Beyond the Bride
The First MasterClass, titled ‘Beyond the Bride’, presented Sagrika Rai of Warp n’ Weft and ace fashion designer Kunal Rawal of Dstress, along with make-up maestro Kumar Iyer to a rapt audience. The three experts put together a look for a mother, sister and brother of the bride in real time.
Choosing the cuts: At the wedding, the family has several responsibilities and Kunal Rawal reminded the audience that being clad in attire that restricts movement should be avoided. So choosing the perfect cut that not just accentuates but also facilitates movement is essential.
Less is more: A mantra followed by Kumar Iyer, the looks created for each member of the family adhered to minimalistic make-up with clean lines. His advice? Keep the caked look at bay.

Color play: Color schemes aren’t just for décor. Sagrika Rai suggested considering colors for the family that are subtle, but powerful. Complementing the bride’s look will work especially well when the family comes together for a portrait.

Get the fabric right: There’s meeting, greeting, dancing and a whole host of shenanigans and there is every chance you’re going to break into a sweat sooner or later in the celebrations. Sagrika and Kunal both suggest choosing a fabric that will let you breathe to keep you fresh and energetic until the last light is put out.

Trials – a rule of thumb: Don’t leave things to chance or imagination. While most family members have some idea of the kind of look they want for the final day, Kumar says an actual trial goes a long way in actually getting to know what suits your personality best.
Getting ready for your big day
The Second MasterClass – all about health and beauty – was titled ‘Getting ready for your bid day’. Three experts, cosmetologist Dr. Anjulika Bhagchandani of Kaya Skin Clinic, celebrity nutritionist Suman Agarwal and smile expert Dr. Diksha Tahilramani Batra addressed the brides’ dilemmas and concerns.

Watch your food: While most brides want to be at their slimmest around the wedding and honeymoon, Suman Agarwal suggests that seeking an expert nutritionist will make sure the weight loss process is safe, healthy and will sort the bride out with her losing her mind, her immunity or her glow.
