LOUISA’S LETTER

Dear Louisa, We have one daughter and she is engaged to be married the last of June. Weddings are so expensive these days and it takes so much to have a florist decorate the church and house that 1 doubt if we could afford it. Now what do you think of having the wedding at home? We have a large house and garden which were my parents before they died. The furnishings are old but we have lovely flowers in my garden and 1 have friends who have many lovely flowers and shrubs. The only problem is how could we get all of the people in the house whom we would like to invite? Mother--Miss. Answer: There is no reason why vou shouldn't have a lovely

wedding at home and cut down your expenses. The first thing you should do is to invite only the relatives and very intimate friends to the actual ceremony and the remainder of your guests to the reception which follows. The latter group will meet the wedding party and mingle with all the others throughout the home and in the garden. Punch could be served inside and out of the house. Friends could help decorate with flower arrangements but you might have a florist do the dining table arrangement or use a lovely wedding cake for the center. Home weddings can be beautiful.
