Princess Rajwa Al Saif wed Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan in a lavish ceremony followed by a star-studded reception on Thursday – and her royal wedding cake is one of the most beautiful creations we've seen.
The gorgeous Saudi Arabian bride, 29, was seen dancing around the epic seven-tier creation as guests looked on, clapping in time to the music. Princess Rajwa, who looked every inch the modern bride in a custom-made Elie Saab gown with a floor-sweeping train, held a sword aloft as she prepared to slice into the cake.
The beautiful dessert took pride of place at the reception, standing tall on a grand marble table. The white cake was adorned with edible flowers in multiple shades of blue, and the effect was seriously stunning.
The choice of flower was significant as blue blooms symbolise trust and commitment. Sending blue flowers means you are hoping to keep romance going for years.
