Tiara Glamour at Royal Wedding Reception: Bride of Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei Steals the Show

Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei and Anisha Isa Kalebic are celebrating their royal wedding together!

After several days of events for the bride and groom separately as part of the 10 days of festivities, the couple came together on Sunday for a wedding reception and procession.

Prince Mateen and Anisha sat together for the ceremony at Istana Nurul Iman, then waved to the crowds gathered along the streets of Brunei’s capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.

Continuing her bridal chic streak, Anisha accessorized her long-sleeved wedding gown and dramatic veil with stunning jewels. She wore a diamond tiara previously worn by Princess Azemah, Prince Mateen’s sister, over a veil that covered her hair.

Royal guests in attendance included King Abdullah and Queen Azizah of Malaysia, King Jigme and Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan, Princess Noor of Jordan and more.

The wedding celebrations are set to continue with a glamorous banquet on Monday.

Prince Mateen is the Sultan’s fourth son and 10th child. He has accompanied his father on official royal engagements, including King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation in May 2023 and Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in September 2022.

Prince Mateen is active on social media, sharing posts with his nearly 2.5 million followers. Recently, he shared a photo that featured himself next to Anisha in their engagement portrait. The couple has reportedly been dating for a few years, and the Sultan announced their engagement in October 2023. The bride is the granddaughter of the Sultan’s special advisor, Pehin Dato Isa.

Last weekend, a pre-wedding ceremony known as Khatam Quran took place. Anisha sported her first bridal look, shared on Instagram by designer Teh Firdaus with photos by Muash Rosman.

“Honored to play a role in the Brunei royal wedding,” the designer captioned the images. “Witness the grace of Yang Mulia Dayang Anisha Rosnah Adam Isa Kalebic in our custom-made baju kurung in intricately woven tenunan Brunei, as she embraces elegance during her Khatam Quran event.”

Rosman also shared new photos on Wednesday of Anisha wearing another elegant bridal look, a long-sleeved white dress with a coordinating veil also by Teh Firdaus, during the Berbedak Mandi ceremony at Istana Nurul Iman.

“HRH Prince ‘Abdul Mateen and YM Dayang Anisha Rosnah binti Adam were bathed in blessings by their nearest and dearest. Parents, siblings, and venerable elders graced this momentous occasion, enveloping the soon-to-be-wedded pair in an aura of glamour and tradition,” the photographer captioned the images from the event on Instagram.

Instead of bridal white, Anisha opted for a red ensemble and an elaborate headpiece at her powdering ceremony at Istana Nurul Iman on Jan. 10.
