It seems that 1981 will long
be remembered as the Year of
the Wedding.
The entrance into matrimo-
ny of Prince Charles and Lady
Diana was grand, glorious,
without rival in modern
memory—and certain to make
every prospective bride and
groom all the more deter-
mined that their special day be
equally perfect in every detail.
With the eyes of the world
riveted on the Royal Wedding,
it’s no surprise that it has in-
spired a revival of interest in
weddings which reflect the
traditions, splendor and ele-
gance of the great event.
Brides are being married in
romantic gowns with billowy
skirts, melon sleeves and
glorious, flowing trains. This
Victorian grandeur is en-
hanced by simple, elegant ac-
cessories, such as that peren-
nial favorite, cultured pearl
jewelry. -
A lustrous, radiant cultured
pearl necklace (very possibly
a gift from the groom) is an
exquisite complement to the
bride’s own radiance, and the
deeper necklines on many of
today’s bridal gowns lend
themselves to a wide variety of
styles and lengths—from dou-
ble and triple strand “dog col-
lars” to single strand neck-
laces in princess length and
longer.
A point to keep in mind
when choosing a cultured
pearl necklace that will har-
monize with the neckline of
your bridal gown, is that cul-
tured pearls are at their most
beautiful when worn against
bare skin.

Neckline important
If your gown has a high,
round neckline, your best
choices in cultured pearl neck-
laces would be either the de-
mure single strand choker or
one of the multiple strand
“dog collars.”
If your gown has a high-
standing collar, most appro-
priate would be a matinee or
opera length strand of cultured
pearls.
And if your gown is heavily
beaded, a cultured pearl
necklace will still look lovely.
Just make sure the necklace is
short enough, so that it does
not fall onto the beading of the
gown, as that would detract
from the beauty of both gown
and necklace.
Beautiful bracelets
If the sleeves of your gown
permit, complement your
necklace with a simple single
or double strand cultured pearl
bracelet.
And, of course, a pair of
cultured pearl earrings, a
long-time bridal favorite,
makes a lovely finishing
touch. You'll feel the way you
look—Tlike a princess!
An outdoor wedding in a
favorite place can be a charm-
ing way to celebrate this
momentous, once-in-a-life-
But, no matter how much
you planned, there is still a
chance that the unforeseen

stroll down the aisle with the
bride; it could start raining; or
some bees might attach them-

New plastic trash pails are
perfect for storing ice, and
light foods such as seafood
salads, quiches, cold soup and
fresh fruit are good choices.
But, whatever happens the
best remedy is to remain gra-
cious and keep smiling.
There should be an alterna-

A separate table should be
set‘up for the cake and bey-

are great additions to the bev-
erage list for those guests
who prefer non-alcoholic
refreshers.
You may also choose to
offer outdoor activities such as
badminton and volleyball to
keep the party going. Patios or
driveways can be set aside for
dancing.
