Locke – Vine
A lovely gown of silver brocaded satin printed with an exquisite design of birds of paradise was worn by Lesley Alison. only daughter of the late Mr. W. P. Vine and Mrs. Vine, Avondale road, Armadale. for her marriage to Charles Herbert Locke, third son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Locke, of Narrabeen, New South Wales, which was celebrated by the Rev. Bright Parker at All Saints’ Church, East St. Kilda, yesterday. The bodice of the gown was made with a high, draped neckline, and a wide girdle of the material caught the waistline, with long ends falling to the ground. The skirt had a sweeping train edged with narrow cording. A small cap made of strands of the silver satin held in place the misty tulle vell, and the bride’s bouquet was of fragrant lily of the valley. She was given away by her brother, Mr. P. S. Vine, and following her down the aisle were four bridesmaids in charming Grecian frocks of cyclamen pink chiffon. They were Misses Margaret Carson. Helen Locke (Sydney), Mary McArthur (Bairnsdale), and Millicent Cairnes. Real flowers were bound in their hair, and they carried armfuls of gladioli and roses. The best man was Mr. Geoffrey Warren, and Messrs. John Locke, Vernon Vine, and Warren Carpenter were the groomsmen. After the ceremony a reception was held at Menzie Hotel. McKenzie

BRIDE IN SILVER Miss Lesley Vine Weds Mr Charles Locke
WHEN Miss Lesley Alison Vine returned from England some weeks ago, she brought with her the lovely gown of silver brocaded satin that she wore at her wedding to Mr Charles Herbert Locke on Tuesday evening, last week. The beautiful material, with its design of silver birds of paradise on a background of gleaming satin, caught and reflected the lights of the church as she moved slowly up the aisle.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Bright Parker at All Saints’ Church, East St. Kilda, which was decorated with a wealth of pink dahlias and feathery Easter daisies. The bride, who is the only daughter of the late Mr W. P. Vine and of Mrs Vine, of 10 Avondale Road, Armadale, was given away by her brother, Mr F. S. Vine.
Her gown was made on Princess lines, with a high cowl neck and long sleeves. A wide girdle of the material encircled her waist, tying in front and falling in long ends to the floor. From the waist the slender skirt fell in soft folds to the floor, sweeping out at the back into a long train with a corded edge. A silver brocaded cap, edged with a twist of the same material, confined the long tulle veil to her head, and she carried a bouquet of lily of the valley and orchids.
In delightful contrast to the shining silver gown worn by the bride were the diaphanous frocks of cyclamen pink chiffon worn by her four bridesmaids, Misses Helen Locke (Sydney), Margaret Carson, Mary McArthur (Bairnsdale) and Millicent Cairnes. Grecian in style, the frocks were softly shirred up the front of the bodices and had graceful draperies falling from the shoulders and waist to form short trains. Short tulle veils were caught to their heads with coronets of fresh flowers, and they carried bouquets of shaded flowers and foliage.
The bridegroom, who is the third son of Mr and Mrs W. H. Locke, of Narrabeen, New South Wales, had Mr Geoffrey Warren as his best man, while Messrs Vernon Vine, John Locke and Warren Carpenter acted as groomsmen.
Wedding breakfast was served at Menzies after the ceremony. The bride’s mother received the guests, wearing a graceful frock of black lace with a creamy lace yoke. Her black velvet cape was trimmed with ostrich feathers, and she wore a black velvet toque. The bridegroom’s mother, who assisted her, had blackberry-coloured flowers at the neck of her dusty pink frock, which she wore with a matching cape and a black velvet toque.
