The saree featured intricate gold and silver threadwork, tracing traditional motifs across the fabric. A pastel pink blouse added a romantic contrast, while a soft blush border with zardozi embroidery framed the drape beautifully. A sheer pink veil with a scalloped hem completed the ethereal look.

She wanted to remain as minimalistic as she envisioned herself on this beautiful and personal landmark of a day. Her bridal look comprised of a handloom saree in opal green, with gold and silver threads painting age-old motifs across its weave. A light blush border, embroidered with threadwork and zardozi, lined the drape with subtle pleated gota detailing added depth to the fabric. As for the veil, a soft pink was Hina's choice, framed with a scalloped hem. The dream-like drape stood personalised with her and Rocky's names, delicately embroidered.
