The scale changes the makeup plan more than the scenery does. A wedding here may have a dozen family members in the chair across three days, long walks from rooms to venues, and stage lighting in very large halls.
Tejaswini plans it like an operation: a family call-time sheet locked a week ahead, a second or third artist for the family, and a touch-up kit that travels with the planner so the bride is never far from a fix.

Tips · Taj Resort & Convention Centre
Planning for scale.
Fix the family list early
Lock who needs hair and makeup, and for which functions, a week before.
Add a family artist
A second artist keeps the bride’s chair on schedule.
Keep a kit near the venue
Hillside paths mean distance; the planner holds a touch-up kit.
Mind stage lighting
Avoid very cool undertones that turn grey on camera in big halls.
The look
A look that lasts a very big day.
Large weddings here suit a classic, camera-led look that holds from the first family photograph to the last reception picture. Tejaswini keeps it long-wear and balanced rather than trend-led, so the bride looks the same in hour one and hour ten.
