in invitations and thank-you notes.With longer engagements, brides have more time to make the appropriate selections for all the formalities surrounding their weddings.This includes finding the perfect invitation.The tony US.store Neiman-Mar- cus, for example, plays the arbiter of taste in handling only Crane paper, ceru in color and engraved in black ink.\u201cThe basic invitation package

Receptions envelope.And, of course, the invitations are tissued\u201d Stacey Himmel, who has been helping couples select their invitations for the last several years, also notices a traditional trend.\u201cT'here is more and more engraving.but the message inside the invitation may be personalized for friends and family\u201d Among the contemporary selec tions made by her clientele, florals remain a popular choice.Handwritten invitations are acceptable and appealing for those having a small wedding of fewer than 50 guests.Handwriting on the envelopes adds a personal touch to the most formal invitation.For an extra touch, brides can have professional calligraphers address the envelopes being sent to guests.Calligraphy for the invitation message also can be reproduced by thermog- raphy, a heat process that fuses ink and powder and resembles engraving.but is less costly.Some couples personalize their invitations with a photograph taken by a professional or friend.Some prefer formal studio sittings, while others like a carefree, relaxed pose outdoors.A couple should choose their invitations no less than 10 to 12 weeks prior to their wedding date so there will be time for word selection and proofreading, delivery and addressing.Invitations with photographs may require additional time.Invitations should be mailed at least one month prior to the ceremony.This allows adequate time for guests to respond and make gift selections.With gifts in mind, the bride may wish to select her thank-you notes at the same time she selects her invitations.A blind-embossed thank-you card with her maiden initials can be used prior to the wedding for shower thank-yous.For after the marriage, an engraved ecru thank-you card with the name of the married couple is appropriate.How can the bride keep track of hundreds of invitations?For years, brides made 3-by-5 cards listing guests\u2019 names and placed them alphabetically in a box or binder.They used the cards to eliminate duplications.check spellings, tally the wedding and reception counts and do necessary cuts to keep the event within budget.Today.any family that has a computer might try out its mail-merge system.Lists can be places in the computer, alphabet: ized, tallied for responses and gifts can be listed for thank-vous.For addressing the invitations, a bride can hire a service or undertake the task herself.The bridesmaids might want to lend a hand over afternoon tea.All invitations should be hand-addressed in blue or black ink.A typewriter should never be used.The thank-yous also should be handwritten, but only by the bride and groom.Since timeliness is important, most experts suggest writing thank-vous as soon as the gifts are received.Otherwise, the couple may never catch up.Also, it is easier 10 be sincere while enthusiasm for the gift is still real.The pleasures of invitations and thank-yous, done with a sense of tradition, add an important touch to a wedding.The invitation is something a bride treasures all her life as it becomes part of her wedding album.She should take the time to make the right choice.By VI.P SERVICE 353-5881 Mariages, voyages

once a time when a woman was à bride only if she wore a shining diamond rising from a white gold band.The ring symbolized marriage.Time has seen this message change.Now an eclectic collection of ring styles tells the world that this man or woman has tied the knot.Not that the diamond solitaire has gone the way of the dowry.Today's couples still symbolize their nuptial vows with precious stones and metals.But they're also recognizing COUTURE COLLECTION Gowns for the entire bridal party from our haute couture atelier ready-to-wear or made-to-measure exclusively designed in imported fabrics 5515

taste.Diamonds are forever: In 1477, the archduke of Austria linked diamonds, love and marriage when he slipped a diamond set in a simple gold band onto the third finger of his fiancé\u2019s left hand as a token of their engagement, according to Us magazine.\u2018Ibday, 75 percent of the two million annual first-time brides in Mimi Gian Ee, Chameleon Band the United States receive a diamond engagement ring.Men spend an average of $952 per engagement ring.Whether it's a two-carat pear- shaped diamond set in a thick sterling silver band that will serve as both an engagement and wedding ring, or dozens of tiny sparkling diamonds channeled in twin gold bands, pay careful attention when .purchasing diamonds.According to experts, the first and most important quality to look for in a diamond is the cut.Of the four diamond variables, known as the four \u201cCs; it is the only factor completely controlled by man.Ideally cut diamonds have 58 facets, cut to scientifically determined proportions, in perfect symmetry.They reflect INVITATIONS \u20ac YARMULKAS © DOILIES DANNY SILVERMAN 681-6875 Except Shabbat L_ FREE SHOP AT HOME SERVICE and refract optimal light, which then blazes through the top, giving diamonds their unique beauty.Diamonds that are not cut correctly have gray rings or dark centres that detract from their brilliance.Another factor is color.Aside from rare colored diamonds, the most valuable diamonds are those that come closest to being perfectly colorless.The majority, however, have a slight tint of color that does not affect their sparkle or brilliance.Clarity refers to the degree to which tiny flaws called inclusions are present in a diamond.Often, inclusions cannot be seen without magnification.Personal priorities regarding flaws can be

carat is divided into 100 \u201cpoints\u201d So a 50-point diamond actually weighs .50 carats.This is an indication of the diamond's size, the most obvious variable, but the least important in judging its brilliance and quality.It\u2019s a gem: You may have admired your grandmother's aquamarine engagement ring.Colored gemstones, which were rare in engagement and wedding rings a few years ago, are the rage again, just giithey were at the turn of the centu Today, many brides choose to use large semi-precious stones because of their affordability and beauty.According to Emily Post's Etiquette: A Guide To Modern Manners (Harper & Row), an aquamarine is the first choice as a diamond's substitute.Amethysts, topazes and transparent tourmalines also are good selections, but a bride can even choose her birthstone if she wishes.The perfect setting: Choosing a setting for your stone is like choosing a frame for an exquisite painting.you want something that will enhance the overall ring, yet not overpower the stone.Today's couples are taking a second look at sterling silver as a viable alternative to white gold.Some designs are bolder, more geometric, while others remain true to tradition.Men's rings have evolved from plain gold bands with channel-set diamonds, stair-step geometric molding and heavy inlay work.\u201cWhile there are literally thousands available, many couples are opting to design their own settings or unadorned wedding bands.Typically, a couple has a vague vision of their ring style sketched on paper when they approach a designer.Working with the couple, the designer makes a wax mold of the ring and incorporates any suggested changes.The ring is then cast and gems are set.Golden oldie: Jewelry stores aren't the only place to buy wedding rings.You might happen upon a \u201cfind\u201d in an antique store, or maybe your fiance's grandmother left him her engagement ring.When buying an heirloom ring, make sure you know what you're getting and talk to a jeweler about any necessary repairs.Buying tips: Wedding experts agree the \u201csurprise\u201d proposal with the man producing the never-seen- before ring from his pocket should happen only in the pages of romantic novels.The bride and groom should play equal parts in choosing the rings that will, we hope, serve them for life.Also recommended is dealing with a trained gemologist.Anyone can set up shop and sell jewelry, but not just anyone can ascertain the value of gemstones and jewelry.Find out who the jeweler is certified and inquire about his gomologicd § in- ing.When comparison shopping, make sure to compare like items.A diamond ring at Store A may look similar to one for $1,000 at Store B, but in reality, it may be of very different quality.Ask the jeweler to discuss the quality and cut of the gemstones and workmanship of the pieces.And, dont buy under pressure.Too often, \u201clemons\u201d have been purchased when the salesperson applied the pressure.« It is hoped

the mystery out of wedding dress adjectives The bride wore a taffeta gown featuring a Sabrina neckline, illusion voke and molded bodice accented with silk floss Schiffli embroidery, and Elizabethan sleeves.From the basque waistline flowed the skirt which swept to a cathedral train.Get the picture?Descriptions of wedding attire often fail to conjure up a clear pict fo readers of newspaper wed- cd mmouncements Only recent brides and people in the bridal gown business know the meaning of all those strange-sounding adjectives.Michele Piccione, design director of Alfred Angelo Bridals, helps take the mystery out of wedding fashion terms.\u201cSince Lady Di's wedding several years ago, taffeta has emerged as a popular fabric for bridal gowns \u2014 and one that seldom had been used in the past.Sharing the spotlight are satin, silk charmeuse, crystal organza and all-over lace,\u2019 Ms Piccione says.A Sabrina neckline goes straight across from shoulder to shoulder much like a bateau (or boat) neckline and often features detailing such as beading, lace or embroidery.The illusion yoke is so named because it creates the illusion of bareness while actually providing cover \u2014 usually in English net.Fitted or molded bodices gently hug the body and often taper to the flattering deep V- or U-shaped basque waistline.Schiffli embroidery is yarn embroidered onto a background, usually of net or organza.Silk floss embroidery uses short silk fibers which give a sheen to the fabric.Elizabethan sleeves pouf from the shoulder to be caught in a gathered effect above the elbow and then are fitted and slim from elbow to wrist.\u201cA cathedral train\u201d Ms Piccione says, \u201cfalls two-and-one-half to three yards from the waistline and is very full.Shorter and somewhat narrower are the chapel and semi-cathedral trains\u201d Only a court train is longer \u2014 and that extends to 12 feet.Among other fashion terms you're likely to read about for this season's bridal wear are: ¢

ensure radiant look All brides are beautiful on their wedding day, but how do they get that way?\u2018Tradition, expectation, that glow of excitement that comes from within \u2014 all of these play a part in bridal beauty.Of course, there are a few little things the bride herself can do to promote that wedding day radiance.Weddings are joyous, but they also are stressful, and a regimen that starts months prior to the event can make any bride feel her hest the day of the wedding.It is not recommended that brides- to-be undertake strenuous diets in the months before the wedding, although a balanced diet with at least 1,000 calories or more a day is fine if she wants to drop a few pounds.A week at a spa with a cherished childhood girlfriend or the bride's mother might be the best way for the bride to lose inches and tone up while revitalizing.\u201cMany engaged women and their mothers come here as a way to have time alone before the planning and events go into high gear\u201d says a representative of a California health spa.The regimen of exercise and diet, plus massage, makeup lessons that such spas provide can help the bride prepare physically and mentally for the busy weeks ahead.No radical changes The bride should not change her appearance radically for her wedding day.She wants to create an image that is timeless, yet uniquely her.Thus, big changes in hair color and cut should be considered carefully before the wedding.If anything, a consultation with a hair professional should take place months before.A style should be selected that will complement the bride's lifestyle and formality of the wedding.Once the bride selects the headpiece, she should take it to her stylist so modifications can be made.A bride\u2019s skin should glow.Traditionally, brides were pale and veiled.Today, the modern bride might want to visit a tanning salon to develop a deep glow or work with a makeup artist, who can define her looks for the approaching wedding festivities.An initial visit to a makeup artist a month or two before the wedding gives the bride time to select makeup types and become comfortable with them.She can adjust her makeup palette when wedding colors and clothing are selected.A real treat is being made up the day of the wedding, so the bride is truly her most radiant .with just a little help.For radiance, a bride's skin should be buffed to perfection.A good regimen of cleansers and toners can be suggested by a reliable professional.Bridal beauty should go right down to the fingertips.The ring will be seen by all, so hands and nails should look their best.A bride might want to have a professional manicure a day or two before the wedding and then touch up with a matching polish just before the cere: mony.For those who break a nail, there are acrylic nails or salon silk wrap to mend the fraved edges.Some frayed edges might be internal.If the bride finds herself nervous and edgy, a few stress reduction exercises might help She could pam- a per herself with a massage, or listen to a relaxation tape or soothing music.It is also a good idea to have an emergency kit, especially if the bride is dressing away from home.The kit should include the marriage licence, the rings, toiletries, tissue, extra hosiery, sewing kit and extra nail polish and gloss can help avoid last- minute panic.Bathing just prior to dressing can refresh and relax.The bride can dab on perfume to last all day, apply deodorant while skin is still damp for greatest protection and dust on talc.Finally, she can slip on her dress, apply makeup and comb out her hairstyle with confidence before adding the headpiece.Radiance comes from within, but the modern bride who has prepared herself knows she has done everything she can for her outward appearance.For those who desire the finest, discover the elegance of SHA ARE ZION CONGREGATION (¥ 5575 Cote St.Luc Road We have a standard of excellence that is a tradition, and we can help to make

the bride is still the centre of attention, the groom, groomsmen and bridal attendants will be able to hold their own with fashions that catch the guests\u2019 eyes after the bride has made her way

bridesmaid dresses, this translates into dropped waistlines, bateau necklines, cap sleeves and elegant fabrics.Whatever look a bride chooses for her bridesmaids, she should make sure the dresses

dolphin gray or black tuxedos.The style of tuxedo the groom will wear depends largely upon the time of day and formality of the wedding.For a formal daytime affair, the groom might choose a grey cutaway coat, white shirt and striped silk ascot.After six, he might choose \u201cwhite tie\u201d formality \u2014 a black dou- ble-breasted tuxedo with matching satinrimmed trousers, stiff-front

fo the ceremony, the degree of formality and a relative price range, you're ready to start shopping.Here are some tips from Bride's magazine: ® Call ahead.Make an appointment at your bridal salon, especially during the pre-summer and preholiday rush seasons.This way, you'll be assured of unpressured personal service.® Shop early.At least six months, or even more, before the big day.Most dresses are special-ordered and take a couple of months between order and delivery.And you'll want extra time for last-minute alterations.If vou're short on time, gowns with fewer production details are sometimes available.If you're sewing your own creation, plan on a month of weekend sewing for a.simple wedding gown or allow at least a month if vou have vour gown made.e Shop alone or with just one other person whose taste vou trust.The fewer opinions vou have to contend with, the better.And wear or take along appropriate shoes that are a good height and stvle for the dress vou have in mind.® What to bring?The most important thing to bring with vou to the bridal salon is patience.Your search will be easier if you allow plenty of time to try on a variety of styles.You'll also need a longline bra, pale, sheer, white or ivory hosiery and other undergarments that will give vou the best impression of how the dress fits and looks.And don't forget your chequebook.You should be prepared to leave a deposit on your order.You'll be asked to pay the balance, possibly in cash, when vou pick up the dress.® Keep time in mind.When the consultant writes up your sales slip, be sure she includes the date you'll need your gown.Ask how long it should take for the order to be filled (usually six to eight weeks).Then make an appointment for a fitting as soon as the store notifies vou that vour dress is in.If vou decide to rent, make sure vou reserve your choice in advance.When you've made your choice, ask about any instructions on caring and dry cleaning for the gown.Once vou get it home, you should unpack it and lay it flat.Hang it up the day before the wedding to shake out any wrinkles.to protect the interests of the bride- to-be.The ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand because the pharaohs of Egypt believed a vein, the \u201cvena amoris,\u2019 ran from that finger directly to the heart.Why a trousseau or dowry?The 20th century dowry \u2014 the material goods a bride brings to her marriage \u2014 is considered the career and salary of the working bride.But the custom of a dowry began in Europe sometime after 500 BC, when the esteem in which the bride was held was heightened by her dowry \u2014 the land, money or household goods she brought with her.As long as the husband and wife were married, he benefitted from the dowry, but if the husband died or the marriage was dissolved, the bride had her dowry to fall back on.Why a bridal shower?Tradition has it that a Dutch maiden fell in love with a poor miller, and when her father denied her a dowry to marry, the miller\u2019s friends showered the bride with gifts to help the young couple set up housekeeping.In the 1890s, this theme was furthered when friends put presents in bright-_ ly colored Japanese paper umbrellas; when the bride popped it open over her head, the parcels \u201cshowered\u201d down on her.Why a bachelor party?While the days of the dancing girl jumping from the cake may be past, few grooms pass up the chance to gather with buddies before the wedding.\u2018Traditionally, the purpose of the bachelor party was to raise a fund for the groom so he could continue to go out with his friends after his bride took control of the household finances.But the gathered bachelors mainly mourned the loss of one of their own, even as they toasted the bride with champagne, and smashed the glasses in the fireplace or underfoot so the glass would never be used for a less worthy purpose.What is a hope chest?Your hope chest may be a recently acquired trunk of gifts and purchases for your new home, but originally the bride's family began preparing for her marriage when she was born.Collecting, embroidering and crafting items to store in a marriage chest, even a bride's childhood was spent \u201choping\u201d for the day she would marry and share the precious things inside.PRIVATE Make-up artist for your WEDDING DAY Free trial offer For reservations call:

trusted friends.Make sure the caterer is licensed for food handling and carries insurance for his staff.® Quiz the caterer.If you have a location, meet him there and discuss logistics and colors,
