Bit of a cheek but can a couple of photos be colourised please

[john_harvey]

These are my Mum and Dad's wedding day in 1955.
I wondered if these could be colourised please, in particular I wanted the one standing next to the car,I dont know what the colour of Mum's outfit was so I will leave it to your imagination.
I know it's a bit of a cheek asking for two, so one would be fine.
Thanks and kind regards.....John

Hi John
I have Photoshop CS4 .... which is similar to the one I had previously (CS2) but more irritating ! ;)

Oh Right, it must take you hours to do this type of thing.
Thanks again......John

It does take a long time but if you want to find and preserve the detail, then it's worth it.

Your 2 pics are very clean, so the initial restores are not so time consuming
I've made a start on pic 2

Oooooo spooky
That does happen quite often I find.
It can be the colour of the clothes or flowers in a bouquet or roses growing ... ;)
