Sunday Times (Perth) Sunday 17 May 1936
HUGHES - GROUNDS-WESTON .
St. George's Cathedral was ths scene of a picturesque wedding on Saturday, May 2, when Beryl Violet, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Grounds-Weston, of Albany road, Kelmscott, was married to Lloyd Ryder, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hughes, of Cannington. The bride, through the unavoidable absence of her father, was given away by Mr. Hector Goudie. Slim and petite, the bride entered the church wearing a classical frock of magnolia bridal satin, fashioned with unusually cut dolman sleeves and a cowl neck line. The skirt was cut on the cross with no side seams, and was beautifully pieced at the back to let the long train fall. She wore an exquisite tiara of orange blossom and iridescent tiny pearls, from which fell a billowing veil five yards long, which was richly embroidered, with lace, leaves and roses. She carried a shower bouquet of roses and maidenhair fern, faintly tinged with pink. Her attendants were Miss Lois Weston (sister of the bride), Miss Muriel Hughes (sister of the bride-groom) and Miss Lois Raston of Tammin. They were frocked alike in picture frocks of heavy duck egg blue georgette, the sleeves of which formed an unusual feature, being braided in silver and studded with rhinestones. They wore short veils of matching tulle, with a spray of autumn flowers on the side of the head. They carried muffs of silver, covered with matching ruched tulle and ornamented with autumn flowers. Silver kid shoes completed their toillets. Mr. Kent Hughes was best man, and Mr. Bill Lantzke and Mr. Ross Raston were groomsmen. After the ceremony Mrs. Grounds-Weston entertained about 150 guests in the Kelmscott Hall, wearing a frock of heavy navy blue georgette figured with leschenaultia. She wore a smart hat to tone, and carried red roses. Mrs. Hughes (mother of the bridegroom) ably assisted, wearing a smart frock of rust red dull crepe with gold ornaments. She wore a chic hat to tone, and carried autumn-shaded flowers. During the evening dancing and games were enjoyed, the music being supplied by Mr. R, Hatch's orchestra. Later the happy couple left for their honeymoon by car for a month's tour of the South-West, the bride wearing a chic frock and coat of dusty red Roubaix, with a cute little halo hat to match. Beige accessories and furs completed her toilet. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hughes are well known in the sporting world, Mrs. Hughes, better known as Beryl Weston, being a National and State diving and swimming champion, and Mr. Hughes is a keen tennis player, foot-baller, and cricketer. They will reside in their new home at Kelmscott.
