Her beautiful gown was of ivory slipper satin, the bodice being made on tight-fitting medieval lines, and embroidered with seed pearls. The skirt Was’ cut very full, and fell into a long train. A girdle of seed pearls outline the waist. Her lovely veil of ivory tulle fell from a circlet of orange blossom, and she carried a bouquet of pearly gladioli. The bridesmaids were dressed alike in picturesque frocks of soft hydrangea blue'chiffon having cleverly tucked bodices and short tucked sleeves. They carried bouquets of cyclamens and fuchsias and wore sprays of fuchsias in their hair. A reception was held in the lovely garden of the home of Miss Ruth Herrick, aunt of the bride. The garden was a perfect setting for such an event, and the house itself was a bower of flowers. Mr and Mrs Herrick and Mr and Mrs Ormond received the guests. Mr and Mrs Walcott Ormond will make their future home at Mount Cameron, Hawke’s Bay.
