The members of the wedding party depicted in the photograph are wearing the modern clothes of the 1910s. These clothes in particular would usually entail a departure from the daily wear, to a more elegant and festive clothing. The bride, who is in the centre of the photograph, is wearing a modern ankle-length, white wedding dress with a thin veil attached to the crown of her head. The groom is wearing a western-style dark suit with a white bow tie and a flower attached to his lapel.
