I do hope that you enjoy these photos of Italian brides ( and grooms ). Some of these my mom had, some are from my first cousins, some however, are from a long lost cousin that I found through ancestry research. Amazing that she, through her grandmother, had photos of my aunts and uncles.
Please share.

My grandfather and his brother designed and manufactured bridal crowns from the 1920’s – 1950’s. I think that it is very probable that many of the brides in the photos from the 1920’s through the 1950’s wore crowns and veils made by him.
