By Natalie Oliveri|
Jordan's bride and groom, and their guests, changed into their finest gowns and tiaras for the evening wedding reception hours after the marriage ceremony.
Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa tied the knot on June 1 at the Zahran Palace in Amman before moving the celebrations to the much larger Al Husseiniya Palace.
The ?dress code was white tie, meaning women wore tiaras giving royal watchers a look at some of the grandest pieces in the collections of Kings and Queens throughout the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

?The bride had earlier worn a sleek gown by Elie Saab but swapped that for a voluminous dress from Dolce and Gabbana with long white gloves and put her hair up.
Queen Rania changed into a cream and gold gown by Elie Saab, which included a dramatic cape and accessorised with ?the Arabic Scroll tiara, an elaborate headpiece that has script saying 'Allah is Great'.
The bride and groom? and their parents then welcomed guests as they arrived at the banquet hall.
Among them were the Prince and Princess of Wales, with Catherine wearing a pink Jenny Packham sequined gown and the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara.
She also wore the blue sash of the Royal Victorian Order.?
Kate has the same gown in emerald green which she first wore during her and Prince William's? tour of Pakistan in 2019.
If the pink version looks familiar, that's because Denmark's Crown Princess Mary wore the same gown in a series of portraits to mark her 50th birthday in 2022.
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and her husband Crown Prince Frederik arrived, with Mary choosing an upcycled gown she first wore to the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria in 2010.
Designed by Danish dressmaker and tailor Jesper H?vring?, the gown was later worn during her visit to Melbourne in 2011.
The mint-coloured gown now features a long lace shawl that drapes across the bodice and falls down the left shoulder.
It is the third incarnation of the dress, which originally featured gold lace across the neckline.
?Princess Mary wore the Edwardian tiara, made of diamonds and spinels.
But perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Beatrice wore the York tiara, seen on her mother Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, when she married Prince Andrew in 1986.
The York tiara features floral-shaped diamond scrolls with large white diamonds that rise to a peak in the centre.
The Duchess of York wore the tiara many times after her wedding both in the UK and abroad, including during her and Prince Andrew's 1988 tour of Australia.?
Made by Garrard, it is believed to be the first time Princess Beatrice has worn her mother's tiara.
?Princess Beatrice's gown is by Reem Acra.
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden had changed into a pink gown by Safiyaa and wore the Boucheron Laurel Wreath tiara
?Queen Maxima of the Netherlands wore the grand Stuart tiara while her daughter Princess Catharina-Amalia wore her mother's Ruby Peacock tiara.
The guests, and bride, had time to change into their new outfits and affix their tiaras as a large concert was held outside the palace before the evening reception officially began.
