This is the quintessential South Indian Muhurtham look that is so close to my heart. I created this traditional bridal braid, known as a Poola Jada, featuring a full arrangement of fresh jasmine flowers and authentic temple jewellery, or Jada Billai, for a divine and timeless appearance.
For a softer, more romantic bridal style, I designed this intricate fishtail braid adorned with a cascade of delicate pink flowers. This look is perfect for pre-wedding events like an engagement or sangeet, blending traditional braiding techniques with a modern floral touch.
A classic, elegant updo is perfect for a reception or cocktail party. I crafted this textured messy bun to look effortlessly chic, finishing it with a delicate, leaf-inspired crystal accessory to catch the light beautifully.
This half-up, half-down hairstyle is one of my most requested looks for its blend of elegance and glamour. I styled the hair in soft, cascading waves and added a beautiful pearl hair accessory for a touch of modern sophistication.
This is a beautiful example of a classic bridal bun, perfect for a reception. I created an intricate braided bun and surrounded it with vibrant fresh flowers, a look that is both traditional and stunningly beautiful.

About Bridal & Occasion Styling

I believe hairstyling is more than just looking good. It’s about feeling strong and ready for your big day, with that “Nanage idu baruttide” (I can do this) confidence. I blend all I’ve learned from both international masters and our own South Indian roots, so nothing is held back when I style you.

South Indian Bridal Looks - My Favourite

My heart is in creating that classic Muhurtham look. If you’re dreaming of South Indian bridal braid ideas, we can go from the traditional Poola Jada to modern twists. The real charm, though, is in the details - fresh flower hair accessories for brides, jasmine (malli poo), roses, lotus buds woven in, and temple jewellery like Jada Billai for that touch of divinity. Want pearls and beads? I love adding those for a modern vibe.

For Every Wedding Event

Weddings aren’t just one ceremony. I offer different looks for each event:

  • Reception updo hairstyles, including both neat buns and textured, romantic messy buns
  • Soft waves or curls for open hair, half-up or half-down, with crystals or pearls
  • Chic ponytails - sleek or wavy - for your sangeet or cocktail

Saree Draping & Finishing Touches

I also help with saree draping techniques for weddings, making sure every pleat sits right and the silhouette is just perfect, whether you want a traditional look with vaddanam or a modern drape.

My Approach

We sit and chat about your vision and the event vibe. Some looks might seem kashta (difficult), but that’s my headache, not yours. I travel to you, so you can just relax and enjoy getting ready. My best moments are seeing your face light up when you see yourself, feeling totally “100 on 100” for your day.

My Story

Started out just wanting to make pretty styles, now I run my own studio and academy. For me, it’s all about helping other women feel confident. Had a client once, she said 'chennagilla ansodu' (felt it’s not nice) after a bad saree draping. We took our time, gave her a look she loved. My students, from Udupi, Hassan, everywhere – some scared to even hold a curler. Now they do bookings with pride. South Indian culture, those intricate braids and beautiful sarees of Namma Bangalore, that’s what I live for. Once my student, forever family.
