EDITORS COMMENTS
This spread from The Sketch magazine reports on the elegant and grand wedding of Lady Blanche Somerset, daughter of the Duke of Beaufort, and the Earl of St. Germans, which took place at St. Margaret's, Westminster in June 1918. The left picture captures Lady Blanche in her beautiful going-away outfit, or travelling dress, as she prepared to embark on her new journey as a married woman. The middle picture showcases the adorable bridesmaids, who added an air of innocence and charm to the occasion. From left to right in the top row, we see the Hon. Ivy Somerset, Miss Betty Eliot, Lady Morvyth, and Lady Avice Sackville. In the lower row, we find Miss Betty Harford and Lady Diana Somerset, all dressed in their elegant and coordinating outfits. The right picture is a stunning portrait of the newlywed couple, the Earl and Countess of St. Germans, who looked every inch the happy and in love newlyweds. The wedding took place during a time of great uncertainty, as the First World War was still raging on, but the upper classes of society managed to find moments of joy and celebration amidst the chaos. This beautiful wedding serves as a reminder of the resilience and grace of the aristocracy during the war years.
