"Wedding accessories from the Nug\u00E9e family\nMany wedding artefacts are preserved because marriage is so significant an event in the lives of the participants. Some pass from one generation to the next, becoming family heirlooms. The Nug\u00E9e family kept this group of fragile objects because of their importance to the family history. The objects conjure up the romantic prettiness typical of many Victorian weddings.\n\nShoes\nChapelle\nParis, France\n1854\n\nSilk satin, cotton and leather\nV&A: T.4:1, 2-2008\n\n\nWreath\nBritain \n1854\n\nFeather and silk-wrapped wire\nV&A: T.6-2008\n\n\nWedding favours\nBritain\n1854\n\nCotton, silk, paper and wire\nV&A: T.7, 8-2008\n\n\nBridesmaid's fan\nBritain\n1854\n\nPaper leaf with metal spangles, wooden sticks and guards\nAssociated with the wedding of Elizabeth Wroughton Richards and Reverend Andrew Nug\u00E9e, 8 August 1854\nV&A: T.14-2008\n\n\nShoes\nFrance or Britain\n1887\n\nSilk satin, cotton and leather\nAssociated with the wedding of Edith Elizabeth Alston and Francis Edward Nug\u00E9e, son of Andrew and Elizabeth Nug\u00E9e, 1887\nV&A: T.5:1, 2-2008\n\nCollection given by Edward Nug\u00E9e QC [2011]"@en . . . .
