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.
