Unidentified bride and bridesmaids
Title
Unidentified bride and bridesmaids
Description
Black and white image of a bride in a bare room with several other women. The bride wears a long-sleeved dress with a shoulder-wide v-neck, long sleeves, and a full skirt with a long train. A hip -length veil descends from a small pill-box hat set atop her curly, shoulder-length hair. Lace and chiffon overskirts fall from the waist of her dress and continue out along the train. A young girl in a long dress is holding up the ends of the train while another young woman appears to be helping the bride with her bouquet. The bridesmaid wears a dark, ankle-length dress in a style similar to the bride's, but with short, capped sleeves and chiffon gauntlets. She wears flowers in her hair. Three other women in formal dress can be seen in the left of the image. This image is part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who owned a studio in Hillsboro; he also collected images of local life taken by other photographers.
