<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 9597277, member: 1476"]I don't think there's any way to determine if the attendants were married or unmarried. They all have their hair up but that could mean either they were married or of an age to be out in society. The decorative bodice looks to my eye like a fashion detail and not an indication of status. The floral-decorated crooks or staffs were discussed in your initial post. A popular wedding party accessory in the day. As to the woman in the fancy bodice... She is carrying a bouquet like the bride, not a staff, so one might assume she was maid/matron of honor. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]465251[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
