COMMONS—JONES.
Gleaming silver and soft mauve colorings were effectively combined in the frocking for the wedding of Miss Juanita (Una) Jones, and Dr. Philip Graham Commons, which was celebrated by the Rev. Fr. Hearne at St. Mary's Church, Hawthorn, on Wednesday evening, June 10.
The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. L. M. Jones, of "Enise," Power-street, Hawthorn, and the bridegroom, the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Commons, of Doncaster.
Entering the church with her uncle, Mr. Thomas P. Mulcahy, the bride was a gleaming silver figure. Her straight gown of embossed silver tissue had long, tight sleeves and an apron panel caught at either side with bows of silver ribbon. A beautiful Limerick lace veil fell from her shoulders to form a slight train, and over all floated a misty tulle veil bound to the head with a turban of silver tissue and orange blossom. The only touch of color was provided by the sheaf of pale pink azaleas which she carried.
Misses Lucille Maher (cousin of the bride) and Dorothy Fox, as bridesmaids, were dressed alike in mauve charmante, made with godet panels of georgette which fell in points below the hem line. Their head-dresses were of the turban type in pink tissue and mauve tulle, and from one side fell a tulle scarf. This encircled the neck and fell over the right shoulder, terminating in a glinting silver tassel. Dainty bouquets of pink sweet peas tied with mauve ribbons were carried. The fairylike little train-bearer was Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Mulcahy's small daughter, Peggy, whose frock of finely pleated mauve georgette had a floral posy at the waist and was topped by a silver Juliet cap. All wore initial wristlets, the gifts of the bridegroom. Dr. Frank Benson was best man, and Mr. Alex Commons (brother of bridegroom), groomsman, while the ushers were Dr. Val Podger and Dr. Laurie Lennon.
After the ceremony a few relatives were received at Carlyon's, St. Kilda, where mauve and pink flowers provided dainty decorations. Mrs. Jones received in a gown of black satin charmante bordered with silk fringe, which also formed a long cape and finished at one shoulder with a tea rose to match those in her dainty posy. Mrs. Commons (the bridegroom's mother) wore a graceful gown of silver grey marocain and carried a posy of purple violets.
The bride's travelling suit of cinnamon repp showed a cinnamon and blue cravat and was worn with a peacock blue felt hat. Dr. and Mrs. P. G. Commons will reside in Doncaster.
