HRH Princess Iman bint Abdullah II was a picture of bridal beauty when she said “I do” to Jameel Alexander Thermiotis during their royal nuptials on Sunday, the 12th of March. The Princess of Jordan entrusted Maria Grazia Chiuri, the creative director of Dior, to design a custom Dior wedding gown for the occasion, which took place at Beit Al Urdun in Amman, Jordan.

“Contemporary yet timeless” underscored Maria Grazia Chiuri’s design for the royal bridal gown, which was styled with a dazzling Chaumet tiara and a cathedral-length wedding veil made of pure lace. The simplicity of the bridal dress was an exquisite exercise in restraint on behalf of Dior’s creative director, who steered clear of extravagant design choices that are traditionally associated with Princess-style wedding gowns. Instead, leaning into the refined and sophisticated aesthetic decisions that came together to create Princess Iman’s fairytale wedding.

The French fashion house took to Instagram to note that Chiuri, “incorporated delicate floral details into the collar and sleeves,” of the bridal gown as a testament to the House’s expert craftsmanship. These simple lace florals weren’t just an example of the atelier’s world-class work, but also a clever nod to Princess Iman’s bridal bouquet of white posies.

The House’s atelier also demonstrated its renowned tailoring capabilities in the streamlined figure of the gown. Dior shared in a statement that it believed “the glowing bride beautifully embodied the irresistibly feminine silhouette for her special day,” and we couldn’t agree more.

The French fashion house’s impact on wedding day fashion didn’t end with bridal wear. Her Majesty Queen Rania also wore a Christian Dior dress to Princess Iman’s wedding. The beaming mother-of-the-bride opted for a floor-length gown rendered in a silk beige material filled with elegant pleating.

The Italian fashion designer said it was an “honour” to have a hand in this historical moment for the Royal Family of Jordan and shared a heartfelt message to the couple in an official Instagram post, saying: “Congratulations to the bride and groom! I was very honoured and happy to have been part of such a special day, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.”
