Jewish Wedding (1920-1929)

Jewish wedding - mid 1920s? (Nothing specifically Jewish in clothing / customs observed.) Location of events unknown - London? Bride and groom coming down steps through crowd of wedding guests who throw rice; rose petals; confetti. Bride has two long plaits of hair hanging down either side of her face. CU bride in car talking to someone through window & waving as they drive away. Other members of wedding party come down steps. Bridesmaids (in their late teens or 20s) wear close-fitting hat with coiled circles of fabric over the coiled hair over their ears; a popular fashion at the time for hair as well as hats; it echoed the look of radio headphones! Bridesmaids and men in top hats pose; one couple start dancing on pavement - they just do a few discreet Charleston steps. Shots of wedding guests waiting for cars outside church. At another site; many wedding guests and wedding party arrive in cars and walk up toward camera. Bridesmaid does some more dancing on the pavement. Nurse carries child. I
