“My mother was a stunning bride, breaking the norms of her time by choosing a golden lehenga instead of the traditional red. As a child, I marveled at her wedding pictures, thinking, “Wow, she looks gorgeous!” Fast forward 25 years, and when it came time to plan my pre-wedding shoot, the answer was clear: I would wear her exquisite, timeless lehenga, which remains as beautiful as ever. I adorned the lovely outfit and embraced a Pakistani aesthetic in the vibrant bazaars of Jaipur, styling it with minimal jewelry and soft curls. Wearing something with such sentimental value makes the experience truly special.” -says Arhana
