Alexandra Duchess of Fife| Royal Wedding Jewels Diamond Tiara|Princess Arthur of Connaught
On 15 October 1913, the marriage of HH Princess Alexandra of Fife to her cousin HRH Prince Arthur of Connaught occurred. Princess Arthur of Connaught, 2nd Duchess of Fife, GCStJ was a granddaughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra and great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She was the daughter of the Princess Royal (Princess Louise) and the 1st Duke of Fife.
The bride's wedding dress was entrusted to the firm of Barolet, 51 Knightsbridge, who also supplied the gowns for Queen Alexandra, the Princess Royal and Princess Victoria. "The royal wedding gown was a very simple one of soft white satin charmeuse, the skirt draped and opening in front to show an underdress of pearl embroidery, adorned with a spray of leaves worked in diamanté.
The corsage is composed entirely of pearl embroidery, drawn in under a folded belt of white satin, finished with small diamanté ornaments. The decolletage is outlined with diamanté trimming and is filled in with soft folds of net, left slightly open at the throat. The long Court train is of white charmeuse, trimmed down the left side and round the hem with Bruesels appliqué lace specially made for the bride and held in place by a broad band of pearl and diamante embroidery terminating at the hem in a large true lovers knot. The bride will wear a long embroidered tulle veil, edged with Brussels appliqué, which will be arranged somewhat in mob-cap form on the head and encircled with a wreath of orange blossoms and white heather." The Duchess of Fife wore pearl ornaments, including a pearl necklace, and carried a bouquet of orange blossoms and white heather.
