Princess Arthur of Connaught and the Marquess and Marchioness of Carisbrooke were among the large company present yesterday at St. Margaret's, Westminster, for the marriage of the Earl of St. Germans and Lady Blanche Somerset. The bridegroom, who is a captain in the Scots Greys, has served abroad since the beginning of the war, and received the Military Cross in 1916; the bride is the elder daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort.
The church was decorated with palms, variegated maple, and white flowers; and troopers of the bridegroom's regiment, drawn up inside the church, formed a guard of honour between the ranks of which the bride and her father passed to the chacel, where the bridegroom and hsi best man, the Earl of Leven and Melville, awaited her.
The wedding dress was of silver tissue over charmeuse, with a train of old Brussels point (given by the bride's mother), lined with silver. The veil, which was lent by the Duchess, was also of fine old lace. No bouquet was carried, nor were any ornaments worn.

Ivy Somerset (cousin of the bride and the birdegroom), Miss Betty Eliot (cousin of the bridegroom), Lady Morvyth Ward, and Lady Avice Sackville, whose frocks were of pale yellow georgette edged with silver. With these were worn small transparent hats of black lace, and bouquets of yellow tiger lilies were carried. The bridegroom's present to the bridesmaids was a red cornelian and jade pendant.
The music during the time the guests were assembling included a Bach prelude and fugue, and the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin; the anthem "Rejoice in the Lord" was sung during the signing of the register.
