Fairmont Jaipur was designed to look like a Mughal-Rajput palace and to host weddings at scale. With 245 rooms on site, most families take over the hotel for three or four days, and the beauty schedule becomes part of the property's routine.

How bookings work
From Pune to Fairmont Jaipur, for every function.
Tejaswini is a Pune-based bridal artist. For Fairmont weddings she stays on property through the functions and does the bride's looks herself; family artists are added if you need them. Fares and a room close to Fairmont Jaipur are the family’s cost, charged without mark-up.

Looks by function
How each look is pitched at Fairmont.
Mehendi in a courtyard
Shade from the arches but bright sky above. Soft, breathable base, a pastel lip and a braid that keeps hair out of the way.
Sangeet in the ballroom
Choreography and stage lights. Strong eyes, a long-wear lip and a set base that will not slide when the dancing starts.
Wedding on the lawns
Classic red with polki or kundan. The drape is planned with the jewellery so nothing pulls by the second round.
Reception indoors
Gold interiors already add warmth, so the reception palette goes cooler: rose, mauve or berry rather than more gold.

What it is like
Mirrors, arches and a lot of gold.
Fairmont Jaipur is a modern building dressed as a palace: arched corridors, painted ceilings, a mirrored dining room named Sheesh Mahal and courtyards with fountains. It stands on the highway side of Jaipur at Kukas, with the Aravalli hills directly behind.
Because everything is under one roof, weddings here tend to run as a single long event. Families arrive on day one, the mehendi is that afternoon, and the pheras and reception follow without anyone leaving the property.
That convenience brings one makeup problem: gold. Gilded interiors and warm lighting throw yellow onto skin. A base that looks right in a white bathroom can look orange in a gold corridor, so tone is checked in the room where photographs will actually be taken.
Planning notes
Fairmont details worth deciding early.
Worth doing
Keep the getting-ready suite the same for all three days
Check base tone in a gold-lit corridor, not only in the bathroom mirror
Ask the hotel for a quiet room for family makeup on the wedding morning
Tell us if the sangeet is choreographed; hair and lashes are built differently
Worth avoiding
Warm, golden bases that turn orange against gilded walls
Heavy glitter on the eyes under stage lights
Using the bridal suite as the family's waiting room
A reception look in the same colour as the décor

Tejaswini has worked as a bridal artist since 2012. At a property like Fairmont, where the whole wedding happens in one place, she plans the sequence of looks so each function photographs differently, and keeps a written call sheet for the planner and photographer.
