About Desi Core: Festive & Wedding Style
The biggest mistake I see? Over-accessorizing a heavy outfit. If your lehenga has a lot of mirror work or embroidery, let the outfit shine. I always suggest keeping the jewellery minimal, maybe just a statement ring or ear cuff, instead of wearing a full set. It makes your look feel much more modern and less costume-y.
Why 'Desi Core' Is My Go-To
Festive wear in Delhi doesn't have to mean heavy, uncomfortable layers. When I style for 'Desi Core', my goal is to make you look like you put in effort without actually struggling through the event.
My Styling Process
Before our video call, I’ll ask you to send me photos of the outfit you’re planning to wear. During our 60-minute session, we look at:
- The Vibe: Is it a morning brunch or a night reception? We adjust your makeup intensity accordingly.
- Vanity Raid: I don't just tell you what to buy. We check what's already in your makeup bag and see what we can reuse to save money.
- Shade Matching: No more buying foundation that makes you look grey. I help you pick the right shades online so your makeup actually matches your skin tone.
- Hair Pairing: Should you go with sleek open hair or a messy bun for that backless blouse? We decide based on your comfort level.
Practical Wedding Tips
