When we start working together, we dive into your vision and your actual budget constraints. I personally handle the market scouting—whether it’s Chandni Chowk or Shahpur Jat—to shortlist options that match your vibe. Then, I’m with you at every trial to make sure the fit is perfect and the drape is exactly how you imagined. ### The Styling Journey Wedding planning is often overwhelming, which is why I break the process down into manageable steps. After our initial discovery call to pin down your style vibe and budget, I get to work. - **Market Scouting & Research:** I physically visit markets across Delhi NCR to shortlist designs, saving you days of aimless roaming. I don't just look for brands; I look for the right fabric, cut, and finish. - **Budget Mapping:** I’m honest about pricing. If a designer piece doesn't add real value to your wedding wardrobe, I will tell you. We focus on getting the best aesthetic for your budget, whether that’s high-end designer, retail, or a mix of both. - **Trial Management:** A look is only as good as the fit. I attend every trial to handle adjustments and ensure you feel comfortable moving around in your outfit. - **Conscious Styling:** I advocate for styling pieces you can wear again. We can often integrate your existing heritage jewelry with new outfits, giving you better ROI on your trousseau. - **Vendor Coordination:** From connecting you with the right makeup artists to sourcing specific accessories like kaleeras, safas, and floral jewelry, I manage the finer details so you can focus on the celebration. ### Why Hire a Stylist? Many brides feel like they have to follow cookie-cutter trends. My goal is to create a 'happy and royal' moment that feels like you. Whether you want minimal-glam for the sangeet or a traditional royal vibe for the wedding, I ensure the process feels collaborative and personal. If you are opting for custom outfits, remember that these typically need 40 to 50 days, so let’s plan ahead. ## About Sonakshi Batra I’m Sonakshi, and I truly live for shaadi season. My approach isn't about following trends, but finding the look that feels like *you*.
