The Bride

[jeanettejk]

I saw a painting years ago of a bride getting reading for her wedding day and she had her bridesmaids around her helping her get ready, it's a pretty old painting. Does anybody know what it's called and who painted it?

I love this painting but not sure if it's the one you mean

There's also a painting of a bride putting her veil on, but more in close up than the above picture. It's been used quite a bit on wedding cards so I suggest a trip to your local card shop!

jeanette - This picture is available from ' Clintons' cards. It's a very large card, we bought it for a family wedding & everyone signed it inside, then the couple framed it!
