LONDON'S SMART SET INTERESTED IN COMING WEDDING

London, Jan. 31. - For some weeks the coming marriage of Miss Florence Padelford, daughter of Mrs. Ernest Cunard by her first marriage, and the Hon. Bertie Grosvenor, eldest son of the Lord and Lady Eubury, of Moor park, has been the subject of considerable interest. Miss Florence Padelford, although a great favorite in society, and among the girls of her own age, has always avoided publicity of every description, and in this her fiance's views thoroughly coincide with hers. The wedding, I undertand is to take place at St. Margaret's Westminister, Saturday, February 1. Miss Padelford spent most of the autumn at her mother's and step-father's country place. Red Rice, Andover, helping to entertain house parties, and only coming up to London occassionally to attend matters connected with her trousseau. She has received many handsome presents from members of the family, including a magnificent diamond tiara. From Lord Ebury she received a diamond and emerald ring which is one of the family heirlooms, being the gift of the duke of Wellington to the late Lady Ebury. Mr. Ernest Cunard has given his stepdaughter a handsome diamond corsage ornament. Her mother's gift is a pearl and diamond dog collar. Among Mr. Grosvenor's presents to his fiance are a traveling bag, a diamond and emerald ring and a rope of lovely pearls, and he has received from Miss Padelford a gold watch and an enamel cigarete case. The bride's dress is of soft white satin with a long train, entirely covered with old Brussels lace, the gift of Lady Eubury, who also presented her future daughter-in-law with an old Honiton lace weil which has been worn by severla members of the family for many years. Master Ivor Guest and Master Martin Glynn, nephews of the bridegroom, will act as pages. They will wear little Van Dyke costumes of white satin edged with pink velvet tape to match the color of the bridesmaids' gown. The six bridesmaids include Miss Molly Grosvenor, daughter of the Hon. Mrs. Norman Grosvenor, and Miss Rosaumnd Grosvenor, the Hon. Mrs. Algernon Grosvenor's daughter, these two girls being nieces of the Hon. Bertie Grosvenor; Lady Rosemary Carins, Miss Ralil, daughter of Mrs. Eddie Stoner; Miss Rachel Hope Vere and Lady Norrey's daughter, the Hon. Alexandra Bertie. Their dresses are of Rose du Barry chiffon trimmed with soft silk of the same shade, and althugh it is not yet decided upon, it is probable that they will wear only large bows in their hair. Mr. Ernest Cunard will give the bride away, and after the ceremony he and Mrs. Cunard will hold a reception at their place in Portman square, after which the bride and bridegroom will leave for the manor house. Ashby St. Legers, Rugy, kindly lent them to Mrs. and Mrs. Ivor Guest, to spend their honemoon.

Florence married Robert Victor GROSVENOR on 01 Feb 1908 in London, London, England. Robert died on 05 Nov 1921 in Beaconsfield, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
