My parents in 1948; both with dark hair but dad blue eyes and mum brown. Her coat and hat were a gentle shade of pink.
-
Oops....apologies for the dodgy scan, looks like a section of something else underneath.....please ignore that!
Thanks. :)
-
Do you have a preference to the colour of Dad's suit and tie ? Black, Grey, Charcoal, Navy ?
The extra part on the scan is not a problem it can be cropped out.
Nice picture looking forward to colouring it for you.
-
I'm guessing that it would have been a dark navy; sadly neither of them are still with us to ask.
Thank you for asking.
-
I think it might show up darker if it was dark navy, Jan. Is it possible it could be a grey? I remember that particular grey with white pinstripe.
Added - I say this because I was a flower girl at a cousin's wedding in 1949 and her husband's grey suit shows up like this in the photos we have.
-
Here we go. If you would like any colour changes please do ask. I.e You might like some brown tone to hair or something else. I also was not sure if the veil/netting on the hat would colour coded pink as well, but my wife says it looks better as white with the pink hat etc.
Two copies below. Dad with Blue suit and Grey.
Warmest regards,

Stunning....absolutely stunning! Thank you so much and thanks to Gadget for the suit colour suggestion...I prefer the grey one.
-
You are welcome glad you like the colour and Yes i also think Gadget was right with the suit colour choice ;)
Seriously any changes big or small, please do say.
-
I have emailed my family but I am sure they will love it......some of the females might like to see an all pink hat though!
-
Well here is the all pink version to.
-
Thank you. :)
I did see the hat when I was a little girl ( a very long time ago!) but can't recall the colour of the netting. I wish I'd made mum keep it..........
-
I really have no idea what version would be correct, but either way she looked beautiful.
