The Princess of Wales showcased the sweetest blush look as she  of Queen Rania and King Abdullah II's eldest daughter, Princess Iman bint Abdullah on Sunday.

The highly-anticipated wedding, which was broadcast live via Jordan TV News, saw the Prince and Princess of Wales arrive at the gardens at Zahran Palace in their typical splendor. While Princess Kate dazzled with her blossom pink dress by Elie Saab, all eyes fell on her exquisite jewellery selection.

The decadent pieces have been altered several times but date back to 1918 when Mrs. Ronald Greville ordered a pair of drop earrings from Cartier. In September 1922, Cartier supplied an additional six marquise and six baton brilliants to lengthen the earrings. In 1929 they were altered a final time to add 10 "assorted" diamonds to create their current design.

The couple are good friends with the King and Queen's son, Prince Hussein

Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif were married in an Islamic marriage ceremony known as "katb ktab" in the gardens at Zahran Palace in Amman, Jordan. Around 140 guests were in attendance at the nuptials, including members of the Royal Hashemite family, foreign royals and heads of state.

While Princess Kate kept things traditional, Rajwa Al Saif went for a surprisingly modern look in her own Elie Saab gown.

Princess Beatrice spoke briefly to King Abdullah and Queen Rania ahead of the ceremony

The newly styled princess of Jordan looked incredible in an ultra-chic, figure-hugging gown with an asymmetrical neckline, flattering ruching across the bodice and a fitted column skirt. An elegant, long train complete with delicate embellishments was attached to the lower back, creating a true contemporary princess silhouette. 

Much to fans' delight,  Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi made a surprise appearance at the royal wedding. The British royal arrived at the St Regis hotel turning out a true Cinderella moment for the occasion, dazzling in Needle & Thread’s ‘Celia Gown.’
