Maharashtrian bridal makeup in Mumbai — Nauvari, Nath and a face that still looks like you.
Founder-led Marathi bridal artistry for Mumbai brides — the nine-yard Nauvari drape, the Brahmani and Peshwai Nath, a layered Saaj — finished with skin-first HD and airbrush built to survive Mumbai humidity, from halad to saptapadi and into the reception.
A Marathi wedding is not a theme. It is a way of being.
The curve of your Nath, the weight of your Saaj, the fall of a Paithani or the pleat of a Nauvari — these are not costume. They are memory, family and identity, worn on the most watched morning of your life. Your makeup should carry all of that quietly, and still let your mother recognise you the moment you turn around.
From the old Maharashtrian heart of Girgaon and Dadar to the newer suburbs, Tejaswini styles Mumbai's Marathi brides with skin that reads as skin under humidity and camera flash, eyes that stay defined through the pheras, and a finish planned around your rituals — never a template.
Four reasons brides trust the morning to us.
Humidity-proof finish
Airbrush and long-wear HD engineered for Mumbai's coastal air — luminous, never cakey, holding through a full wedding day.
Planned around rituals
From halad to saptapadi to reception, every touch-point is mapped into the day's timeline so you're camera-ready at each one.
Nauvari, Nath & Saaj
Deep specialism in traditional Maharashtrian styling — drape, Nath placement and layered Saaj planned together as one look.
Travels across Mumbai
We come to you — Bandra to Thane to Navi Mumbai — and to Goa and destination venues, held personally by Tejaswini.
Nine yards, styled to move with you.
The Nauvari saree is the most distinctive Maharashtrian bridal drape — and the most demanding. It frames the shoulders and waist differently from a lehenga, which changes how we balance the face, the blouse neckline and the jewellery.
- Peshwai-style pleating and pallu setting for a structured, regal silhouette
- Base and contour balanced for a draped shoulder and traditional blouse
- Kaani, bangles and Saaj considered so the whole frame reads as one
- Second-drape planning for brides moving into a Paithani at the reception

The soul of the Marathi bride.
Brahmani Nath
The classic pearl-and-stone Nath curved along the cheek. Base and highlight are set so it sits clean against the skin, without shine or transfer.
Peshwai Nath
Larger, ornate and regal — a statement for grand Mumbai weddings, with the eye and brow balanced so the Nath leads.
Modern Minimalist Nath
A lighter Nath with a soft, luminous face and natural lip — traditional in spirit, contemporary in weight.
Layered the traditional way.
Thushi
The snug gold choker at the base of the neck — neckline and base set so it never marks or transfers.
Chinchpeti
The classic flat-linked choker, paired carefully with blouse neckline and Nath for a balanced frame.
Kolhapuri Saaj
The signature Maharashtrian necklace of leaf-shaped links — layering planned live during your consultation.
Mohanmaal
The long multi-strand gold maal that finishes the look, layered for length without crowding the drape.
See the Nath placement and layered Saaj styling come together, in motion.
Planned around your rituals, not just your photos.
A Maharashtrian wedding moves through many states in one long day. We map every touch-point into the morning's timeline so you're camera-ready at each one.
Halad (Haldi)
A fresh, glowing, minimal look that photographs beautifully and wipes clean before the main ceremony.
Simant Pujan & Gauri Puja
Traditional, elegant and long-wearing for the pre-wedding rituals and family photographs.
Gathbandhan & Antarpat
The full bridal look set for the moment the antarpat drops — sealed to hold through the emotion of it.
Saptapadi & Pheras
Sweat- and humidity-resistant airbrush that survives the mandap and a long Mumbai afternoon of vows.
Reception
A refreshed or restyled look — often a Paithani-to-lehenga change — ready for evening lighting and film.
A closer look at the rituals and the finishing touches on the day.
One artist, every Maharashtrian mood.
