About Mehendi, Haldi & Pre-Wedding Fun
For daylight events like Haldi or Mehendi, I avoid heavy layers that can look cakey in sunlight. Instead, I use lightweight, breathable foundations that let your skin breathe while holding up to humidity and candid photography, so you stay looking fresh from the first photo to the final dance.
Whether you are planning a vibrant Haldi under the sun or a relaxed Mehendi, the goal is always to keep your look fresh. Daylight events require a completely different approach compared to night functions. I use breathable, lightweight formulas that do not oxidize under the harsh sun, ensuring your skin looks like skin, not makeup.
For hair, I love incorporating elements like fresh baby's breath, floral jewellery, or soft braids that hold their shape even when you are busy moving around and meeting guests. I am based in Mumbai, but I have done destination weddings from Ranthambore to Sri Lanka, so I know how to adapt to different climates and settings.
Whether you want a jungle safari vibe or a classic floral look, I am here to make sure you feel like the prettiest version of yourself. If you are having an outdoor event, we will also factor in the humidity and temperature to ensure your hair and makeup stay put without feeling weighed down.
