I've had this photograph for a while of a more mature, newly married couple and I decided to share it for this week's Wedding Wednesday category. I believe it to be from the 1920's, probably later in the decade. The couple appear to possibly be in their thirties and I am assuming it was a first marriage for the bride as she was wearing white.
The bride is wearing a dress with a tiered skirt and her veil is longer than the skirt. Both the bride and groom are wearing a wedding ring, the groom more prominently than the bride - if you look closely you can see hers in the midst of her bouquet.
Neither the couple or the photographer are identified.
Older! Yes, I guess 30s was considered "older" then. I imagine today's brides would pin those shoes to their wedding board on Pinterest. They are CUTE!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are cute, aren't they! Yes, at 30 she would have been considered an "Old Maid" and I think she looks happy to have landed her man! Today's women don't seem too concerned about waiting until their 30's.
DeleteI find the bride's outfit (dress, veil, floral headress, bowed shoes, and bouquet) a bit overwhelming for her, because she's so petite, but I can also see the happiness in her eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe dress and ensemble are a bit overwhelming but I guess she could be forgiven in her excitement for getting married. She does look happy to me too!
DeleteLovely old photo..most certainly the 1920's. She looks to be really tiny..love that dress and those bows on the shoes..wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteI adore old wedding photos. I love those shoes and she is an adorable bride.
