Pinning the Bride's Veil

Inside a busy house, every floor works toward the same wedding. In the kitchen, cooks juggle trays of food while someone on a ladder pins the bride's veil in place beside them. Nearby, women in floral robes arrange vases of flowers at a set table, and in the next room a woman decorates a towering cake on a cart as a dog leaps for a bite and two men wrestle a rose archway through a doorway. Outside, guests gather in the garden around a stone fountain, dining under the trees to string music. Downstairs, a cluttered bedroom spills shoes and gift boxes across a floral rug, a man mops a puddle beside sunflowers in a hallway, and a tailor stitches a waistcoat at his bench. A line of guests in patterned pajamas waits outside a door, while in the nursery, a grandmother reads beside two sleeping babies, each crib patterned in its own soft print.
