Wedding of Alice Sinanian and Hagop Keukdjian

The photograph shows the wedding of Alice Sinanian and Hagop Keukdjian on 28 February 1935. The bride is wearing a western-style long, close-fitting wedding dress with gathered sleeves that are puffed at the top. She is also wearing a long white veil, which is fastened to her head with a headband and also elbow-length white gloves. The groom is wearing a western-style suit with a white shirt and white bow tie. In his right hand he is holding a pair of white gloves. The three young flower girls sitting on the floor (Pinna Assadourian, Sonia Balian and Anahid Sinanian) are all wearing similar western-style dresses ruffled at the lower part. However, they differentiate at the top. The girl sitting on the left is wearing a flower headband and gloves. Her dress has short, slightly puffed sleeves. On her collar there is a small flower application. The girl in the middle is wearing a thin headband, a small necklace, and a bracelet. Her dress has large ruffles on the transparent sleeves. The girl on the right is also wearing a small headband. The short sleeves of her dress have many small ruffles. The maids of honour (Araxi Sinanian and Marie Sinanian) are wearing similar European-style dresses that reach the floor. Both dresses are ruffled at the lower part and at the sleeves. They are also wearing gloves and their coiffure is similar in style, with short-cut hair. They are wearing a dark lipstick similar to the bride’s. The photograph has been taken in a studio.
