Disha Shah – Tarun Tahiliani

As part of our initiative ‘WeddingSutra on Location’, we invited four brides-to-be for a unique experience at Tarun Tahiliani’s couture studio in Colaba, Mumbai. Starting with a Style Consultation, a Makeover and a Photo shoot, each of the participants got to interact with some of the best names in Bridal & Wedding services.

Here in the second of the four-part series, bride-to-be Disha Shah, tells us about her experience with WeddingSutra on Location.

“I am getting married in a month from now, and my destination wedding is in Krabi, Thailand so when my Wedding Planner Neha Shroff recommended my name for WeddingSutra on Location, I was quite happy and excited. When I was informed it is at Tarun Tahiliani’s Studio I was happier– it is always a pleasure to visit his store and take a dekko at his rich creations.

When I walked into Tarun Tahiliani’s ‘drawing room’ style studio I felt quite relieved within a few minutes of being there– everyone there seemed very friendly and chatty, and that is the environment I am more comfortable in. My session started with an interaction with Stylist Neha Kundnani who suggested I try a dress which I liked at first sight- a voluminous net dress, fitted at the top with an asymmetric patterned outer jacket. We then looked at the different traditional gold jewellery options from Azva. Nisha recommended a layered statement neck piece set and some bangles to complement, so overall the look seemed nice.

With my outfit and jewellery sorted, it was time to get a makeover by Ojas Rajani. For someone as restless as me, I was nervous about spending a considerable time doing my hair and make-up, where I could do nothing but just sit still. It seemed like a tedious, herculean task to overcome. But to my great joy, everyone around engaged me in conversation. I asked a lot of questions, as did the other brides-to-be and time flew by. Before I knew it, Ojas gave me the perfect bridal makeover, transforming me into a glamorous bride-to-be!

Finally, it was show time with Photographer Shreya Sen whose work I have been seeing and admiring on WeddingSutra. The session was a complete blast, and I enjoyed posing while she clicked away. At the end of it all, I got a little tired because my outfit was heavy, and I had been wearing it for almost three hours! I’ve made a mental note of this and prepared myself for the wedding day– when the schedule will be much more hectic, and add to that the weather– Krabi will be warm in April. I am glad I got a feel of it all with this fun trial run to the big day!”
