While the ceremony was kept intimate with a shorter guest list than usual, the bride stunned in a gorgeous Wardah Saleen champagne-gold ensemble. Escorted by her brother, PPP-chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Bakhtawar looked every bit as regal as her family name commands as she made her way to the wedding stage.

Bakhtawar’s bridal mehndi was done by Karachi-based henna artist Umme Kulsoom. The intricate henna was typical of the reigning bridal style these days and took the artist almost 5-6 hours to apply!

In an interesting reveal, Kulsoom shared that she had no idea who she was going to apply henna for when first asked for availability.
