Maharashtrian Wedding & Ritual Styling
I specialise in authentic Maharashtrian wedding looks, from the precise drape of a Navari saree to the traditional styling of a Pheta for the groom.

About Maharashtrian Wedding & Rituals
Maharashtrian weddings often involve multiple back-to-back rituals, from the early morning rituals to the evening main wedding ceremony. I focus on skin prep using water-based moisturising and specific setting techniques that keep your makeup transfer-proof and fresh for hours, without feeling heavy or cakey on your skin.
Authentic Maharashtrian wedding looks require attention to fine detail. Whether it is a traditional Simantipoojan or the main wedding day, I ensure your look stays comfortable and camera-ready.
My Approach to Traditional Styling
- Bridal Expertise: I specialise in the classic Peshwai style, focusing on the correct placement of traditional jewellery and the intricate, secure draping of the Navari saree.
- Groom Grooming: I understand that the groom needs to look sharp and confident. I provide specific services for tying the Pheta and Safa, ensuring it sits perfectly and stays put throughout the rituals.
- Long-Lasting Results: For pre-wedding rituals like Punyahwachan, I use a clean, natural base that covers spots without looking artificial. For the main wedding, I switch to techniques that manage shine and humidity, so you look radiant in every photo, even under bright wedding lights.
I travel across Pune, Mumbai, and beyond for destination weddings. My goal is for you to feel like yourself—just your best, most glowing self—during your Lagna Bandhan.
