Our Story

Hello, I’m Kishore.

I am proud to introduce myself as a professional Groom Stylist — an expert who gets the groom ready for every wedding function, right at the wedding venue.

Weddings in India are grand, filled with tradition, emotion and beauty. While the bride receives a lot of attention for her attire and styling, the groom too deserves to look equally royal, elegant and confident. That is where our role comes in.

Since 2015, we have tied safas, draped shawls, dupattas and dhotis, and curated accessories, garlands and bouquets for grooms and their families — turning ordinary into unforgettable.

Another Proud Moment

A 21-metre turban for Vishal Punjabi

The Wedding Filmer

We first met Vishal Punjabi, @theweddingfilmer, at The Oberoi Udaivilas, where he noticed our work. During our conversation, he shared that he had always wanted to wear an authentic Rajasthani turban — but had never found someone who could create one exactly the way he wanted.

“Can you make a large-sized turban that I can wear by myself?”

For us, that question became a turning point. It gave us an opportunity to prove our craftsmanship and expertise in creating traditional turbans.

After waiting for nearly two months, we finally got the chance to visit his studio in Mumbai and create a 21-metre turban using the finest cotton fabric. Seeing the turban come to life was a proud moment for us.

Vishal Punjabi truly appreciated our talent and the effort behind the creation. His words of appreciation meant a lot to us, and we are sincerely grateful that he also shared the videos and photographs with us.

Moments like these remind us why we are passionate about preserving and presenting the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

We don’t just dress a groom — we transform him into a King.
