My Favourite Saree Draping and Styling Moments
Sarees are stories to me. Here is a glimpse of how I make every pleat count, bringing comfort and confidence to your special day.
For this beautiful Telugu bride, we achieved a flawless look with a pre-pleated Kanjivaram silk saree. The off-white and red combination, paired with traditional temple jewelry, created a radiant and timeless bridal appearance for her big day.
This video shows my process from start to finish. I begin with a perfectly pre-pleated saree, ready for on-site draping. Here, I styled a Maharashtrian bride in a traditional Kerala wedding style, ensuring every fold was perfect for her cross-cultural ceremony.
Hearing such kind words from my clients is the best part of my job. In this video, a happy client shares her experience in Tamil, explaining how I can drape for individuals or groups and how my mini-pleat style made her feel as beautiful as a bride.
This stunning Iyer bride wanted to honor her groom's heritage by wearing a Kannadiga-style drape for one of her ceremonies. I created this elegant look for her, blending traditions beautifully against the backdrop of an intricately carved wooden doorway.
There's nothing like the joy of getting ready with your closest friends. I had the pleasure of draping this bride and her bridesmaids, coordinating their looks to create this beautiful, happy moment at the wedding venue.
Draping for a baby shower is always special. I ensure the saree is comfortable and secure for the mom-to-be, allowing her to glow and enjoy her day without any fuss. This video shows the process of creating a beautiful look for this memorable occasion.
The beauty of a Kanjivaram saree is in its details. This video showcases the perfectly uniform pleats and the graceful fall of the pallu on a vibrant pink silk saree I draped for a client's engagement ceremony.
About this collection
When I drape a saree, I work romba porumaiya, which means with plenty of patience. Whether it is a heavy Kanjivaram silk or a delicate pre-pleated drape, I take my time to tuck and pin everything so you feel secure and comfortable from the first hour of your event to the last.
From busy wedding mornings to relaxed baby showers, my goal is simple: to make sure you look and feel your best without any last-minute stress. I travel across Mumbai, bringing my full draping kit to your home or hotel room. My process is built around convenience. If you are short on time, my pre-pleated service is a lifesaver. I take your saree beforehand, pleat it, iron it, and send it back ready for you to just tuck in. It takes the panic out of getting ready on the big day. I have experience with many regional styles, including Tamil Iyer, Telugu, Kerala, Maharashtrian, and North Indian drapes. For brides, I focus on mermaid shaping to remove bulk, and I use invisible pinning to keep everything in place for hours. If you have a group, I can handle the whole gang. Just let me know the timing in advance. My work is not just about the final look, it is about making sure you can enjoy your event without worrying about a pin popping out or a pleat falling loose.
