Notes:
Edwardian era, based on the dress, flowers, wedding fashion, the priest, the seating and composition of the group, the location etc. Notice only one man is bearded but all the others have tashes, and the men’s' silk toppers.
Why do the bouquets differ so much? And what time period do they indicate, some younger women are in black but others are in white, is this a marriage indicator and what about the gal's hats! And the use of lace, jewellery...
What country is it, Australia? Could it be England or America?
Found here in Australia among some donated photos including the 1880 photo of the NSW Government ministry but it could be taken somewhere else. Why is it taken in front of some sort of conservatory next to a brick chimney and not a church?
What was the traditional position for the mother of the bride and the groom? The groom stands behind and to the right of the bride, possibly the bride's mother is to her right and the groom's mother is to his left with his sister or relative. It goes on...please add your thoughts below, thanks.
