About Featured
Whether you are draping a traditional 9-yard Nauvari or styling a reception gown, the secret to a stress-free day is structural security. I use specific pinning techniques for heavy headgear like Naths and Mundavalya so they stay perfectly in place through every ritual, without pulling at your hair or causing discomfort.
This collection is a mix of the styles I love creating most. You will see my signature Maharashtrian Khopa—the classic bun—adorned with fresh jasmine or roses, which remains a timeless choice for brides. Alongside this, I have included examples of soft, voluminous curls for reception events and intricate South Indian Poolajada braids featuring temple jewellery.
I believe makeup and hair should enhance your features rather than mask them, which is why I focus on skin-first glam. For my Catholic brides, I enjoy designing delicate, romantic updos that complement the simplicity of a white gown. Everything I do starts with a conversation about your outfit and the specific flow of your event, so we can plan a look that is both practical for long hours and stunning for your photos. If you are looking for a style that balances tradition with comfort, we will be a great match.
