Necklines form a flattering frame to the bridal face. Featured necklines include the off- the-shoulder style that is perfect for real jewels, the open square with tiny bows, the high collar cir- cling sheer yokes, the por- trait and the sweetheart neckline with its curving grace. Pretty sleeves are gently gathered from the shoulder line in myriad shapings from the bonnet sleeve, draped lantern, and Juliet sleeves to the short French pouff. Wonderfully shaped skirts are yoked, tucked, paneled and billow into elegant trains that move regally down the aisle. Designers have even cre- ated romantic elegance for the not-so-formal bride. Exquisite soft laces of Chantilly and French peau d'ange drift over char- meuse satin slips in above- ankle and floor-length beauties that are perfect to wear ever after. In refined sophistication, fluid jersey with deep dolman sleeves reveals the body in waist- hugging wide yoke above the gathered skirt. For luxe drama, there's the gleam of satin contrasted with fox fur cuffed and collared fit- ted jacket over a bejeweled drop-waisted gown. De- lightful jeweled hair orna- ments add a special glam- our to the head. Headdresses always complete the look of ele- gance. Magnificent man- tillas are bordered and frosted with lace floating to cathedral length.. Deli, cate flower wreaths to rhinestone sparkled ones to wear on the forehead, Ju- liet caps dewey with pearls, and flower clusters to wear on the back of the head are beautiful comple- ments to heighten the total look. Illusion veiling is shaped in pretty ways from waterfall effects to short circles that billow above chapel length veiling and snaps off for dancing at the reception. Whether the look is for- mal wedding or a smali gathering, this year's gowns bear the signature of elegant refinement to make them always perfect for that special day. t Say It With Roses When planning the color scheme for your wedding, keep in mind that each col- or of rose caies a special meaning.
