The Bridal Serviette is almost identical with the [Pyramid], and is so called because it is a favorite for wedding breakfasts. At the top it is to be decorated with a few flowers. For the bride, stephanotis, white roses, or any white flowers available, mixed with a little orange blossom. For the other guests a scarlet flower. The serviette must be very stiff and damp from fresh ironing. Lay it on the table flat. Fold it not in half, but within an inch and a half of the top ([see fig. 1]). Take the corners A and B, and fold them to C and D again, within an inch and a half of the last fold, and like the last fold flat and straight across. This produces [fig. 2]. Again take the ends E and F and fold over to G and H, within an inch and a half of the last fold. This will probably about halve the remaining piece; but that will depend on the size of the serviette. Then fold it the narrow way, backwards and forwards, as for a fan, nine times, creasing it firmly down. Opening it as little as possible, turn down all the tops of the folds in the way noticed in [fig. 3], beginning at the top of the three tiers. Then join it round, fixing the first fold over the last, and pinch it together at the top.
