Any ideas on the date of this wedding photo?

Looks to me like 1920s, but the groom's hairdo looks out of time!

Yes I would say twenties (my granny's wedding dress, headdress and bouquet are remarkably similar - aren't you lucky to have a wedding pic with all the guests in it - bet you'll have loads of fun identifying those!

Ah - there's the problem!    The photo has a caption in the album - "wedding of Mr & Mrs Collis".  However, I've not yet found a male Collis of the right age - as to who they all are, goodness knows!  It's definitely from the London side of the family, and I think by this time, they'd mainly moved out of Bethnal Green/Whitechapel/Stepney and were heading East towards Ilford.

I'd say between 1920 and 1938. There are no men in uniform so before the 2nd WWar.
A bit of research into ladies hats might narrow it down further!

1927

I have a wedding photograph with similar style hats dated 1929

Now you've mentioned hats, what do you make of the women on the back row (front row far left is a bit similar)?

This must be one of the worst examples of fashion known, surely?

on Ancestry's PArtail FreeBMD database I keyed in Collis, 1930 + or - 10 years, and London as the County
It came up with a good choice of possibilities!

All those of females can be disregarded, I guess.

Any of the others ring any bells with you Aulus?

That's really funny Aulus 'cos I thought the same...it looks like she had a choice of two hats to wear and couldn't make her mind up...so she wore both

I would go along with the late 1920's possibly 1927-1929. Seems that the bride had six brides maids, four adults and two children and could the lad sitting crossed legged on the right of the bride be the page boy?
