Marriage
VENN - INGLIS.
A very interesting wedding took place in Bridgetown, when Mr. Frank Venn, of Dardanup, was married to Miss Jean Inglis, daughter of James Inglis, Esq., of "Bandfield," Bridgetown.
St. Paul's was beautifully decorated with white flowers by the girl friends of the youthful bride. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. P. Ryall, rector of Donnybrook, assisted by the Rev. G. H. Devlin, rector of Bridgetown.
The church was overflowing with spectators, the bride being noted for her beauty and sweetness of disposition. An unusual number of gentlemen were present, although the service began at 9 a.m.
The bride, charmingly attired in an exquisite frock of ivory duchesse satin, trimmed with Honiton lace, made semi-empire style, with long train over underskirt of glace silk, and wearing a real Irish lace veil and orange blossoms, swept up the aisle on her father's arm, followed by seven bridesmaids.
The chief one, Miss, Isabelle Inglis, escorted by the best man, Mr. Ellerton Brown, manager of the Timber Corporation, Greenbushes, looked very pretty in a while embroidered muslin with silk net sleeves, white Leghorn hat trimmed with silk and lace.
Miss Ruth Warburton, Miss Erica Hester, Miss Nellie Inglis, and Miss Jessie Inglis, were attired in pale blue and pale pink empire mousse line-de-soie frocks respectively, and wore chaplets of forget-me-nots and roses to match all carried long shepherd's crooks, tied with roses and streamers. Two tiny train bearer the Misses. Dorothy Sherwood and Jean Wilson, looked very sweet in cream silk empire dresses, and chiffon bonnets, and carried baskets of flowers.
As the bridal party grouped before the altar the effect was a harmony of colour. The service was choral, the Wedding March being rendered as the happy pair left the church.
The reception was held in the Mechanics' Institute. Mrs. Inglis, who wore a handsome black silk dress with cream net vest and sleeves, pale blue hat, swathed with silk and roses, received at the door. The hall was decorated with green palms, the long tables forming the initials (Venn-Inglis). On the apex of the V stood a handsome 3-tier wedding cake, richly ornamented (made and presented to the bride by Mrs. Wilmot).
On a large table near the stage the wedding presents were arranged. Among these were some costly silverware, very pretty needle work and hand-painted covers. A number of handsome presents were sent direct to Dardanup by friends of the bridegroom, whose family are old and highly-esteemed resident of the State.
The following were present from the bridegroom: To the bride, a solid silver manicure set; to the chief bridesmaid, a gold chain and pendant; to the tiny maid (Jean Wilson}, a gold chain and pendant, to the five other bridesmaids, a gold pearl and turquoise brooch each. From the bride to bridegroom, a silver cigar and ash tray From best man to bride, a very heavy marble clock.
The, Rev. V. Ryall his usual happy style, proposed the health of the bride and bridegroom. Mr. Venn responded in a few, well-chosen words, heartily thanking all present for their kind wishes. In replying to the toast on behalf of the bridesmaids, Mr. Ellerton Brown, in a neat little speech, conveyed to Mr. and Mrs. Venn a personally entrusted message from His Excellency Sir F. Bedford and Lady Bedford, wishing them every happiness and prosperity in their married life.
The wedded pair were seen off at the railway station by an enthusiastic crowd amidst much laughter, old shoes, and showers of rice. The going away dress was a grey directoire coat and skirt, cream hat, with brown and pink trimming. The Ophir takes the happy couple eastwards.
Some very handsome dresses were worn by the guests, especially by the bride's relatives. Mrs. Russell (sister), black silk embroidered in cream, net vest and sleeves; cream Leghorn hat, chiffon and carnations. Miss Inglis (sister), brown taffeta, cream vest, blue edgings; brown hat and roses. Mrs. Gus Warburton (aunt), handsome brocaded blue silk, Mrs. Geo. Warburton, smart cloth costume. Mrs. Randell Warburton, beautiful black merv. frock and tulle hal. Mrs. Heppingstone, very pretty black voile dress. Mrs. Gerald Hester, blue voile frock, striped bodice, with cream vest and sleeves, tucked and trimmed with lace. Mrs. Ted Hester, brown glace silk. Miss. J. H. Wilson (Perth), French silk muslin in pale shade of pink. Miss Eva Hall (cousin), pearl gray silk voile. Miss Bertha Warburton, dainty heliotrope silk frock. Miss. H. Layman handsome striped brown and cream frock. Mrs. Walter, black silk dress. Mrs. Dean, pretty striped voile costume. Mrs. Ogilvy, navy blue, striped Sicilian empire dress, white silk vest. Mrs. H. Doust, black silk frock. Mrs. A. Doust, brown liberty silk.
A dance in the hall in the evening concluded the celebration. A most enjoy-able time was spent by all, Mrs. Inglis proving an excellent hostess.
