About Bridal Trousseau & Styling
I know how confusing it gets with endless options and opinions before your wedding. My styling is about making sure you feel like yourself, whether you’re a jeans-and-top person or someone dreaming of a classic South Indian bridal wardrobe. I help you shape every look for each event so you can walk in feeling comfortable, confident, and happy.
How We Go About It
- First, I get to know you - not just what you want to wear, but what makes you feel good. Your comfort is always top priority.
- Together, we’ll make a vision board with full looks for every wedding function. You’ll see everything, from Mehndi to Reception, before anything’s bought.
- Trousseau shopping isn’t just about clothes. I’ll help with bridal jewelry selection tips, outfit combos, and even tiny things like picking blouse designs that suit you.
- If you want, I’ll join you for shopping in Bangalore or Chennai, or guide you online if that’s easier.
- Personal color analysis for brides is included, so whatever you wear, you’ll look fresh and glowing.
- We’ll discuss hair, makeup, and I’ll even give you confidence coaching for brides - simple ideas to pose and carry yourself so you’re comfortable in photos.
No over-promising here. Sometimes fittings take longer, or an outfit isn’t perfect on the first try. But I’m here through all of it. Your style should feel like you, and that’s what I promise to help with.

My Story
Life’s funny, isn’t it? Imagine me, back at Sri Vijay Vidhyalaya, not as a student but as a trainer for my old teachers. Gave a 'Model Mindset' workshop to 50 of them. Standing there, I felt pure gratitude. This is why I do what I do—connecting, not just styling. One client even calls me family now. Watching someone bloom, feel good in their own skin, that’s the real reward.
