The wedding of Prince Tengku Muhammad Iskandar Ri’ayatuddin Shah and Tengku Natasya Puteri Adnan:
Khatam Quran Ceremony
Tapping into the greatest design minds of our generation to craft couture creations, Tengku Natasya looked to Biyan for her Khatam Quran ceremony. Donning an ethereal mauve-coloured, hand-embroidered ensemble, the bride-to-be looked beautifully delicate reciting the holy verses.

Flower Bath & The Sungkeman Ritual
Sticking to her traditional roots, Tengku Natasya wore a Javanese-inspired look for her flower bath and Sungkeman ritual. The stunning, moss-green Kebaya peppered with delicate threading of beads lives up to the lofty fantasies every bride built up in their mind of the most perfect bespoke, traditional attire. Created by the Indonesian designer, Julianto this Kebaya weaves the story of new beginnings.
After the bathing ceremony, the bride-to-be was seen strutting another Julianto speciality, but this time the Kebaya was decked with floral elegance. Just like her other Kebaya, this one is also designed with threads of beads, but this time around, Tengku Natasya paired it with a silver brooch to enhance the ensemble. Showcasing elements of traditional garb from Indonesia, this bespoke dress was a vision to see.

At her Midodareni ceremony, Tengku Natasya wows us again with another classic kebaya crafted by Biyan. Embed with an ethereal touch, this exquisite handmade piece showcases delicate embellishments, beautiful motifs and intricate embroidery as well as beading.
