This Cabinet Card is an image of a bride and groom and their wedding party. This photograph is a bit unusual because most wedding cabinet cards include the bride and groom without any other people at the wedding. The wedding appears to be quite fancy as corsages abound and everyone is formally dressed. Note that the bride is wearing a dark wedding dress. This photograph is from the studio of J. Lodgaard of Bloomer, Wisconsin. The town of Bloomer was named after a wealthy merchant named Bloomer. In 1848 he had selected the area to build a mill and a dam. He didn’t stick around very long and sold his property during construction. The town was settled in 1855.
