I specialize in the classic 'marathmola' bridal look, blending traditional Nauvari draping with natural, elegant makeup that feels like you.

About this collection

Whether you choose a Kashta or a Peshwai style, I pin my Nauvari drapes securely so you can sit cross-legged or dance for hours without worrying about loose borders. You get a trouser-like fit that holds steady, not just for photos, but for the entire event.

The beauty of a Maharashtrian bride lies in the grace of her attire. I work with you to perfect that 'marathmola' aesthetic, ensuring every pleat is aligned and secure.

My Approach to Your Look

  • Action-Proof Draping: I use heavy-duty pins and traditional methods to ensure your saree stays in place, no matter how hectic the ceremony gets. You can walk, sit, and dance with confidence.
  • Subtle Makeup: My philosophy is 'makeup disla hi nahi pahije' (the makeup shouldn't look like a mask). I focus on highlighting your natural features so you still look like yourself in every wedding photo.
  • Versatile Styles: From the traditional Kashta and Peshwai to the trendy Koli style, I customize the drape to suit the specific saree fabric and your comfort level.

Convenience for the Big Day

Weddings are tiring enough without struggling with 9 yards of fabric. If you're overwhelmed by the schedule, ask me about my pre-pleated saree service. I come to your location, measure the saree for your height, and iron-set the pleats so you can be ready in minutes. I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area to assist brides, so you can focus on the celebration rather than the preparation.
