EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later Queen Elizabeth, and then Queen Mother) is seen leaving her parents' house in Bruton Street on her wedding day, 26th April 1923. Dressed in a medieval-style gown designed by Madame Handley-Seymour, the young bride exudes an ethereal beauty and grace. Her elegant silhouette is accentuated by the long, flowing veil that trails behind her, adding to the fairytale atmosphere of the moment. The Duke of York, later King George VI, stands at the curb, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his bride. The scene is set against the backdrop of the elegant Bruton Street, with its grand houses and lush greenery, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the era. Elizabeth's bridal attire, inspired by the fashion trends of the 1920s, features a high neckline, long sleeves, and a fitted bodice, creating a timeless and elegant look. The intricate beadwork and embroidery on the gown add a touch of luxury and refinement, making it a fitting choice for a future queen. Madame Handley-Seymour, a renowned British fashion designer, was a popular choice for royal brides at the time, having previously designed the wedding dresses for Princess Mary and Princess Patricia of Connaught. Her expertise and creativity resulted in a stunning gown that would become a cherished memory for the newlyweds and the British people. This photograph captures the essence of a royal wedding, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance, romance, and tradition. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and timeless allure of the royal family and their rich history.
