Comments:
I assume these are flower girls for a wedding. They are adorable. One small detail: on the bouquet behind the girl on the right is hanging what looks like a luggage tag. That doesn’t look like the sort of card I’m used to seeing with a bouquet today. Is that how a greeting was affixed to a bouquet then? Also, I have to admit, I love the lamp.

Maybe the flowers were tagged with the church address they were to be delivered to later? They look like decorations.
That makes sense. Now that you mention it, I think it’s more common to send flowers to a funeral than a wedding, so these are probably just decorations, rather than gifts from well-wishers.
Cute!

The little girls say wedding, the floral displays say funeral – and the setting looks like a home. Oh, if only some of these vintage photos could talk!
Yes, sometimes the mystery is fun, and sometimes it’s frustrating.
