Wedding Wednesdays: 1890 Veil

Wedding circa 1890

In the late 1880s to early 1890s brides wore headdresses and long veils. Leaves and seed pearls piled high on top of up-swept hair was the fashion. Long trailing ribbons of pearls and greenery frame her face. The groom wears a matching corsage.

Keeping up with email, blog posts and social media is a full time job.  That's why I LOVE blogging prompts. Let me introduce you to Wednesday Weddings. I own several hundred wedding images and can't wait to start showing them off.

 

Wedding Couple circa 1890

Don't you love the tentative expression on their faces as they pose for this portrait!  Not all brides wore white gowns.  A very nice dress and some accessories (flower in hair and bouquet in hand) suggest that this is a wedding portrait.  The groom is dressed formally in a cut away coat and white gloves.
