Dulwich Common. South London. Amateur home movie. Nice weddings footage from the early 1960’s
Two women and a man in morning suit walk out of a building. The building is a terraced one and possibly a hotel as the front yard has small table and chairs set out. A man and a woman sit at one set. The two women are a young woman in white – shoes, dress, gloves and hat with pink ribbon and pink and white floral handbag. The other wears a navy hat, blue and green floral dress. They walk a short way down the pavement to a black car. The man in morning suit opens the passenger door. He also wears a top hat. He takes off his top hat and gestures for the women to get into the car. They move to do so. From another angle we see the man open the door and the two women get in. View of the two women speaking. View of woman in white shoes which also have a floral pattern. A house with a Rolls Royce in the drive way with wedding ribbons on the bonnet. Walking up the drive way is a blonde woman in a pale turquoise with turquoise gloves and hat and a very large yellow corsage. Behind her is a dark haired woman in blue patterned dress, grey hat and gloves. The woman in white follows with an unseen (except top of hat) woman and a man with a centre parting. In the doorway of the house stand a girl in a pale blue dress and the women in blue and green. They walk up the driveway. Close-up of turquoise woman, followed by grey hat woman, the top of the hat belongs to a woman wearing butterfly framed glasses, royal blue dress and huge pink corsage. Man in morning suit and white woman. View of woman in blue and green walking up the driveway. They are all in the wedding cars and the man in top hat acknowledges the camera as the chauffeur encourages him to get into the car. The road they are parked in is an unmade one. Top hat man gets into car. Another chauffeur walks towards the camera. View of the house. An older man stands in the doorway waving. A child and woman stand in the front garden, partially hidden by lupus in full flower. People including all those presumably mentioned are congregated outside a grey stone building. They talk in groups. A woman in cream dress with sweetheart redline and floral dress walks through the gates. Behind her is a man and a woman. View of other people arriving including close-up of man with buttonhole. The bridesmaids are on the pavement. Behind them are the wedding cars and a red double decker bus. An usher also stands in the background. The bridesmaids wear pink, of the shoulder dresses with pink lace around them. A pink rose in the hair of the older bridesmaids whilst the younger has an Alice band of pink rose buds. They all carry posies of yellow roses. There are five bridesmaids in total and they walk into the church yard. A wedding Rolls Royce pulls up. The father – in morning suit and top hat gets out and greets the camera man. He then turns to help the bride out of the car. He takes her bouquet and she alights from the car. Her dress is white with a veil and she wears a double row of pearls. She stands at the entrance to the church grounds with her father next to her.
