Beautiful Point Lace A White-Clad Bride

THREE BRIDESMAIDS IN ROSE-COLOURED FROCKS ! ATTEND MISS CORRIE RUSSELL | * ANDERSON—RUSSELL The cool beauty of St. Matthew’s Church was enhanced this, afternoon with the fragrant charm of myriad blossoms when the wedding took plaee there of Corrie, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. N. Russell, of “Pembridge,” Princes Street, to Keith, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Anderson, of Remuera. The Rev. Jasper Calder was the officiating minister, and the bride was given away by her father. Slenderly fashioned of heavy white satin, the bridal gown was exquisite in its simplicity of design. Long sleeves added a graceful note to the bodice, and the skirt, which was effectively petalled, took added grace from its hemline which dipped to the back, while maintaining modest proportions in front. A veil of rare old point lace, lent by a friend of the bride’s family, was daintily arranged to fall in soft folds over the gown, and was caught with a tiny spray of orange blossoms at each side of the bride’s face. Tulle, caught in delicate folds, hinted at being a train, and gave a touch of fragility to the bridal toilette, which was beautifully offset by the shower bouquet of pure white flowers carried. Three maids, in dainty frocks of rose blush taffeta, followed the bride. They were the Misses Phyllis Speedy, of Dannevirke, Cherry Anderson and Cecily Russell, the bride’s younger sister. Their frocks were all expressed on similar lines, with long sleeves and the slimmest of bodices, from which bouffant taffeta skirts opened in front to provide a glimpse of the shining\ silver tissue that composed fhe underskirts. Delicate embroidery outlined the bodices and appeared in light touches on the skirts. Hats of matching tone were worn and took distinction to themselves with their crowns of deftly-folded chiffon velvet and their transparent brims of tulle. Each attendant carried a beautiful shower of flowers to match her frock. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. John Allan, of Morrinsville, as best man, and Messrs. W. Geddes, Neil, Louisson and V. Wilson acted as ushers. After tl\p ceremony a reception was held at “Pembridge,” the home of the bride’s parents, where a large number of guests were received by Mrs. Russell, who wore an attractive gown of French grey georgette, embossed with a handsome design of roses. Her hat was of French grey toning, and she carried a posy of rose-coloured flowers. Mrs. E. Anderson, the bridegroom’s mother, wjis wearing an ensemble of ficelle-tinted georgette and lace, with a smart, hat of matching shade, and she carried a posy to tone. Miss Ailsa Russell was .-wearing a frock of bois de rose taffeta, witli a hat of harmonising shade. The house was beautifully decorated with masses of flowers and baskets of fragrant blue stephanotis that liung in dainty trails.
