Photo Gallery - Weddings (continued)

 

19thcouple1.JPG (12911 bytes)The bride is holding a bouquet of what appears to be freshly cut carnations tied together with a ribbon.  Her upswept hair is also adorned with several carnations.  Three rows of lace trim the bottom of her gown.  Lace also decorates the cuffs and bodice.

The groom sits as straight as an arrow in the brown wicker chair.  His crisply pressed suit with bow tie, slickly combed hair and boutonniere* tell of his care in preparing for the photograph.  (Note the watch chain looping across his vest.)

*A small flower or bouquet worn on a lapel

 

19thcouple2.JPG (13420 bytes)The photograph of this couple is very similar to the one above yet several differences can be noted. The bride in this photo is holding a bouquet of roses.  One rose also adorns her more elegantly upswept hair.  The bride's gown is longer and the full cut sleeves peek out from beneath the pleats of her high-necked bodice. (Note the bride is wearing spectacles.)

The groom sits in a wood, claw-footed chair.  He also dons a rose boutonniere but notice the style of his shoes. Instead of boots, he wears highly polished, laced-tied shoes. This gentleman's hair is also slicked back and neatly combed as the groom above. 

 

19thcouple3.JPG (11941 bytes)The casual way in which the photographer posed this couple is pleasing to the eye.  The bride is seated with her right arm resting gently on the leg of her husband. A bouquet of roses drape across her lap.  A single rose is nestled in her hair.  Embroidery work and lace decorate the bodice and sleeves of her gown. The wide wedding band is beautiful, but the large pearl ring that accompanies it is quite lovely.

The groom wears a double-breasted suit, polished boots and tie.  A lock of hair rests on his right forehead adding to the comfortable elegance of the photograph.

 

This is a lovely photograph filled with many details. The flowers are the first item to catch the viewer's eyes.  In addition to the bride's bouquet, flowers lay20thcouple3.JPG (13792 bytes) neatly at the feet of the couple. Another delightful detail is the bride gives a subtle smile to the camera! 

The bride's ensemble is a collection of fine lace, puffed sleeves, necklace and brooch. Another interesting detail, which is more evident in the original photograph, are the bride's gloves.  She dons long elegant gloves that have the fingers cut out. 

The groom is attired in a double-breasted suit, boutonnière and handkerchief in his left coat pocket. Note the styling of the groom's haircut - parted down the middle and greased down.
