The garnet red curtain rises. A Phoenix is reborn in deepest scarlet, enveloped in tulle. Her ruby red suit sparkles with sequins and glass beading on shaved mink; her final appearance is a vision of guipure lace. The spirit of the Phoenix is revealed in a blaze of crimson punctuated by celadon. A fiery print bursts forth in shades of ochre, red, ash gray and smokey black. At dawn, the Phoenix returns in a halo of light, dressed in camel, sand, chestnut and antique gold. Burnished by a pale fire, she reappears in tone-on-tone veined embroidery.

She radiates mystery in a metallic sheath decorated with faded gold or pewter embroidery. In her wake the bride appears, a vision in pearly grey embroidered leaves dusted with gold.
