EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning group photograph captures the magical moment when Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) exchanged vows with Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) on April 26, 1923, at the hallowed Westminster Abbey. Surrounded by their eight charming bridesmaids, the newlyweds radiate joy and love in their medieval-inspired attire. Elizabeth's elegant bridal gown, designed by the renowned Madame Handley-Seymour, was a beautiful vision of the 1920s era. The dress featured a high neckline, long sleeves, and a flowing, A-line skirt, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery. The bridesmaids, dressed in coordinating gowns, complemented the bride's ensemble with their own elegant attire. The Duke of York, looking dapper in his military uniform, gazes lovingly at his new wife, while Elizabeth's smile speaks volumes of her happiness. The wedding, which took place during the Roaring Twenties, was a grand affair attended by members of the British Royal Family and high society. This photograph is a testament to the timeless beauty and elegance of a royal wedding, and a reminder of the love and commitment shared by Elizabeth and Albert on their special day.
