RECENT WEDDING
BUSCKE - KORTE
St. Andrew's Church, Gisborne, was the scene of a pretty wedding recently when a marriage was solemnised between Alice Freda Korte and Ivan Max Buscke.
The Very Rev. John Davie performed the ceremony, and Miss Lucy Brook was the organist.
The church decorations were arum lilies, white clematis and mauve lilac, stocks and rhododendrons, which made an attractive background.
Escorted by her father, the bride's gown of white self-patterned cloque featured long sleeves, sweetheart neckline with scroll piping, low-waisted bodice with buttoned and looped back and a full skirt forming a train. The fine tulle veil was an heirloom lent by a great-aunt of the bride; it was dressed with a halo of white cherry blossom. White roses and irises were carried.
The maids of honour were Miss Helen Redpath, the bride's cousin, chief, and Miss Joyce Korte, sister. Their gowns of apple-green self-checked organdie had shirred bodices, sleeves and voluminous skirts. Each wore a green head spray. Elbow-length gloves in green crochet and autumn-toned bouquets finished a colourful toilette.
The best man and groomsman respectively were Messrs. Albert Hall and George Tidswell.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Korte, Matawai, and the bridegroom the son of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Buscke, Manutuke.
The after-wedding festivities were held in the Bon Accord Lounge, where Mrs. Korte received her guests in a gown of navy cloque, matching hat and navy coat with red and blue trimmings and shoulder spray to tone. The bridegroom's mother assisted, wearing a black and white figured frock, black coat and lint and floral spray of white roses.
For travelling, Mrs. Buscke chose a smart pink wool suit with navy accessories. Their home address will be Patutahi.
