled the empty
fireplace.
Four little girls, dressed in white with yellow sashes and hair
fillets, carried a daisy chain to form an aisle for the bride and her
attendants, and the ceremony took place under a big bell of field
daisies.
The bridesmaids wore pale yellow georgette gowns, and carried bouquets
of black-eyed Susans, the maid of honor wore old-gold georgette,
lightened with white, and carried a loose bunch of daisies and
buttercups.
In the center of the dining table a high-handled white-enameled basket
held a natural arrangement of sweet white clovers, grasses, and yellow
buttercups, and was linked by several streamers of yellow baby ribbon,
with four smaller white
