Her posture is unusually relaxed, but her eyes
are far more alive than most other brides´ of
that time. And I agree, the flowers look like put
into the photo later - they seem to float in the
air somewhere in front of her belt and nowhere
attached. Or do I just not see the ribbon?
Wouldn´t the groom wear at least a black ribbon
around his arm if she were dead? I thought there
were so many clothing rituals with mourning in those times...

I did read (I think it was a book or article) that very early in
photography there were photos of dead people done (or people who the
family might never see again in life -- Civil War soldiers being a
great example) but they were always lying down, not made to look
alive.
