Princess Rajwa of Jordan looked simply breathtaking when she was first seen at Zahran Palace in Amman for her 2023 nuptials to Crown Prince Hussein.

The royal, now 30, wore two beautiful designer gowns - the first by Elie Saab with a high neckline and long sleeves, and the second by Dolce & Gabbana with a full skirt.

However, her fairytale tiara was arguably the most meaningful element of her ensemble. The former architect wore the Diamond Tiara which was adorned with numerous modern-cut diamonds.

The tiara also paid a subtle but sentimental homage to Rajwa's new mother-in-law, Queen Rania. The diadem was inscribed with Arabic script reading 'Rajwatun min Allah' which translates to 'A prayer answered by God.'

The sweet message stems from an Instagram caption penned by King Abdullah II's wife ahead of her son's wedding where she referred to Rajwa as a "prayer answered from God".

The royal's first gown was simple but elegant with padded shoulders and an asymmetrical neckline. The gown also featured ruching across the bodice and was worn with an unexpected pair of white flats.

The bride wasn't the only member of the Jordanian royal family to don a breathtaking tiara on the special day. The Queen was seen with the Arabic Scroll Tiara, styled into her loose curls. The glittering diamond and platinum number features the prayer 'Allah is great' in Arabic lettering.

To accompany her dazzling diadem, Rania wore a black and gold gown from the Dior AW22 Couture Collection before switching into a beige beaded gown by Elie Saab which Vogue Arabia reported was "reminiscent of the one-shouldered shape of the traditional Chut Thai, the national dress of Thailand".
