Everything is ready for the expected Iman weddingsecond daughter of the king daughter of King Abdullah and Queen Rania of Jordan who will get married on Sunday 12 March. And if last night the mother of the bride arranged a Henna holiday in honor of her daughter, a holiday only for women with songs, dances and a rich banquet, the memory returns to what was Rania’s wedding. It was 1993, she and the prince – he will ascend the throne in 1999 – met for several months at a party, and between them it was love at first sight. Having met in March, they got married on June 10 of the same year and on this occasion Rania was wearing not one, but two wedding dresses..
In addition to the famous white dress embroidered with gold threads, created for her by the British designer Bruce OldfieldInspired by the formal dresses of the Syrian court displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, with a full skirt and a wide lapel bolero jacket, the princess wore a second dress after the ceremony, less famous because it was not immortalized in official photos. In fact, the celebration lasted all day, and with the onset of evening, even the dress of the princess changed. The skirt was similar to the previous one, always satin and gold and ivory, the neckline instead was no longer straight, but V-shaped with straps and a bodice embellished with appliqués. Probably a more practical look for dancing.
However, none of Rania’s two outfits wanted to be paired with a tiara., preferring to collect hair in a cross, stopped at a white ribbon, from which the veil began. A gesture that is far from obvious for the future queen, who – it can be assumed – as the wife of the eldest son of the then sovereign King Hussei and his second wife, Princess Muna, could certainly wear any crown jewel that she wanted, and who instead chose a large sobriety. To see her wearing the crown, we would have to wait until 2003, four years after her husband’s accession to the throne and her corresponding coronation.

However, there is an accessory from Rania’s first dress that has returned to the spotlight these hours after the beautiful Iman decided to show off during a henna party. This is an elegant belt with a spectacular gold buckle, which was worn by the mother during the wedding. The photos posted by the queen on Instagram show how the daughter wanted to honor her mother’s memory by pairing the belt with a discreet long-sleeved tunic dress. Is this the taste of a wedding dress that we will admire on Sunday?
