About Authentic Maharashtrian Brides
Achieving the true Maharashtrian 'navri' look requires more than just foundation. I focus heavily on the placement of the Chandrakor bindi and ensuring the Nauvari saree drape sits correctly for your ceremony. My makeup base is tailored for Indian skin tones to ensure your look stays sweat-proof and fresh throughout the rituals, from the early morning Muhurat to the evening reception.
Whether you are planning a traditional Peshwai wedding or a more modern ceremony, the key to a Maharashtrian bridal look is authenticity. I spend time getting the skin prep right, using hydrating primers so your skin glows without looking oily under harsh event lights.
My approach to the traditional look involves several specific steps:
- Eye Definition: I focus on bold eyeliner and gold or bronze eyeshadows that complement traditional jewellery like the Nath and Thushi.
- Hair Styling: The classic Ambada bun is essential. I handle the styling using hair stuffing for volume and secure it with heavy-duty pins so it holds the Mundavalya and fresh Gajra securely all day.
- Draping: Expert handling of the Nauvari (9-yard) or Paithani (6-yard) saree is a core part of my service. I use professional pinning techniques to ensure your saree stays in place regardless of how many rituals you participate in.
I operate out of my studio in Krishna Nagar, Ulhasnagar, and I also travel to venues across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area. Because I am also an educator, I keep my kits updated with the latest long-wear, HD products that photograph well. If you have a specific bridal look in mind, we can discuss your outfit and jewellery during your pre-bridal consultation to ensure everything matches perfectly on your big day.
