I create polished updos and floral buns that stay put from the sangeet to the main ceremony. Whether you need a sleek, modern finish or a traditional gajra look, my NYC-trained techniques ensure your style survives the Mumbai humidity.

This is a classic low bun with a modern, slightly messy texture. I adorned it with delicate fresh flowers to complement the client's traditional attire for a wedding event.

About Elegant Updos & Floral Buns

Getting a floral bun to last in Mumbai weather is all about structure. I use crimping at the roots for volume and specialized pins to anchor the weight of fresh flowers, so your hair does not droop. If your natural hair lacks the density for a full, voluminous bun, I incorporate high-quality extensions to get that perfect shape without the added strain on your scalp.
