Saudi designer, Honayda Serafi, reveals dress creation for Rajwa Al-Saif’s mother’s pre-wedding event

Saudi designer Honayda Serafi on Friday shared behind the scenes footage of the design process for the dress that Azza Al-Sudairi, Rajwa Al-Saif’s mother, wore to her daughter’s pre-wedding henna party in Jordan.
Serafi had also designed the white and gold creation that Al-Saif, Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah’s fiancee, wore to the celebration.
“We have been honored to have designed the dress of Mrs. Azza Al-Sudairi, mother of the ethereal bride Miss Rajwa Al-Saif for the special occasion of the traditional henna night, as Queen Rania hosted a pre-wedding henna party at the Royal Hashemite Court,” the designer wrote on Instagram, sharing pictures from the event along with a video of the sketching process.

The mother of the bride wore a blue gown embroidered in shades of red, blue and green.
Serafi said that the design was inspired by the Saudi art of Al-Qatt Al-Asiri, known as Al-Majanab, which is deeply rooted within the identity of the southern region of the Kingdom.

“Crafted from crepe, the two-piece gown reflects cultural elegance, imbued with geometric patterns, decoration elements and hand-embroidered Asiri inscriptions,” Serafi said on Instagram.

She added that the colors of the gown were inspired by the nature of the Kingdom’s southern region.
