About Bridal & Event Makeup & Styling
My Style: Kesh n Vastrakala
Getting you ready for your big day isn’t just a job for me. It’s my way of honoring tradition and helping you feel beautiful and confident. My approach blends makeup, hairstyling, and saree draping - all in one. I call it Kesh n Vastrakala (Art of Hair and Attire) because it’s about the whole look, not just one part.
Bridal & Event Looks
I specialise in South Indian bridal styles, from simple wedding day looks to more royal, elegant finishes. My full bridal service always starts with a chat to understand exactly what you want. The package includes:
- Personal consultation to get your vision clear
- Natural bridal makeup or a bolder look, depending on your vibe
- South Indian bridal hair styling – classic buns, braids, or something modern
- Saree draping, even for heavy work sarees (ashte simple - it’s that simple)
For Every Occasion
My services aren’t just for brides. I handle makeovers for engagements, baby showers, poojas, and even your mom, sisters, or friends. Everyone deserves to look their best at important moments.
How I Work
I keep things easy and practical. If your hair is thin, I use extensions (sulabha vidhana - easy method). I love working with flowers for hair, and I’m always ready with a trick to keep your saree pinned perfectly.
Special: Kids’ Traditional Photoshoots
At VN Studio, I offer all-in-one traditional photoshoots for kids, with makeup, hair, costumes, flowers, and a pro photographer - everything handled by me and my team.
I’m based in Bangalore but happy to travel if you need me there for your special day.

My Story
Namaskara, Vidya here. Born in Kodagu, I found my true calling after joining the Srinidhi kutumba—four generations deep in tradition and books. Sanatana Dharma, rituals, and devotion shape my every day. With my husband and son, I mix art and pooja, believing a bridal look is as sacred as any ritual. Sharing tips, stories, festival meanings—these are my joys. Discipline and peace, that’s what rituals give. I share what I live.
My Work
Bridal Makeup, Hairstyle & Saree Draping - I do natural bridal makeup, classic bun hairstyle, saree draping, and floral art for weddings.
Simple, Elegant Transformations - I focus on timeless looks—clean, royal, never overdone. Classic bun over messy, always.
Teaching & Sharing - I love sharing saree draping hacks, makeup tricks, and ritual methods. Knowledge is for everyone.
Travel for Clients - Based in Bangalore, but I travel wherever you need for your special day.
