The Art of Groom Styling

What is a Groom Stylist?

Just as a bride has a makeup artist, stylist and draper to make sure she looks flawless from head to toe, a groom deserves the same attention on his wedding day.

A Groom Stylist is an expert who gets the groom ready for every wedding function, right at the wedding venue — making sure he looks stylish, confident and impeccably groomed on his big day.

We are experts in tying different styles of safas, draping shawls and dupattas, and applying every accessory the right way. We understand how to work with every fabric, every style and every detail.

Why Us

Why does a groom need a Groom Stylist?

Usually on the wedding day, friends and family help the groom get ready — and the person tying safas for the baraatis ties the groom’s safa too. The result? The groom ends up with an ordinary look.

Everything may look fine at first, but by the time of the varmala the dupatta has lost its shape, the accessories have moved, and the whole look starts to fall apart. Yet the groom carries that same look through the entire wedding — while the bride looks stunning from head to toe, because every detail of hers is professionally taken care of.

That is where a Groom Stylist makes the difference. We make sure the groom looks royal, confident and picture-perfect — from the first photograph to the final farewell.

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

The Detailing

Have you ever seen this kind of groom styling before?

A groom doesn’t just need an outfit. He needs direction. He needs detailing. He needs a stylist who understands how to transform ‘normal’ 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.
