About My Styling Tips & Inspiration
The most common mistake I see brides make is trying to match trends instead of finding their comfort. Whether it's choosing a sharara for a day function instead of a heavy lehenga or picking the right color palette for your Haldi, I focus on building a silhouette that fits your body type and personality, not just what is popular on social media.
How I Approach Styling
When we start planning your look, I don't just look for an outfit. I look for the entire aesthetic. If you love a minimalist look, we might skip the heavy embroidery and focus on premium fabrics and sharp cuts. If you are a fan of royal vibes, we look at zardozi work and structured drapes that add weight and elegance.
Can you skip the Lehenga?
Yes, absolutely. A lehenga is classic, but it is not the only option. For day weddings, I often recommend heavily embroidered sharara sets or a grand Anarkali with two dupattas. These are often easier to carry, perfect for moving around, and give you a unique silhouette that stands out in the crowd.
My Styling Process
- Consultation: We discuss your vision, budget, and event timeline. I want to know what makes you feel like yourself.
- Sourcing: Whether we are hitting the markets in Chandni Chowk or looking at designer catalogs online, I shortlist options that fit your specific requirements.
- Trials and Fittings: I attend your trials to catch any fit issues before the big day, so you do not have to worry about last-minute alterations.
- The Details: From jewelry selection to picking the right makeup artist who understands your style, I ensure the final look is cohesive.
Whether you are based in Delhi NCR or anywhere else in India, my goal is to make the process less stressful and more fun. You have enough to manage with the wedding, so let me handle the style coordination.
