In a sweet moment, Princess Iman and Princess Salma followed Rajwa as she made her way in, fixing the sweeping train of her Elie Saab Haute Couture dress and long veil to create perfect placement. Iman, 26, perhaps had a little practice with the task, as she recently celebrated her own royal wedding in March.
