Say Yes to the Dress...

A lot of my time doing Family History is spent on finding  Birth Marriage and Death dates. I have over the years got quite a collection of photographs of ancestors in their wedding finery.  As June is the favorite month for weddings I thought it might be a good thing to show off a few of  my favorite Brides!

The wedding dress of Queen Victoria of the United kingdom in 1840 was considered an unusual choice at the time when colors were more usual though she was not the first royal to be married in white.

Wearing white was quickly adopted by wealthy, fashionable brides.
