1939 black & white wedding photograph. The group includes the bride in a long, elegant satin gown with a veil, holding a bouquet of flowers, and the groom in a light-coloured suit. They are flanked by two adult and two child bridesmaids in long dresses and floral headpieces, the adults bridesmaids each holding a satin muff and the children each a floral posy. The best man in a dark suit stands on the far right. The photo may have been taken outdoors, with bare trees in the background.
A black-and-white newspaper clipping from the Westminster & Pimlico News, dated 14 April 1939. The article is titled Mr. G. Cranstone—Miss V. Taylor. It reports the marriage of Miss Violet Taylor, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Taylor of Fulham, to Mr. George Cranston, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Cranstone, on Easter Sunday at St. Andrew's Church, West Kensington. The bride wore a white satin gown with a halo headdress and carried a bouquet of red carnations. Bridesmaids included Eileen and Joyce Taylor, who wore pink dresses with blue sashes, and older bridesmaids Miss Hilda Cranstone and Miss Emily Paddington, who wore mauve dresses with matching muffs and silver accessories. The reception was held at the home of the bride's sister in Fulham. *Groom's surname, should be Cranston.
