About Professional Saree Draping
Why I Love Saree Draping
Styling sarees isn’t just a job for me - it’s something I’ve been doing for over 20 years and it still makes me happy every single time. I get to be part of big moments, especially for brides, and honestly, nothing beats seeing someone feel confident in their saree. Whether it’s a temple wedding in Guruvayur or a reception in Mumbai, I always feel like I’m part of the family.
My Pre-Pleated Saree Service
I do pre-pleating and box-folding for sarees, which means I’ll pleat, iron, and fold your saree before your event. On the day, I can drape it in just a few minutes - no stress, no last-minute panic. The pleats stay perfect and the saree looks elegant all day. This is a lifesaver for brides and anyone with a packed schedule.
Bridal Saree Draping for Every Ceremony
Bridal styling is my main thing. I’ll help you get the right look for every wedding event - engagement, sangeet, mehendi, oonjal, and reception. I know how important it is for each ceremony to feel special, so I make sure your saree or lehenga is draped just right.
Styles I Specialise In
I’ve spent years learning different draping styles, especially South Indian bridal saree draping. I do Kerala Settu saree styling, Madisar drape expert for Tamil weddings, Iyengar and Mangalorean styles, plus classic 6-yard, 9-yard, Maharashtrian, half-saree, and even modern low-drape looks. If you want something grand, I can do Can-Can sarees too.
Where I Work
I’m based in Mumbai but I travel for destination wedding saree draping. I’ve styled brides from Kozhikode to Guruvayur and lots of places in between.

My Story
Hi, I’m Sujata. Been doing bridal makeup and saree draping for 20 years now. Nothing like watching a bride light up in her nine yards, especially South Indian style. Once did a wedding in Guruvayur - the temple, the sadya, felt like family. Some families keep calling me back, from ear piercings to weddings, every daughter. Off-duty, you’ll find me with my family or juggling in the park. Yes, literally juggling.
