My process starts with a 60-minute discovery call to analyze your body type and color theory, ensuring the outfits we pick don't just look good in photos but fit your actual personality and comfort levels. My path to becoming a bridal stylist was not a straight line. With a background in psychology, journalism, and literature, I spent years searching for my true calling before realizing that styling is the intersection of my interests. I treat wedding styling as a dialogue rather than a transaction. ### Why the psychology background matters When you are planning a wedding, the pressure to conform to a standard look is immense. My approach is different. We start with a discovery call where we don't just talk about designers or lehengas. We talk about how you want to feel. Are you someone who values comfort over grandeur? Do you want a heritage Rajwada look or something minimal and modern? I apply color theory and body-type analysis to ensure your wardrobe aligns with your identity. ### The Anti-Costume Philosophy I steer my clients away from one-time outfits. Whether I am curating a bridal trousseau or assisting with destination wedding styling, my goal is re-wearability. We pick pieces that can be broken down—a heavy blouse paired with a simple silk saree, or a skirt used for a festive dinner years later. ### Virtual Shopping for NRIs If you are living abroad, flying into India just for fittings is rarely feasible. I act as your proxy in Delhi and across India. From video-call scouting at designer boutiques to managing custom measurements and quality checks, I handle the logistics so you only need to show up for your final look. My service is designed to remove the distance, making the chaotic Delhi wedding market feel manageable and curated. ## About Meghna Kotawala Hi, I'm Meghna.
