Dr. M. Ashby Jones, pastor of the Ponce de Leon Avenue Baptist church performed the impressive ceremony in the presence of a representative assemblage of friends, relatives and out-of-town guests. The house was transformed into spring-time loveliness by quantities of fragrant roses and hot-house flowers. Pink and white was carried out in all the decorations, except in the living room where the ceremony took place. Placed in graceful arrangement, were bowls, vases and baskets of these beautiful pink roses on mantels, consoles and bookcases. Southern smilax was garlanded on the chandeliers and palms and ferns were used as a background of greenery. Beautiful Decorations The bridal party descended the stairway, the banisters of which were entwined with smilax. Large sprays of white chrysanthemums were tied to the posts at the foot of the stairs, with white satin ribbon, and the white ribbon formed an aisle to the altar. It was held in place by pedestals arranged at intervals, which had bunches of white chrysanthemums tied to them. Enrico Leide was in charge of the music, and beautiful and appropriate selections were rendered. Before the ceremony Miss Lillian Smith sang “At Dawning” and “All For You.” During the ceremony soft nuptial music was played by Mr. Leide’s orchestra. The altar was located at the far end of the living room where the ceremony was performed. Palms and ferns formed a background for the floor baskets which held long stemmed white chrysanthemums. Seven-branch brass cathedral candelabra held white lighted tapers, which shed their soft light over this lovely setting. Adding a matchless beauty to the altar was the exquisite canopy of white roses, showered with swainsona. Tiny electric lights studded the top of the canopy, and their mellow glow gave to the magnificent surroundings a charm of wonderful loveliness. Wedding Party The first to enter in the bridal party was Mrs. Joseph Owens, of Montgomery, Ala., formerly Miss Leila May Jenkins, of Atlanta. Following her came Miss Katherine Carter. Their dresses were of the loveliest shade of Nile green, fashioned alike, with long waist line and full skirts. Rings of ostrich placed here and there on the skirts gave a lovely effect. Their shower bouquets were of a deep shade of roses and swainsona. Mrs. Frank Carter, her sister’s matron of honor, entered next. Her gown was of coral pink chiffon, fashioned on straight lines and beautifully beaded. Dainty ostrich made a lovely trimming. Her flowers were a shower bouquet of salmon pink roses and swainsona. The little ring-bearer, Master Claude Griffin, Jr., of Carrollton, son of Dr. Claude Griffin, and a cousin of the bride, came next, carrying the ring on a pillow made of white roses and valley lilies. He wore a suit of white satin. Preceding the bride came the little flower girl, Mary Stewart Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carter, and a niece of the bride. She was a dainty little figure wearing a dress of pink georgette, trimmed in row after row of tiny ruffles. Small bunches of French flowers and narrow pink and blue ribbon added a sweet touch to her lovely little frock. She carried an old fashioned bouquet of vari-colored flowers. Radiant Bride The bride entered with her father, Edwin Stewart, by whom she was given in marriage. At the altar they were met by the groom and his best man, Herman Evins. The bride was a figure of dainty loveliness in her bridal robe of white duchess satin. Made with a basque effect, the full skirt was beautifully trimmed with rose point lace, seed pearls and orange blossoms. There were two rows of the rare lace around the hem of the skirt, and between the small sprays of orange blossoms were dotted. Her veil of soft white tulle was becomingly arranged in a flat cap-like effect. A beautiful bit of sentiment was attached to this piece of old fashioned lace used for the cap, in that it was brought from Europe by the late Mrs. John Pendleton, grandmother of the bride. The soft folds of the tulle veil fell to the end on the long satin train. An especially pretty effect was the long satin train, which was attached to the shoulders by white georgette, and about the waist line was joined to the satin with a row of orange blossoms. The palest shade of green chiffon lined the long train. Her exquisite bridal bouquet was of valley lilies and orchids in shower effect. Reception Following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Stewart entertained at an elaborate reception. Assisting Mrs. Stewart in entertaining were Mrs. Arthur Montgomery, Mrs. A.M. Lloyd, Mrs. Ashby Jones, Mrs. E.V. Carter, Sr., Mrs. C.H. Stewart, Mrs. John W. Stewart, Mrs. Jacob Patterson and Mrs. Glenn Ryman. Mrs. Stewart was handsomely gowned in powder blue chiffon, beaded in a lovely design with crystal beads. The bride’s table, where covers were place for the bride and groom and the members of the wedding party, was the most beautifully appointed. It was overlaid with an exquisite lace cover. A gorgeous centerpiece covered a large place in the center of the tale. A mound of roses of different shades, fringed with lilies of the valley, was pyramided and at the top was an exquisite spray of roses and lilies. Pink tapers burned in silver candelabra and bud vases of roses and lilies were place at intervals around the table, chained together with smilax and pink tulle. Punch was served from a bowl imbedded in flowers and greens, by Miss Mary Reid, Miss Marguerite Moncrief, Miss Louise Bent and Miss Isolyne Bent. Mrs. John Stewart, of Carrollton, cousin of the bride, and Miss Lillian Smith kept the bride’s book. Out-of-Town Guests Among the out-of-town guests present were Mr. and Mrs. L.S. Lenhardt, of Cartersville, Ga., mother and father of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Dyar, sister of Mr. Lenhardt, of Royston, Ga.; Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. J.W.

Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Lenhardt left for a wedding journey to points of interest in Florida. Upon their return they will be at home with Mr. and Mrs. Stewart until after Christmas, when they will take possession of their home on St. Louis Place. Mrs. Lenhardt’s traveling gown was an ensemble suite of russet brown bengaline. The coat was trimed with squirrel fur. With this she wore a small hat of bronze velvet with a little trimming of gold.
