1920s wedding dress

I thought I’d indulge in a little wedding nostalgia from the 1920s today, partly because I was wondering when the next series of Downton Abbey is due to start. (I’m guessing in the Autumn once the weather has turned and the summer of sport is over!) I love the styles of the 1920, these wedding dresses range from short flapper-style gowns to full length dresses, but all with a really distinctive flavour of the decade. I think my favourite is the dress below with that amazing petal-shaped hem and the groom in his very dapper top hat! Which is your favourite photo?
