In this photograph, the East Room of the White House is elegantly decorated for the wedding of Alice Roosevelt to Nicholas Longworth, which took place on February 17, 1906. Alice Roosevelt, daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt and Alice Lee Roosevelt, married Longworth, a member of the House of Representatives from the state of Ohio, before an estimated one thousand guests in attendance. The dais, pictured here, was set up along the large window on the east side of the room. Astilbe japonicas, palm fronds, Easter lilies, greenhouse smilax, asparagus vines, bride roses, and rhododendrons filled the room and white satin ribbons covered the ropes that created the aisle amongst all of the invited guests.
