Maharashtrian bridal makeup in Pune — Nauvari, Nath and a face that still looks like you.
Founder-led Marathi bridal artistry for Pune brides — the nine-yard Nauvari drape, the Brahmani and Peshwai Nath, a layered Saaj — finished with skin-first HD and airbrush that holds from halad to saptapadi and into the reception.
A Marathi wedding is not a theme. It is a way of being.
The curve of your Nath, the weight of your Saaj, the fall of a Paithani or the pleat of a Nauvari — these are not costume. They are memory, family and identity, worn on the most watched morning of your life. Your makeup should carry all of that quietly, and still let your mother recognise you the moment you turn around.
For fourteen years, Tejaswini has stood beside Pune's Marathi brides through halad-stained mornings, long simant pujan afternoons and candle-lit receptions — skin that reads as skin, eyes that stay defined through the pheras, and a finish planned around your rituals, never a template.
Four reasons brides trust the morning to us.
Skin-first finish
HD or airbrush built on your skin type — luminous, never cakey, and true to your face in daylight, mandap fire and 4K film.
Planned around rituals
From halad to saptapadi to reception, every touch-point is mapped into the day's timeline so you're camera-ready at each one.
Nauvari, Nath & Saaj
Deep specialism in traditional Maharashtrian styling — drape, Nath placement and layered Saaj planned together as one look.
Founder-led & limited
A small number of brides each month, held personally by Tejaswini from first message to wedding morning.
Nine yards, styled to move with you.
The Nauvari saree is the most distinctive Maharashtrian bridal drape — and the most demanding. It frames the shoulders and waist differently from a lehenga, which changes how we balance the face, the blouse neckline and the jewellery.
- Peshwai-style pleating and pallu setting for a structured, regal silhouette
- Base and contour balanced for a draped shoulder and traditional blouse
- Kaani, bangles and Saaj considered so the whole frame reads as one
- Second-drape planning for brides moving into a Paithani at the reception

The soul of the Marathi bride.
Brahmani Nath
The classic pearl-and-stone Nath curved along the cheek. Base and highlight are set so it sits clean against the skin, without shine or transfer.
Peshwai Nath
Larger, ornate and regal — a statement for grand Pune weddings, with the eye and brow balanced so the Nath leads.
Modern Minimalist Nath
A lighter Nath with a soft, luminous face and natural lip — traditional in spirit, contemporary in weight.
Layered the traditional way.
Thushi
The snug gold choker at the base of the neck — neckline and base set so it never marks or transfers.
Chinchpeti
The classic flat-linked choker, paired carefully with blouse neckline and Nath for a balanced frame.
Kolhapuri Saaj
The signature Maharashtrian necklace of leaf-shaped links — layering planned to sit right with your Nath and blouse neckline.
Mohanmaal
The long multi-strand gold maal that finishes the look, layered for length without crowding the drape.
Planned around your rituals, not just your photos.
A Maharashtrian wedding moves through many states in one long day. We map every touch-point into the morning's timeline so you're camera-ready at each one.
Halad (Haldi)
A fresh, glowing, minimal look that photographs beautifully and wipes clean before the main ceremony.
Simant Pujan & Gauri Puja
Traditional, elegant and long-wearing for the pre-wedding rituals and family photographs.
Gathbandhan & Antarpat
The full bridal look set for the moment the antarpat drops — sealed to hold through the emotion of it.
Saptapadi & Pheras
Sweat- and heat-resistant airbrush that survives the mandap fire and a long afternoon of vows.
Reception
A refreshed or restyled look — often a Paithani-to-lehenga change — ready for evening lighting and film.
One artist, every Maharashtrian mood.

Maharashtrian bridal makeup, answered.
Do you specialise in traditional Maharashtrian (Marathi) bridal makeup?
Yes — it's a core specialisation. Nauvari draping, Brahmani and Peshwai Nath placement, and layered Saaj (Thushi, Chinchpeti, Kolhapuri Saaj, Mohanmaal), with skin-first HD and airbrush that holds through every ritual.
How much does Maharashtrian bridal makeup cost in Pune?
The signature bridal look starts from ₹40,000, including makeup, hairstyling and drape assistance. Engagement and party makeup starts from ₹25,000, and destination bridal from ₹50,000+. Full detail is on the packages page.
Do you do the Nauvari saree draping as well?
Drape assistance is included with bridal packages, and we plan the Nauvari or Paithani drape, blouse neckline and jewellery together so the whole look reads as one.
HD or airbrush — which is right for a Marathi bride?
Both are included as your choice. Airbrush is ideal for humid or outdoor mandaps and long days; HD gives a rich, hydrated finish. We recommend based on your venue, season and skin during your consultation.
Will my makeup last through the halad, pheras and reception?
Yes. Each ritual is planned as a separate touch-point, with heat- and sweat-resistant airbrush for the mandap and a refreshed or restyled look for the reception.
Do you travel for Maharashtrian weddings outside Pune?
We regularly travel to Mumbai, Goa, Jaipur, Udaipur and destination venues, and have styled Royal Maratha destination weddings. Travel and stay are quoted with your package.
How early should I book my date?
Peak Maharashtrian dates (November–February) book months ahead, and we accept a limited number of brides each month. Message early to check your date.
