Your wedding functions

Bridal hair and makeup services at Borgo Egnazia

Planning an Indian wedding at Borgo Egnazia? At a Puglia masseria or resort, a dedicated indoor bridal room helps separate preparation from outdoor celebrations. Build a different look for daytime functions and evening events, with time for jewellery, hair and dupatta changes.

Bridal makeup, hair and draping

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.

Haldi, mehendi and sangeet looks

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.

Reception and engagement makeup

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.

Family and bridesmaid hair and makeup

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.

Destination bridal makeup packages for Borgo Egnazia

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.

A little history

A new village built to look centuries old.

Borgo Egnazia opened in 2010 near Savelletri, designed as a Puglian village in pale local tufa: a central piazza, narrow lanes, a castle-like hotel building and private villas with pools. It sits among olive groves a short walk from the sea.

It quickly became Puglia’s most famous resort, hosting celebrity weddings and, in June 2024, the G7 summit of world leaders. Its size and layout make it a natural fit for large Indian weddings, with different piazzas and courtyards for each function.

For the bride, the advantage is everything in one place: a private villa or suite to get ready in, short walks between functions and a resort team used to big celebrations.

The wedding day

An illustrative Borgo Egnazia wedding day.

  1. 07:30

    Team sets up in a private villa or suite

    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.

  2. 09:00

    Mothers and family first

    Family looks run in parallel with the bridal skin prep, timed so nobody waits in the corridor.

  3. 11:00

    Bride’s skin prep and base

    Hydration, primer and a base built for strong sun on pale stone and warm lantern light.

  4. 13:00

    Hair, eyes, jewellery and draping

    Maang tikka, nath and dupatta set with the outfit on, checked from every angle the photographer will use.

  5. 14:30

    Portraits in the stone lanes and olive groves

    Portraits in the stone lanes and olive groves once the sun is lower.

  6. 16:00

    Baraat and pheras at a tufa-stone terrace

    Pale stone bounces light upward; we check the base in a mirror outdoors before the pheras.

  7. 19:30

    Change for the reception

    Big families mean parallel touch-ups, so two artists stay on through the reception. Allow 60–75 minutes for the change.

Specific to this venue

Borgo Egnazia details we plan around.

Worth doing

  • Use different piazzas and courtyards for each function
  • Ask for a villa for the bride, with family makeup in another
  • Plan stone-lane portraits for late afternoon
  • Book the team’s rooms in the resort

Worth avoiding

  • Midday ceremonies on white stone in summer
  • A base that turns shiny in heat
  • Under-sizing the team for a big wedding
  • Long walks across the resort in heavy outfits without buggies
