DescriptionPortrait of a man and woman, Irving Lee and his bride, on their wedding day. She wears a elaborately embroidered dress, with matching embroidered shoes, both with a floral motif. She wears a hat or headpiece with what appears to be floral decoration; possibly pearls, and tulle, along with a long embroidered tulle veil that reaches the ground. She wears gloves, and has a necklace with small pearl flower. She carries a large bouquet of flowers with a wide ribbon. He wears a suit with long morning coat, necktie, and flower in his lapel, and shiny dress shoes. They stand outside with a brick-walled building as background.
