10th 1840 Bridal Bride Garland Gown Regal Veil
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the momentous occasion of Queen Victoria's wedding day on the 10th of February, 1840. In the photograph, the young and radiant Queen Victoria is seen wearing an elegant bridal gown adorned with intricate lace and a long, flowing veil. The regal bride holds a bouquet of flowers, while a garland of orange blossoms and myrtle decorates the aisle behind her. The wedding of Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was a grand affair held at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace, London. The marriage marked a significant moment in British history, as it was the first royal wedding to take place in the Chapel Royal since the time of King Charles II. The bridal gown, designed by the renowned fashion designer, Mrs. Norman Niven, was made of white satin and featured a high neckline, long sleeves, and a fitted bodice. The gown was also embellished with a lace overlay and a long, flowing train. The veil, which was held in place by a diamond and pearl tiara, was made of Brussels lace and measured over 12 feet in length. The wedding was a grand celebration, attended by thousands of people, including members of the British royal family, European nobility, and high-ranking officials. The marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert was a love match, and their union is considered one of the most romantic and enduring in royal history. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, traditions, and grandeur of a royal wedding during the Victorian era.
