The Bridal Serviette is almost identical with the Pyramid, and is so
called because it is a favorite for wedding breakfasts. At the top it
is to be decorated with a few flowers. For the bride, stephanotis,
white roses, or any white flowers available, mixed with a little orange
blossom. For the other guests a scarlet flower. The serviette must be
very stiff and damp from fresh ironing. Lay it on the table flat. Fold
it not in half, but within an inch and a half of the top (see fig.
1). Take the corners A and B, and fold them to C and D again, within
an inch and a half of the last fold, and like the last fold flat and
straight across. This produces fig. 2. Again take the ends E and F and
fold over to G and H, within an inch and a half of the last fold. This
will probably about halve the remaining piece; but that will depend on
the size of the serviette. Then fold it the narrow way, backwards and
forwards, as for a fan, nine times, creasing it firmly down. Opening it
as little as possible, turn down all the tops of the folds in the way
noticed in fig. 3, beginning at the top of the three tiers. Then join
it round, fixing the first fold over the last, and pinch it together at
the top.
