They work to understand the client’s personal style, their personality, their physical traits and the vision that they have in mind for this special day.

A good wedding stylist would ensure that a blushing doesn’t blush for the wrong reasons. It is easy to fall prey to latest trends when it comes to finding the right wedding attire and follow a celebrity without regard or respect for your own body.

When you just can’t make it on time!

All they need to do is have a video call with professionals from the team and have a heart to heart with them and even the measurements are taken on the video call. This makes it possible for the bride to land up in India mere days before the grand celebration and everything is already taken care of!
