Sirmione · Lake Garda
Statues, fountains and old trees in a walled park, and a jetty that runs out into the lake. Villa Cortine is the classic villa wedding at Sirmione. Bridal makeup, hairstyling and draping are planned for your booked functions; travel from India is subject to availability and the appropriate permissions.

The short answer
Yes. Tejaswini’s India-based team covers weddings at Villa Cortine Palace in Sirmione on Lake Garda. The bride gets ready in a villa suite overlooking the park, ceremonies are held on the lawn by the lake, and the private jetty is used for portraits. Verona airport is about 30–40 minutes away, which makes logistics easy for families and the team.
| Bride gets ready | Villa suite with park views |
|---|---|
| Typical ceremony spot | Lawn by the lake |
| Portrait spot | The private jetty and park |
| Nearest airport | Verona, about 30–40 min |
| Best months | May, June, September |
| Makeup approach | Even base for park shade and lakeside sun |

Tejaswini’s studio is in Pune, India, and there is no Italian branch or local stand-in working under her name. She travels for weddings and pre-wedding shoots, arriving ahead of the first function and staying until the last.
Return flights, Schengen visas and accommodation for the team are paid by the client and appear on separate lines of the quote.
Your wedding functions
Planning an Indian wedding at Villa Cortine Palace Hotel? Agree the getting-ready hotel before confirming the beauty timetable. A wedding in Sirmione and a function near Gardone Riviera can involve a different shore, so transfers and the ready-by time need to be planned together.
Plan your wedding-day makeup with the hairstyle, saree or lehenga draping, dupatta and jewellery placement. Share skin preferences and reference looks so the finish suits your outfit and the ceremony light.
Build a lighter look for daytime celebrations and a more defined look for the sangeet or cocktail evening. Each booked function has its own ready-by time and outfit-change plan.
Discuss soft glam or a more defined evening finish, the reception hairstyle and the time needed to change after the ceremony. HD makeup preferences can be discussed at consultation; product choices depend on your skin and look.
Share a list of mothers, sisters, bridesmaids and other guests who need makeup and hairstyling. The quote confirms the number of artists and which services are booked for each person.
Italy wedding makeup prices are quoted for your dates, functions and team size. Ask for an itemised quote separating bridal services, family makeup, agreed touch-ups and travel. Confirm flights, accommodation, meals, local transfers and the documentation needed for each travelling artist before booking. There is no fixed package price for every Italian venue.
Punjabi, Sikh, Hindu, South Indian, Maharashtrian and other Indian and South Asian bridal traditions can have different hair, jewellery and draping requirements. Share the ceremony details when enquiring; venue permission for the ceremony is arranged separately by your planner.
Read the studio’s Pune bridal makeup package guide for context, then request a separate Italy destination quote.

Function by function

Mehendi under the park’s old trees near the fountains. A sheer, even base, rosy cheeks and a soft bun clear of the hands.

Sangeet in the villa salons. Plum and gold eyes, a set base and hair secured with extra pins for dancing.

Pheras on the lawn with Garda behind. Long-wear satin skin, a red or maroon lip and the dupatta fixed for afternoon breeze.

Reception on the lakefront terrace. A refreshed glow, berry lip and lashes for evening photographs on the jetty.


A little history
Sirmione is one of the most visited places on Lake Garda, with a moated castle at the gate of its old town and Roman ruins at its tip. Villa Cortine sits in its own walled park on the peninsula, far enough from the crowds to feel private.
The villa was built as a private residence in the early 20th century and later became a hotel. Its park, with fountains, statuary and tall trees, runs down to the water, and the long jetty is one of the most photographed spots on the lake.
For a bride, the park gives shade, which is rare on sunny Garda. We use it for portraits and keep the brightest lakefront spots for the golden hour.
Specific to this venue
Illustrative beauty schedule only. Your planner confirms venue access, ceremony permissions and room availability; Tejaswini confirms the services and touch-up attendance in your quote.
The wedding day
We ask for a room with good window light and a second room close by for family makeup, so the bride’s room stays calm.
Family looks run in parallel with the bridal skin prep, timed so nobody waits in the corridor.
Hydration, primer and a base built for dappled park light and bright lakefront sun.
Maang tikka, nath and dupatta set with the outfit on, checked from every angle the photographer will use.
Portraits under the park trees first, then on the jetty once the sun is lower.
The lawn faces the lake; we keep a shaded spot near the mandap for quick touch-ups.
Jetty portraits at dusk need a slightly warmer, more defined reception look. Allow 60–75 minutes for the change.


Tejaswini
Tejaswini has styled more than a thousand Indian brides since 2012. At Villa Cortine she plans the day around shade and sun: a soft, even base for portraits under the park trees, a long-wear finish for the lakeside pheras and a warmer evening look for the terrace.
Villa Cortine questions
There is no fixed package price. Tejaswini quotes each wedding individually, based on how many looks the bride needs, how many functions fall on each day, how many family members need hair and makeup, and the location. The team’s flights, Schengen visas and rooms are added at actual cost on separate lines. Share your function list on WhatsApp for an itemised quote.
Yes. Tejaswini’s team flies from India for weddings at Villa Cortine Palace and covers each function for the bride, family and bridal party. The team’s flights, Schengen visas and rooms are paid by the family.
In a suite in the villa, ideally with a large window onto the park. A second room nearby works for family makeup.
Yes, but the old town has traffic restrictions. Your planner arranges vehicle permits or golf-cart transfers if needed.
The jetty is better for portraits; ceremonies usually happen on the lawn. We plan the wind-proof hairstyle either way.
The shaded park suits a daytime mehendi well, especially in early summer.
