When Ashley was married I promised to send her a copy of grandmothers wedding announcement. Yesterday I was looking for info in the Atlanta Constitution - bada bing, bada boom... there it was.
Don't get too excited about the wedding photo. It is not Grandmother. The picture appeared next to her announcement. She saved it in her wedding scrapbook; to I am sharing it with you.
Grandmother wore a charming Wedding Suit... trimmed with Beaver Fur and matching hat. Her bouquet had White Roses with Valley Lillies entwined with streamers. The maid of honor wore a beaded brown satin dress. Grandmother's bridesmaids wore cinnamon brown velvet.
Mabel's father, Cyprian Bulloch, Jr., died when Mabel was young. The writer recognized the family connection. He mistakenly lists Ben Bulloch, her uncle and father's business partner, as her father.
I recognize the name Mrs H.R. Lipscomb as a college friend. Grandmother saved her wedding announcement.
Click on announcement to read the details.
The descriptions of wedding details is fascinating. The Atlanta Journal also had an announcement of Mabel's sister Ira Gene Bulloch's wedding to Henry Bateman Worth. The wedding took place in her mother's home. Mabel sang "Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold". The announcement said, " The house was artistically decorated with goldenrod, and smilax and pink roses filled vases on the mantel, which was banked with ferns."
Today we understand Goldenrod may be beautiful, but causes allergic reactions for many. I would never think of using it in a home. Of course I am not sure folks realised the relationship at the time.
