I use synthetic padding N donuts to anchor the weight of heavy gold jewelry, Maang Tikkas, N the classic Mundavalya. My goal is to ensure your hairstyle holds perfectly under the weight of a heavy Paithani saree dupatta from the early morning rituals until the final event. Getting the right look for a Maharashtrian wedding involves more than just aesthetics; it is about engineering. Whether you are wearing a traditional Nauvari or a heavy Kanjivaram, your hair needs to support the weight of the jewelry N the dupatta without pulling or slipping. My Process: - Structural Foundation: I use invisible nets, bobby pins, N professional freeze sprays to create a base that lasts 12+ hours. This is crucial for the heavy ornaments like the Nath N the Matha Patti. - Floral Integration: Whether you want a tight bun with Gajras or a more modern twist, I integrate fresh flowers so they sit securely N do not wilt. - Makeup for Tradition: I focus on clean, glowing skin that pairs well with the bright, vibrant colors of Maharashtrian bridal wear. No heavy caking. I prefer defining your features so they show up beautifully in both photos N person. I travel to your venue within Mumbai. Whether you are prepping at a hotel or at home, I arrive with my full kit to manage the styling process efficiently. If you have specific hair extensions or jewelry you need anchored, we can discuss that during the booking. ## About Sonal Shah I’m Sonal.
