This is an India-based team: Tejaswini and her artists live and work in Pune and travel out for each booking. For Italy the team lands early, so nobody is rushed on the first morning.
The client covers the team’s airfare, Schengen visa fees and hotel rooms; these are quoted at cost, apart from the artist fee.
Your wedding functions
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.
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.

A little history
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.
Function by function

Mehendi in a courtyard among olive trees. Sweat-resistant base, cream cheek colour and a high braid.

Sangeet in the village piazza with live music. Matte base, bold liner and a bun anchored for hours of dancing.

Pheras on a pale tufa terrace in late-afternoon sun. No face shimmer, long-wear satin skin and a classic red lip.

Reception in the lantern-lit piazza. A refreshed base, deeper lip and warm glow for night photos.
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 strong sun on pale stone and warm lantern light.
Maang tikka, nath and dupatta set with the outfit on, checked from every angle the photographer will use.
Portraits in the stone lanes and olive groves once the sun is lower.
Pale stone bounces light upward; we check the base in a mirror outdoors before the pheras.
Big families mean parallel touch-ups, so two artists stay on through the reception. Allow 60–75 minutes for the change.
