Bakhtawars Wedding Dress News-BBC Urdu
The wedding of Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, daughter of the late Benazir Bhutto and former president Asif Ali Zardari, is well over but we still cannot get over the afterglow of the dresses the bride wore.
The details of what — and who — she would wear were guarded right up until Bakhtawar or her husband Mahmood Choudhry publicized them themselves on their social media.
There was Karachi-based Nida Azwer for the engagement last year, Lahore-based Zara Shahjahan for the mehndi function and for the much-anticipated nikah dress, the bride the designer from Karachi, Wardha Saleem.
Wardha Saleem says that it was “an experience that she will always cherish”.
“The response has been overwhelming. Coming from a Sindhi background myself, it gave me great pride to be designing the outfit for the ‘daughter of Sindh’,” the designer said in an exclusive conversation.
According to Saleem, this was the first time that she designed for Bakhtawar and her family. “They approached us. Bakhtawar has been following our work and liked our design sensibility. We had our first video call where she revealed her interest in wearing us for the main baraat event.”
Did the designer have to observe certain confidentiality requirements until the wedding day when the pictures were finally revealed? “She wanted to reveal the designer label herself and we respected her wishes,” shares Saleem.
“Bakhtawar was the dream bride that any designer would love to create for.”
We were in love with everything about the wedding .Most of all the glow on the Bride and the Groom!
