Wedding preparations re- quire the co-operation of all the family, but there are many facets of the forthcoming nup- tials that only the bride-elect can tend to. SIX MONTHS before the wed- ding is not too early to plan as she will note as each week ticks by and time grows short- er. The largest and smallest ceremony is full of details that go awry, just when everything looks like orange blossoms are blooming. A bride-to-be who would enjoy her own wedding day must be prepared to unravel snags that develop, such as a bridesmaid with measles. But no matter what happens, a thought to keep her up on Cloud 9 is that it's inevitable a bride will look beautiful. Plans start the moment the couple has -chosen the wedding date. Her first purchase should be a notebook in which she will list her plans, dates ap- pointments and check list of wedding events. Even in choosing the date of the wedding, others may need to be consulted. For example, parents or the favorite friends who are to be bridesmaids or ushers may want to arrange vacations to coincide with the wedding date. Church canopies, aisle runners and pew ribbons are optional parts of the wed- ding. If you want them, be sure to order them, usually from the florist. An outdoor canopy should be ordered if the recep- tion is a garden one. If a large awning is needed it may be dif- ficult to latch on to unless you get an early start.
