Hi Guest
I always thought philadelphus was also called bridal blossom, but my aunt called it mock orange, which I discovered to be correct. I am interested to hear what the others say.

Steve's right, Spiraea argutea, though its common name is actually Bridal Wreath rather than Bridal Spray - but then common names are notoriously unreliable, differing all round the country - which is why the proper names are essential, lol!
