Wedding Party 1949 Splash of colour please

[Aussielass]

Happy New Year and thank you to the terrific restorers who kindly gave their time to restore my photo's in 2008.  Here I am again in 2009 hoping you can help by giving some life to the wedding party by adding a splash of colour.  As always, your kindness is very much appreciated. 

My great auntie and uncle were married on a Easter Saturday on a magnificent sunny Autumn day in 1949.  The church was decorated with Easter daisies and Autumn tinted dahlias.

The brides flower's were white roses,white tuber roses, white nerines and carnations. Her coronet was white (orange blossom).  The bridesmaids dresses were mauve taffeta, and the flowers in their hair were pink cecil brunner roses with matching pink bouquets.  Hair colour of bride and bridesmaid's medium brown.

The men's suits were dark blue and their ties were light blue. 

Thanks and kind regards,

Aussielass xx
