A little history
A Gothic palace that still entertains by candlelight.
Palazzo Pisani Moretta was built in the second half of the 15th century for the Pisani family, with a façade of pointed Gothic windows on the Grand Canal. In the 18th century its interiors were redecorated with frescoes and stucco, and they survive almost untouched.
It is still privately owned and used for balls, dinners and private celebrations, with guests arriving by boat at its water gate. Its main hall, lit by candles and Murano chandeliers, is one of the most atmospheric rooms in Venice.
For makeup, candlelight is beautiful but unforgiving. We add warmth and definition, avoid a flat matte base and plan a quick touch-up after the boat arrival.

Mehendi in a hotel garden in the city
Lagoon light from every side. A dewy, lightweight base with SPF and hair pinned well clear of the neck.
Sangeet in the palazzo ballroom
A party on the water or in a palazzo salon. Shimmer kept to the lids, a set base and hair secured for a boat ride.
Pheras at the palazzo halls
Reflected light off the water all afternoon. A satin finish, waterproof eye products and a dupatta pinned at several points.
Reception in the candlelit ballroom
Venetian glass and candlelight. A refreshed base, a deeper lip and a highlight that glows rather than glares.
Tejaswini
Your artist at Pisani Moretta
Tejaswini has styled more than a thousand Indian brides since 2012. For a candlelit palazzo she plans a warm, luminous base with stronger eye definition, a wind-proof hairstyle for the boat and a touch-up at the water gate.
