Antique Wedding Photograph

Antique Wedding Photograph

The Victorian bride in this photograph is wearing a beautiful white dress, made popular by Queen Victoria at her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840.  The resulting tradition, along with the ceremony and rituals associated with traditional European-style weddings has become known as a “White Wedding”, as described further in this entry on Wikipedia.

The bride in the following antique photograph looks either frightened or sad. Is it a future of darning socks and raising little shavers that saddens her so? Or is she just in awe of the solemn occasion? We may never know.
