For my Maharashtrian brides, I handle the *mundavalya* and jewelry setting personally, while for my Punjabi brides, I make sure that *parandi* is secure and sits just right. I don't just dress you up, I make sure the whole look feels comfortable and confident for all ur rituals. Trust me, it makes a huge diff! 🧿 I truly believe that every culture has its own magic, and my goal is to bring that out in your bridal look. Whether it's a traditional Maharashtrian bridal look or a vibrant Punjabi wedding style, I pay close attention to the cultural markers that define your ceremony. ### Why the details matter It isn't just about applying makeup; it's about making sure your heavy bridal jewelry, like the *nath* or *matha patti*, is set properly so you don't feel burdened. For my brides, I take care of the draping—whether it's a Nauvari or a heavy lehenga—so you can dance freely without worrying about your outfit. ### My process for you * **Consultation:** We’ll discuss ur cultural expectations and the specific look you want well in advance. * **Prep:** Good skin is the foundation of any great look. I always suggest starting ur skincare routine early so the makeup sits like a dream. * **Styling:** I specialize in advanced hairstyles like the traditional Khopa bun or trendy Parandi braids, ensuring they are structured with the right padding and accessories. * **Draping & Setup:** From pinning the pallu to securing the jewelry, I’m there to handle the stress so you can just enjoy ur auspicious day. My studio is based in Mumbai, but I travel wherever you need me for your destination wedding. If you're feeling confused, I always recommend a bridal makeup trial or a quick video call. It saves so much time and helps us align on the vision before the main day. Tension na lijiye, I’m here to make you shine! 🧿 ## About Fiona Fernandes Heyyy, I'm Fiona! I’m absolutely obsessed with the little details that define our traditions. I don't just do makeup; I help bring your cultural heritage to life so you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your big day. Let's make some magic happen together!
