Filmy Veils are Webs of Charm When Spring is in the Air

DAVIS—TEE A frock of brocaded chenille crepe de chine, the skirt of which was bordered with narrow silver lace edges to the apron-like draperies, was chosen for her wedding gown by Ida Ellen, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Tee, of Middleton Road. Remuera, on the occasion of her marriage to Mr. John Davis, second son of Mrs. Bird, of Beresford Street. The ceremony was performed in St. Matthew's Church last evening, the Rev. Charles Chandler officiating. The bride entered the church on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Creasy*. Her veil was of Brussels net caught to the head by a circlet of orange blossom, and she carried a shower bouquet of freesias, roses and carnations. Miss Daisy Tee, sister of the bride, and Miss Vera Beechy, attended as bridesmaids. The former’s frock was of eau de nil taffeta relieved with cream lace trimming, and that of the latter was of apricot georgette trimmed with silver lace. Both wore black satin hats trimmed with posies of flowers and a band in the same colour as their frocks. Pastel shaded spring flowers composed their shower bouquets. Mr. W. Davis attended the bridegroom as best man. After the ceremony a reception was held in the Penrith rooms, which were decorated in Iceland poppies, with a white wedding bell, and trails of pink roses. The guests were received by the bride’s mother, who wore a gown of black georgette, a fox fur, and a black hat trimmed with a wreath of pansies. The bridegroom’s mother was attired in a Burgundy silk repp gown, with hat to tone. Among those present were: Mrs. Broome, of Arohena, sister of the bride, frock of bois de rose and fawn wool crepe de chine, with hat to tone. Mrs. Mclntosh, gown of henna crepe do chine, with black satin coat and hat to tone. Mrs. Anderson, frock of grey silk and hat to match. Mrs. Adams, the bridegroom’s sister, gown of bois de rose cloth with hat of beige silk trimmed with blue flowers.
