Whether it is choosing between net and organza for your dupatta drape to control volume, or picking a 'Mocha Mousse' palette to suit Indian skin tones, it is about making technical design choices work for your specific comfort. Let’s figure out what actually makes you feel like the best version of yourself, rather than fitting you into a box. Planning your wedding look should feel like an exciting journey, not a series of rigid restrictions. My approach as your style planner is to break down common fashion 'rules' and focus on what genuinely works for your proportions, skin tone, and personal story. ### Bridal Draping & Silhouette Your dupatta drape changes your entire silhouette. For example, a vertical drape is my go-to for adding length, while the classic Sabyasachi style is stunning if you are mindful of fabric choice. I recommend net to keep the look slim, whereas organza can often add unwanted width. We will test these styles based on your lehenga weight and your own comfort level. ### The 2025 Color Palette Stop guessing what is trending. I analyze your undertones to find colors that make you glow, not wash you out. This season, I am seeing a shift toward rich, warming hues like 'Mocha Mousse' that look incredible on Indian skin tones, offering a modern alternative to traditional reds. ### Hair & Accessories Your hairstyle needs to survive the Sangeet dance floor and look ethereal for a Sufi night. We will coordinate your hair accessories—like statement cuffs instead of traditional kadas or brooch-attached naths—to ensure your look feels cohesive, not cluttered. ### How We Get Started We start with a conversation about your vision, venue, and budget. Whether you need a full trousseau plan, help with shopping in Pune or Mumbai, or a virtual consultation because you are planning from abroad, my goal is to handle the logistics so you can actually enjoy the wedding journey. ## About Sejal Agarwal I’m Sejal.
