In advance of an exhibition of wedding dresses in 2013, the Victoria & Albert Museum in the UK is creating a database of photographs of clothes worn for weddings from all cultures between 1840 and the present. This database will provide a rich record and help people date their own photographs.
To ensure that an useful historical record is built, all entries will provide the year of the event and the names of the bride and groom or partners. The place and the religion of the wedding should be included if possible. The museum would like photographers to upload up to three photographs showing the fashions at any one wedding and the principal image should focus on the detail of the wedding dress (or partners' clothes).
