The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and the meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of the wedding party and guests. The composition is carefully arranged to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, from the central figures of the bride and groom to the various onlookers and participants in the celebration. Hahn's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and realism to the scene, while also creating a sense of warmth and intimacy.
