A photograph of Princess Elizabeth and The Duke of Edinburgh on their wedding day. They are both smiling and facing each other. Photographs of the bride and groom, and family groups, were taken in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace after the wedding ceremony. Princess Elizabeth’s fifteen-foot train was woven in Essex and hand embroidered with a pattern of roses and wheat sheaves. Her bouquet consisted of white orchids and a sprig of myrtle from the bush at Osborne House, which had supplied myrtle for the bouquets of royal brides since the 1850s.
