Brides in Blue

Light larkspur blue is a bridal shade of 1938. A* filmy tulle gown in this flowertint was given added charm, at the wedding of a society beauty, by a sapphire necklace and bandeau. Long tear-drop sapphires hung from plaques of baguette diamonds threaded on to a platinum chain round her neck. A short circular veil of palest blue stiffened net was held in place by a narrow bandeau of square-cut sapphires flanked by a row of dia-mands on either side.
