EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Princess Maud of Fife, later Countess of Southesk, is seen wearing the bridesmaid dress she donned for her elder sister, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife's wedding to Prince Arthur of Connaught in 1913. The dress, made of pale pink charmeuse, was intricately adorned with soft creamy lace and a latticework belt of crystals and diamonds. A posy of white heather was tucked into the belt, adding a touch of natural beauty to the ensemble. Princess Maud's hair was adorned with wreaths of pink roses, a floral choice that complemented the pale pink hue of her dress. The year was 1913, and the event was a grand royal wedding, attended by members of the British monarchy and aristocracy. Princess Alexandra, the daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, married Prince Arthur of Connaught on March 12, 1913, at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Princess Maud, who was born on June 26, 1869, was the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Fife. She would later marry the 12th Earl of Southesk and become known as the Countess of Southesk. The bridesmaid dress worn by Princess Maud is a stunning example of early 20th-century royal bridal fashion. The use of charmeuse fabric, lace, and crystals, along with the natural beauty of the white heather and pink roses, create a timeless and elegant look that continues to inspire bridesmaids' dresses to this day.
