September and October weddings are always popular, partly perhaps
because of the decorating possibilities of the autumn season.
Goldenrod and wild asters one thinks of for early fall. At one evening
home wedding where this blue and gold color scheme was used, the
stalks of plumey golden rod seemed to be growing naturally along the
stair rail; they were held in place at the uprights.
The rooms were hung with blue and golden globes of lights--in reality
paper lanterns--sheltering electric bulbs. The fireplace held masses
of goldenrod, and blue jars holding wild asters crowned the mantel,
the tables, the piano, and the wide window sills.
The bridesmaids wore gowns of yellow organdy and the maid of honor an
aster blue costume.
In the dining-room a dull gilt basket of blue asters occupied the
center of the table set for a buffet repast, and a bow of blue and
golden tulle fluttered from the handle of the basket.
The favors were tiny kewpie dolls, wearing frilly skirts and caps,
some of blue and others of yellow. The blue were for the men, the
yellow for the girls.
