What you are seeing is a photographer's backdrop, according to a book I have read, some photographers had more than one backdrop to suit the occasion. You can clearly see the fold at the bottom where it meets the ground.
BB, the bouquet would have been her own, her husbands buttonhole also. Although photographers often had props, I doubt that flowers would have been provided.

Funnily enough, I was part of a conversation about this at a local museum event today. Someone said her grandparents married in the 1920s and had studio photos taken which included a bridal bouquet of wax flowers which were a photographer's prop and were re-used.

thanks to all.  Were do I begin.  Yes I would agree with a Studio photo.  There was no name etc on the bottom, of the photo.  I don't think the flowers are Lilies.  We have a time frame of 1901-1910.
You can't see a ring as the lady is wearing gloves.

That's interesting, Info about  1920s studio props, but this is an Edwardian image, but could still n
Be the case if the ocassion warranted flowers.

would this be possibly for a wedding in 1897 .  I have two in that year, one at the being and the other at the end.  both would have been in the very early 20's. It's just before the Edwardian era, and the people do look a bit older that that.

Do you have any births - late Edwardian to 1912 ish?

I still think that she could be pregnant.
