The excitement in the air was palpable as Sara's house buzzed with preparations for her engagement to Shubman. Aditi, her best friend, was by her side, helping her get ready for one of the biggest days of her life.

Sara stood in front of the mirror, dressed in an exquisite cream-colored lehenga that exuded traditional elegance and modern sophistication. The blouse was perfectly fitted, with short sleeves and a deep neckline, its edges adorned with intricate embroidery. The delicate detailing along the borders gave it a refined yet luxurious feel, making her look every bit the regal bride-to-be.

The lehenga skirt was a masterpiece in itself. The voluminous cream fabric swirled gracefully around her as she moved, embroidered with rich gold threadwork that cascaded down from the waist and intensified towards the bottom hem. The bottom border was particularly striking, featuring ornate black and gold motifs interspersed with small embellishments that glimmered in the light. The combination of colors and textures created a look that was both opulent and graceful.

Draped over her shoulder was the matching dupatta, equally rich in its craftsmanship. The golden threadwork on the borders mirrored that of the lehenga, and the small, dangling beads along the edges added an extra layer of elegance. Sara's fingers lightly brushed over the dupatta as she admired the detailing in the mirror, the intricate work making her feel both grounded in tradition and ready for the future.

Her look was completed with stunning bridal jewelry. A statement necklace sat perfectly on her neckline, drawing attention to her glowing skin. A maang tikka adorned her forehead, while large earrings and layered bangles clinked softly as she moved. The pearls and gemstones in her jewelry were set perfectly to complement her outfit's understated elegance, creating a rich, ornate look without overpowering the ensemble.

Aditi stepped back to admire her work. "Sara, you look breathtaking."

Sara smiled, her heart fluttering as she looked at her reflection. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, adorned with delicate floral accessories and a traditional hairpiece. Her makeup was soft but striking, with a glowing complexion and subtle eye makeup that enhanced her natural beauty.

As Sara stood there, taking in her appearance, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Shubman: "Ready for this?"

She smiled softly, butterflies swirling in her stomach. She quickly typed back, "As ready as I'll ever be."

Aditi peeked over her shoulder and grinned. "Nervous?"

Sara nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. "A little, but it feels right."

The door creaked open, and Sachin poked his head in, his eyes lighting up when he saw his daughter. "Sara, you look beautiful, beta," he said, his voice full of pride.

"Thanks, Baba," she replied, her heart swelling with love.

"It's time," Sachin added, a soft smile on his face as he stepped into the room fully. "Everyone's waiting downstairs."
